I hope that time and tide will bring you to a more hopeful place. I believe there are enough of us wanting to live in a world that would let you be yourself, that we can drag ourselves out of this bleakness. Hold onto hope if you can, and read us some wonderful tales to pass the time (please).
Iβm good at hugs and terrible at words but wanted you to know that you are wonderful and a truly bright light in these dark times. Donβt give up π π«π«π«
You voiced a lot of feelings and anxieties in this thread that I deeply relate to. I donβt really have any idea how to help either of us but I just want you to know that youβre not alone in this, and you are loved and appreciated and respected for who you are in this space. π«β€οΈ
π«π«π« oh sweet person who I don't know but feel close to because of this shared story that we appreciate and these strange genders we inhabit, I don't know how to offer hope, but I can offer love.
You were always yourself and you'll always be just that. The world is in a scary and painful state of affairs right now. We had a taste of "what if it weren't like this?" and I'm hopeful that we will get it back again.
I wish I had the right words to comfort you somehow, bc it's such a hard place to be at. No one truly knows how things will be in 5 years, so all we can do is try to achieve what makes us feel better right now, I guess. You have a little corner with the fandom that hopefully sees you as you <3 π«
π«π«π« I hate that the world is like this, but I think giving up would be harder. Some things can't be un-known, can they? Sending you so much love.
π«Itβs so hard not knowing what will happen next, so whenever I can I find little bits of joy and hold onto it. Your stories are some of that joy. We see you and we value you as you are right now and we will wait with you to get to the next step. β₯οΈ
Biggest love, friend π« I hate that things are like this and I can imagine how awfully hard it must be right now. Youβre loved just as you are by all of us, and nobody else gets to decide who you are, no matter how much noise they make about it β€οΈβ€οΈ
Sending you so much love π«π« You're right, things are big and scary right now, but don't let the bastards get you down. You deserve to live your truth, and we'll always be here to support you ππ
π«π«π«π« Every single step you've made is a step towards your true self, which is courageous as fuck π It's a hard trek in these current times, but it'll be worth it in the end. I follow a bunch of trans men on TT who didn't start until their 60s & 70s and they really inspire me x
It is so fucking hard though and I absolutely feel you on the grief of what feels like wasted time, and the uncertainty of what tomorrow might look like π«
Aww so sorry and sending hugs and best wishes that things improve. I too also realised my identity (as NB) thanks to ofmd (although I think I kinda knew in a way) π₯°π«π«
