It's also okay to have a lot of pent-up gender and let it go in a burst. I was 23. That is a long time to be dealing with that. Let me get a tattoo after a breakup with the closet/dysphoria/cisnormativity
Estrogen also froze my age in place for 10 years since then Image
I'm currently in nearly the best shape of my life and it's been fairly effortless, good shit
I started liking rare steaks for the first time in my life after a year. My cat allergy went away
At this point it's not just that transphobes are misrepresenting transition as unhelpful or unsafe, I'm starting to suspect there's an omission of many beneficial effects beyond the ones currently documented

If you think people in their early 20s can have "rapid onset gender dysphoria" then I have the best story. In less than a year after I started estrogen I got a sidecut and a new tattoo. All power to forward gender!

Then a relative died and I had to fly back home for the funeral Image
So the entire extended family including people I hadn't seen in many years got to catch up with their freshly gender-blasted relative, also friends and coworkers, overall my grandfather was known and loved and missed by so many

Including his son, or as we all know him, "dirtbag"
Nobody likes my uncle "dirtbag". Nobody. But there he is at his father's funeral with everyone else trying to generally put up with uncle dirtbag

I get... so angry when I think about how pregnant people have been fucking murdered by medical neglect over these centimeter-sized patches of tissue theguardian.com/world/2022/oct…
I've gone from thinking of it as "not a baby" to thinking of it as an "assumed threat" in a legal environment where you're not free to extract it from your body
Not only does it not look like a human being, it looks like an inhuman coalescence of the potential to end the lives of actual human beings who are already here and trying not to die

this has been a really rough year, y'all
I mean I'm trying, but wow, this is a lot
A lot of mornings when I wake up I have a sequence of coming to awareness and then I start panicking. Transphobes are still there and you have to fight them, death is real and really kills you when it happens, I have so much to work on at the office today, bathroom, breakfast

I'm also going to say that people who have a problem with this should bring those issues to me before they try to do anything about it, I know what I'm doing here better than you probably do. Don't kick down a fence when you don't know why it's there chesterton.org/taking-a-fence…
"I'm going to go smash the egg-cracking machine for some reason" -fools
My entire blog has been me giving anti-trans "experts" a chance for 8 years now and they really blew it, I feel completely validated in seeing a beneficial role for encouraging people to consider the possibility they could be transgender, and sometimes, it's more likely than not
