thank you so much, sis! :transshork-happy: i'll see how my transition goes, i already know that any little bit helps, that even the baby steps i'm taking every day take a massive weight off my shoulder, that even the harm that's already done is not the worst hand i could have been dealt and i'm thankful for that. cisnormativity has forced me to live my best years under a veil of ignorance, but the entire rest of my life will be mine. i just want to spare other trans people the losses i had to endure. the dysphoria, the wasted years, the unfulfilled potential. today's kids already have such a burden on their shoulder from what previous generations have done to this planet, to this society, i just wish they could at least be themselves when they're playing in the wasteland that america is becoming. this is truly heartbreaking.
