It's Not the Same

I wrote this as a gentle reminder that enjoying dressing up in drag is not the same thing as being trans and is not the same thing as sexual preference (which is also not the same thing as having fantasies of men turning into women). But we should all support one another. Love. <3

Jay had been doing drag for about ten years before the Great Shift happened. Suddenly, instead of being a man who dressed up as a woman, he was now an actual woman! It was such a rush of excitement and wonder. It all felt so great at first; he began to wonder if he had been trans this entire time? He had never stopped to consider it before, but maybe the Shift was the opportunity to!?

He decided to put on one of his favorite drag outfits and head to the bar. But it all felt so wrong, and he realized why very quickly. The reason he had never felt trans in all those years of doing drag was because he wasn’t trans. He was a man who liked to dress as a woman, and now he was stuck in an actual woman’s body. He always knew there was a difference, but now he was experiencing it in a way he could never imagine. He wanted his old body back! He didn’t want to be a woman! He wanted to keep being a guy in drag! Yet, there didn’t seem to be any way to reverse the effects of the Great Shift...
