Lovely Vivian, I’ve been around the block a few times. And one thing I can tell you with utter confidence is that people’s expectations have feck all to do with you. Be true to yourself and hold your head high.
You are not:
"We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist.” (Attributed to James Baldwin, but actually Robert Jones Jr., writing as @sonofbaldwin*)
their whole issue with being trans is entirely on spiritual grounds. well that and the fact we spit in the face of established power structures and bio-essentialism
I'm so tired of these people expecting US to be polite to them while they're being repulsive human beings. It's much easier to say, "Fuck you" and walk away. I'm saying that as a senior citizen raised to be polite to everyone.
Don't be cordial with those people. Be your true self. You're awesome.

You’re a diamond, not a doormat.

Speak only your truth.
You are beautiful and I love that you exist.
Avoid negativity.
That shit will kill your lovely spirit.
