Don’t get me wrong, there were and are so many fucking challenges with my transness. I still struggle with a way forward in my life, but my transness makes that challenge feel significantly more attainable. Funny how unapologetically being my own queer self will do that for me, hehe
Makes sense :) I understand what you mean now and I agree, so much of my life would not be possible without transitioning
Right? Like before transitioning, I didn’t think I would make it this far. A lot of my issues now are often coming up to the consequences of that line of thinking, lmao
Sounds like a positive thing, then? I felt the same way, spent a really long time undervaluing myself before and after, and only recently am I starting to see how capable I am. (uh, not in a capitalistic sense tho lol fuck work i mean more like interpersonal stuff)
Yes! This is exactly what I mean. Fuck work. Having real friends who see you for you are beautiful.
yeah
it doesn't always work out, but when it does it's gud...
