      I have learned to accept and love being trans. The conditions that we are forced to live under are beyond less than optimal and while our people have a long history of oppression, we simultaneously have a long history bursting with culture, strength, and perseverance even in light of extreme adversity. Individually, we may feel weak, but together we are strong, comrade. :red-fist: :heart-sickle:

        honestly, cis people should get the chance to throw out their bullshit notions of themselves and put themselves together as adults, rather than piecemeal through their entire lives. the process is frightening (who am I, even?) but the alternative is perpetuating the contradictions we build up inside over the years to explain the difference between how we see ourselves and how the world treats us. I suspect a lot of the mental health issues people face in their teens and twenties are really this and if we could teach people to reconstruct themselves as they changed, rather than carrying around a giant cluster of compensatory notions, we'd all be a lot happier.

        so yeah, I'm deeply glad I'm trans. it's taught my something I don't think I could have learned any other way and I'm so much stronger as a person as a result.

    I wish GRS and FFS didn't cost 30K each and I really wish I could find a job with health insurance that actually covers anything even if it's just electrolysis or HRT. I'm unemployed and every job I apply for ghosts me so I don't even have hope for finding basic health insurance. I hate how much leverage corporations have over the general public but especially over disenfranchised minorities like us. Things shouldn't be like this and I want to fight for change but I don't know how. My social anxiety and depression limits my day to day functioning so I feel incapacitated.
