I know. hug I know.

I'm super terrified myself. I'm scared. I don't know what I'll do.

Except for one thing: I'll survive. GodDAMN that motherfucker I'll survive. Even if I have to survive just to spite him, TRUMP WILL NOT CLAIM MY LIFE. >:(

Me too. Although I'm not out yet. I'm thinking I'll need to scramble, now, to put in my name/passport changes before I potentially lose the chance. Of course, I don't pass, don't have the wardrobe, makeup or body to pass. I wanted to wait a little longer before coming out, lose weight, fix my shit, you know. Don't have the money to do anything, change anything how I want.

Well, one silver lining is that at least this can serve as motivation to jump-start your journey. We need more silver linings...

We sure do... I've been on hrt for over a year now, at least, so there's that.
