this really underscores the disabilities we face as women.  Most men never realize how hard it is to do things with boobs, high heels, tight clothes, long nails and smaller / weaker bodies, etc.  we still live in a world that takes too much reliance on male strengths.

And this is why Ginger Rogers was better then Fred Astaire. She did everything he did. Only she did it backwards and in high heels

I swear the safe coin tray at work is out to get me today. Everytime I've pulled it out bang, bang, bang, oww, oww OWW

LOL, that's awesome re: Ginger, I'd never heard that one!

For me though, trying to take advantage of those 'male strengths' only made me more dysphoric. Being able to move quickly in loose clothes that made me look fat and carry a 26-pound case of water with ease never brought me anything other than self-hate. Since I was not a man anyway, those strengths did not belong to me but to the body that was holding me captive. Although I do not have much breast tissue yet, I have brushed it against stuff accidentally, even with resultant pain at least once, and I saw it as a pleasant reminder that I am finally evolving into my own body.
