okay there's a lot of transphobia talk on my TL so I'm gonna say this: the worst part of being trans are the transphobes & dysphoria. (& I'd argue the latter is worsened by the former.)
the best part is everything else.
I love being trans.

I love being trans.
some trans joy:
gender euphoria. it's SO awesome to feel utterly amazing when people see you. when you see yourself—truly yourself. when clothes fit who you are. when your body starts to feel *yours* and you realize you can actually love it.


but it has been the COOLEST thing to listen to my voice drop. to watch my body finally form muscles I struggled to get for years. to get some stubble.



it's so so nice to be able to enjoy who I am.
being trans has taught me to be resilient. to trust myself. to not make assumptions about others. it's taught me I can do whatever I want with my life. I get to be whoever I want to be—& I don't have to compromise. & it's shown me who are the people in my life I can really trust.
being trans has brought so much joy, and goodness, and love into my life. I made me own path, even though it scared me, and I'm grateful every single day that I did.
