    I can’t imagine the kind of emotional trauma that trans people have to go through. It’s good to see when they get a win.

      Thank you for the empathy, friend <3

      Tbh it’s really difficult these days with all the hyperfixation on us. Especially when the powers that be choose to target us and our healthcare specifically. To live is an act of defiance at this point.

      I’m not a man or a woman. I had some kind of idea of what a trans woman was when I grew up, but it took a long time before I could say “that’s me”, because it wasn’t me. But I had to believe it was me in order to expose myself to the information of what a nonbinary person is and what kind I am. And now I know I’m nonbinary and I had to find in the deepest corners of the internet the knowledge of what gender I am, and now trans women tell me that what I am doesn’t exist.
