You know how when you first become a leftist & read the Manifesto, you see what's wrong with everything all at once and it kind of overwhelms your brain?
It’s just one of those things you would never realize. Cause all that pain you felt in the past was just background noise. Now that you have words for it, and now that you know what it is, it has taken form and you can see it for what it is. It’s not fun, but persisting is imperative.
Let me just say one thing as a woman that is 20 months into transitioning. It gets better. I promise. The pain comes and goes, but the girl stays forever.
hey how come no one told me that realizing you're trans makes the dysphoria way worse? my new words i can use only have exacerbated my discomfort

on the one hand, it's been hard enough for the last fuck knows how many years, can I really keep going when it feels worse like this?
on the other hand, I was already prepared to just suck up the dysphoria for the rest of my life. The end is in sight now
