I transitioned in my early 30s and the in the first conversation with my doctor he said "well I& #39;m surprised you would even bother now". The idea always is to deny transition to kids and then if they make it through, turn that struggle into a virtue worth holding on to

as an adult I am told that I waited this long, why not wait longer. Or the questions I got from family: you built this whole life, why throw it away now? Never was it, you constructed a shell narrative to survive and how can we help you take it down?

people love to keep the gates intact and then ask if you don& #39;t just want to go back once they& #39;re in the rearview. The logic of make trans kids wait until they& #39;re adults when you can make a rational decision doesn& #39;t matter when you just rewrite your discrediting tactics for adults

like, even now, years after I came out, when I talk to some of the people closest to me about upcoming surgeries, they ask me why. Why don& #39;t I just wait? Really make sure? You waited this long. If you turn waiting into a long con then you never have to improve or change.

anyway, surprise, all the arguing with guys that have cartoons of how they see themselves for avatars has put me in my feels.
