Alright so I just got off the phone with my immediate family to tell them about the big news I have. When I said I was working on a project, I wasn’t entirely truthful! But I really hope I have your support through it because it’s extremely impactful for me 🧵
I was born with a pretty severe hormone imbalance that caused some pretty harsh and irreversible changes during puberty. It’s been a struggle sometimes to live with, even though most people don’t even see it
I’ve been pretty resistant to medical intervention for most of my life. A big part of that was worry about the associated costs. But I also worried about the risks involved and what I may lose in terms of relationships and with society at large
Over the past few months I’ve made a decision to finally pursue treatment and I’ve begun letting my close friends know of the risks involved and how things will change for me. It’s been quite a process, but I’m determined to do what’s best for me!
As a consequence I want to let everyone know that elementary will no longer have a male CEO. I’m confident that this change will help us continue to make a positive impact and further our mission of inclusivity
Anyways, how old is too old for a gender reveal party? I’m asking for me. It’s my gender. I’m revealing it. I’m trans 🏳️⚧️ I’m a lady. And also gay. That’s not a gender but it felt relevant
So yeah, hello world. Thanks for listening to my story. I have reached my final form of gay trans atheist commie. Tada
I hope this framing resonated with other trans people and maybe gave a different perspective to cis people and also made you laugh :)
The fucking torrents of support here are overwhelming and amazing. Thank you so much!
