i just think i could benefit from a healthier transgender life actually. no more talking pain and suffering and death all the time. lets talk about what being comfortable with who you are brings instead. catharsis is healthy but so is having fun and healing and remembering and being lightness etc etc i could go on and on but for brevity’s sake being transgender saved my life!!!! if i did not accept that part of myself i would not be here anymore. here i am!!! it was hard!! here i am!!!

and i love my gender because “i asked god to send me a swordsman and he said look at your hands” etc etc look this is not the post for heroics or half remembered quotes whose author name i will later find and paste here: (Melissa Broder) but what it is about is gender euphoria. don’t let anyone tell you being transgender is the end of your life, to me it felt like the beginning, like i’d freaking woke up for the first time and noticed how sunbeams fell through the open window, cool fresh air. a beautiful new day just beginning to bloom before my very eyes.
