  • It’s amazing to see how many of us are starting our journeys later in life. I’m in a similar boat, lived 30-odd years as a man and with the pushes that have happened, both positive and negative, figured out I was Genderfae. If it wasn’t for trans spaces and issues becoming more prominent, I don’t think I ever would have stopped thinking “There’s just something wrong with me”.

    May all our journeys end in happiness.

    Not even just natural disasters, either. I’ve seen people(across the 'net and, sadly, in person) lump Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama together like we all voted the exact same way, like it’s our faults that laws and restrictions get made.

    So many of us have fought, tried changing minds, voted in our own favor, fucking tried, and guess what we got? Told it’s our faults. Told by our “leaders” that we’re practically better off dead in their eyes. Watched them fight to make us as miserable as possible, every way they can, and have had to etch our own niches wherever we can.

    It’s absolutely demoralizing. People on both sides want to keep screaming you’re doing it wrong when all we’re trying to do at this point is fucking survive long enough to maybe get to smile once as ourselves before we die.





  • Because I have seen people in real life with this anxiety:

    99% of us in retail give no fucks. You’re one of the hundreds, if not thousands, of faces we might see in a day. Your purchasing habits, your kinks, your personality quirks, need to be super weird/memorable for you to even begin being recognizable.

    You making a thing out of it makes it stand out more than just letting it pass. You might get a smile or a giggle in the moment, but within 5 minutes you’re just some stranger who came through the line.
