A user named Nissa, some hours ago, posted the link to this essay as a part of a comment, in this very community.

When I read it, it really fucking resonated with me, and I thought that it really deserved to be its own post in this community.

Nissa (or anyone else), do tell me if you, for any reason, want me to take down this post.

    I like to use "goddess look" instead of the other terms. Plenty of really cute trans women are visibly trans.

    In British slang, if you called someone a brick, you meant a solid, dependable person. If you go onto Google Books and search for "You're a brick", you'll find lots of examples, applied to men and women.

    It comes from someone asking where the walls of Sparta were, and Lycurgus pointing at the army, saying "Behold the walls of Sparta, every man a brick".

    I really enjoyed this. I fully expect to be clocky for the rest of my life but I'm not letting that stop me. The thought that I might die a man is scarier than any version of "people think I'm ugly". I thought I was an ugly man anyway.

    This was a great read and I really needed it right now. I'm a brick and that's okay, I'm beautiful in my own way. I'll find a lipstick that compliments my mustache!
