so many times i had to explain to people (and i am not out that long), that coming out as trans doesnt start a crisis. it end's one. (as long as ppl leave you alone.)

    They don’t see the years of internal turmoil that comes with dysphoria, so it seems “new” to them, I guess.

    Every single trans person I’ve known was so much happier and more vibrant once they came out and could live more truly as themselves, though. It’s not a coincidence.

    i'd say its not only that they don't know how i felt before. it's "the inherent tragedy of trans identities" that ppl learned from different media: every day a fight, everything precarious ... wIlL aNyOnE eVeR lOvE tHeM?

    i'd answer: "sir, this is a wendy's."

    See that narrative does strike a chord. My life is externally very difficult because I'm trans. But I didn't get an easy and happy option, my choices were to face all that and do my best to build a happy life anyways or to live in misery tortured by the threat of it.
