I noticed one common thing cis people assume about trans people is that we hate our bodies. That we literally want them replaced. Quora had a question like "Will brain transplants be a boon for transgender ppl?"
In my experience, it's way more complicated than that. My body has been with me for every hug, every sip of wine, every mile ran. And phys dysphoria's about my body not revealing the woman I am. As a coping mechanism for it, I needed to find parts of me to love.
