I'm sitting at the airport people watching and feeling the same discomfort with my body and appearance that I've always felt, and I wonder how many women don't feel like that and what it's like.

Its exhausting and honestly makes me want to not be alive a lot of the time.

Edit: All my t-girl homies spotting the dysphoria right away 😅, I didn't really want this to be about my dysphoria I guess, but well spotted.

Chiming in on team self-determination: Transitioning was an S tier life decision and has been fantastically helpful.

You don't need to keep the form you were issued, if it doesn't fit. I'd advise thinking about what would feel like a good mecha for your soul to be piloting.

    Some things cannot be fixed unfortunately, I've tried.

    At some point I have to stop putting my life on hold in an effort to save money to change it.

    For now, at least. Never know what the future brings.

    That said, "What cannot be cured, must be endured." is not just catchy. Life is definitely what is happening to you on an ongoing basis rather than something you get to, and that's a lesson we're still working on here.

    If you need someone to talk to, we are around.
