2 years agoI'm honestly floored by the love I've been shown here. I woke up today fully expecting to see someone telling me that I was horrible and instead I've gotten messages so sweet and supportive that you've genuinely brought tears to my eyes. I got back on this account so that I could publicly thank you and @The_Dawn for what you said. Maybe it seems silly but it really means the world to me. This has been eating me up inside for years, and thinking the people I had nothing but love for would hate me if they knew how I felt was so, so painful. I agree wholeheartedly with that Julia Serano quote. I don't even know what more I could add to it other than to say I feel that way too, 100%.
Logged back into this account expressly so I can thank you for your response. I went to sleep last night expecting to receive scorn for the way I felt and instead I woke up to such kind responses that I literally had to take a minute to compose my replies and wipe the tears away. If there were a term for preferring trans women that didn't have an association with abusive people I would proudly declare myself as that. I guess it must be abundantly clear how sincere my feelings are. That thing you said-
Is pretty much exactly how I feel. The way trans women express their gender genuinely does give me second-hand euphoria that cis people have never made me feel. There is something so incomparably beautiful about that to me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for what you said. I appreciate it more than most would ever know.
