      Don’t get me wrong, there were and are so many fucking challenges with my transness. I still struggle with a way forward in my life, but my transness makes that challenge feel significantly more attainable. Funny how unapologetically being my own queer self will do that for me, hehe hexbear-non-binary screm-pretty goblin-dont-care

        Makes sense :) I understand what you mean now and I agree, so much of my life would not be possible without transitioning

          Right? Like before transitioning, I didn’t think I would make it this far. A lot of my issues now are often coming up to the consequences of that line of thinking, lmao shrug-outta-hecks

            Sounds like a positive thing, then? I felt the same way, spent a really long time undervaluing myself before and after, and only recently am I starting to see how capable I am. (uh, not in a capitalistic sense tho lol fuck work i mean more like interpersonal stuff)
