seen a sentiment from a few people now expressing or implying a desire to transition but feeling unable due to the current political climate. while fear of the future is completely reasonable, waiting for a "good time to transition" will waste your life. it will never not feel scary at first

I thought like two years ago “I have to go on T or else I’ll die” and then I was “waiting for the election” but then I was like fuck it and just got my prescription 😊

My (trans) wife is the bravest person I know. Every day she moves in beauty through the world—a walking affirmation of her truth—despite the hostility directed at her. I fear for her safety (the hostility has gotten worse) but she refuses not to be who she is. She is my hero.

I feel like there's a force pushing me forward now. Been in limbo for too long so I decided I'm just going telling everyone. It's too much work hiding it my kid calls me dad!

I'd been on hormones for over a year but still wasn't out to a lot of people in November for the election-- I came out to almost everyone within that week

Death before detransition is the way 🏳️‍⚧️

The bigger thing is: if I hadnt had the huge massive dissociation and depression lifted I dont know if Ive have survived what happened or whats coming as all my loved ones would be in danger. Transition is giving me the mental fortitude to live through this.

Came out everywhere June 28, 2024. Thought then "this is gonna be hard."

Every step of the way the community has helped

Jan 20 put a fire under me. I need to help people. For that, I'm going back to school to study clinical psychotherapy

I put my plans for early 2017 on pause after he won in 2016. I’d wanted to come out with a woman in the Oval Office. I spent that winter and spring in a deep funk.

“Fuck that shit,” I finally said, and I came out that fall.

Yes. What you said. Yes.

After faffing around for years/decades, I’ve had enough. I’m planning my coming out at work, and I have an appointment to officially change my name and gender marker. Bugger them, I’m taking a stand.

Hell yeah! One more for the barricades!
