And then the voice says "you will never be a girl" and then stfu is promptly retorted

That voice has lost a lot of ground.

First it said "you're not trans."

Then it said "you're not a girl."

Then it resorted to saying "you'll never be able to transition!"

Now it can't do much beyond insult about me for not being pretty, which hurts, but isn't as terrible as denying who I am. It's just too obvious that trans women exist and I am definitely one of them. I'd have to somehow be fooled about my reactions to gender affirmation and invalidation, which would basically require god tier illusions or mind control. Reality would need to be called into question to argue against me just being trans.

"You'll never be pretty!"

"Shut up internalized misogyny! A woman's value is not in her appeal to the male gaze!"

I tell my trans sisters that a voice telling them they're not pretty enough should be gender euphoric, cuz all us cis ladies have that voice, too.
