I love our community. Trans people and our allies are awesome. I definitely couldn’t survive without them. As an only child, I feel like yall are the siblings I never had. Even though we live far apart, we share so much.
Transitioning has taught me a lot about myself. I learned I am very strong, brave, gentle, compassionate. Maybe I’m not as bad looking as I always thought. I always assumed I was cold, logical, and distant. But it turns out once I overcome my social anxiety, I am warm, intuitive and touchy-feely, with deep and complex emotions, and a desire to help others feel better.
I love finally being comfortable shopping for clothes. I love being able to imagine myself with a given style, and then making it happen.
It’s like transitioning is a cheat code that has unlocked so much of myself that was hidden or dormant until now. Cis people can take these things for granted if they’ve always had them, but for me, it is brand new and wonderful.
