this idea helped me a lot. i waited until things "got better" for a number of years. all it did was make me wish i hadn't waited. when i finally did it, part of my reason was "fuck it, there's never going to BE a good time."

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 think a big part of that would be that many of us just understand the dangers at this point. like, i didn't talk about the danger here because i live it. i assume others know, too. and for me, it was, "this is terrifying. i have to do it."
maybe others relate. hard to be sure
the fallout from that moment revived me.
the real, genuine me.
the girl peeking out from behind the mirror.
so, for me in a very real sense, who i was is long gone.
still me tho.
