I think a lot of us are more protective in person

Hope you get the chance soon, Sis.

I hope things get better for you, I know how difficult knowing but having to avoid certain things out of safety is.

I was out online but not irl or doing anything about it from the time I was a sophmore in highschool to the time I was a junior in college. dont worry aabout. everyone transitions at their own pace <3 love your art btw

I'm nearly 22 it feels a bit miserable atp 😭 I genuinely need the housing market here to crash and ASAP for my own sanity

youryanderegf.bsky.social•105 days ago

I didnt start transitioning until I was 26 its ok. you have plenty of time!

rebornacreature.bsky.social•105 days ago

Hey I started at 25 it's okay you gotta stay safe before anything else

I didn’t start fully socially transitioning till I left home and moved in with my gf’s much more accepting parents, because step dad made himself VERY clear about how he felt regarding trans people…

Still happier than I’ve ever been in my life since I managed to start though.

there will always be time. you will get older but the time would pass anyway

I'm in the same boat, it sucks but it beats the alternative

qaptainslander.bsky.social•105 days ago

Make this post a T shirt, that would be a funny way to do it.

snowbearypie.bsky.social•105 days ago

I'm the same exact way. But I'm taking it step by step (very slowly). It's very scary though

ekd.sc•105 days ago

despite having directly contributed to heaps of people coming out themselves and going through the process of transitioning (that i know of! there's probs more) i haven't done that for myself and i do feel a bit like a false idol sometimes. I don't talk about my own experiences that much cuz of it

Honestly I'm more inspired by people who for whatever reason don't or can't come out.

Online I'm more open about being NB but with irl friends + family I don't say anything because I feel awkward drawing specific attention to it-

I hope you can move out sooner than later and transition in peace ❤

i do have a few amazing close irl friends who know and keep it on the downlow, but I'm currently stuck living with my parents (despite having a decent paying full-time job the economy is in shambles lol) and they've made it clear they'd react pretty negatively to if i were to come out... it sucks

ekd.sc•105 days ago

I'm privileged in having a stable place to stay but it really is almost suffocating to have to prioritise that over my own identity. It feels like I live a double life lie, lol.

All I can hope is my art inspires other trans ppl and makes them happy, especially those too still locked in the closet
