🏳️⚧️EVER nerve in my body screams "DO NOT post that" but due to the severity of the current situation trans individuals are facing right now especially the youth; THE NEXT GENERATION, has been weighing heavy on my mind. I've been constantly stuck with the thought of "how can I feel visible when they're so determined and dedicated to erasing our existence entirely?"
I've never in all the years since I have socially began my transition in 2013 have posted pictures of myself presenting in any feminine way because it literally destroys my brain due to the horrible levels of dysphoria I feel on a day to day basis. I don't WANT to be trans; but I am. It took me a LONG time to accept myself and I won't lie there are still moments where the weight of self acceptance can feel crushing at times due to societal pressures but I will not fold. There are way too many youths out there. Their online searching up hashtag to lead to others page for insight. Feeling trapped and alone in the angst that so many of us feel and have felt; feeling like they are anything but normal and all they seek is guidance and acceptance. So as scary as it may be for me to post I hope that by me being visible helps someone else. Here goes nothing. 🏳️⚧️
