I'm not saying there isn't some value in holding back at certain points but also I've never stopped being thankful for my trans dude friend saying "Dude you're trans" prompting me to say "Yeah I know" reflexively stopping me from going into another months long cycle of denial > dysphoria > denial
random thought: i've expressed my distaste for the egg prime directive and for the term "valid" before, but part of it is that there are a lot of trans people struggling with their gender who need a little nudge instead of either wallowing in solitude or having their cope validated, so it angers me.
