    I know the standard media story is very hard for trans people and all, but I swear to god for me being trans is mostly about a lot of intense joy and euphoria

        Try painting your toe nails and wearing some panties under boy clothes! See how you feel! Anything you do you can undo, there’s some stuff that’s not easy to reverse like being on HRT for a few years (feminizing hrt takes a while to kick in, if you wanna be a girl I bet you’ll be one of the ones complaining your boobs aren’t growing in 4 months on E lol) - but you can pick up and later put down pretty much anything and only keep what makes you happy.

          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 hexbear-non-binary screm-pretty goblin-dont-care

              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 shrug-outta-hecks

                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)
