    They don’t want you to know this, but you can become a woman through the wonders of medical science.

      The thought has crossed my mind a few times through the years. I guess transphobia and such bigotry is one of the few things I wish didn’t exist when growing up during the 90’s. I’ve often felt uneasy and uncomfortable in situations where I was required to “act like a man”, but I never had the guts to protest.

        It’s never too late to start, though, with the current political trends in the USA, it may not be prescient to continued survival.

          I was JUST closing my eyes, drifting away, imagining a world without gender and sexuality related boundaries. And POP you popped my bubble. D: No hard feelings though. :D

            I’m sorry, it’s just the tragic and unfortunate state of the world. Would be nice if people stopped fighting over it though.

            I won’t make any false promises and tell you it’ll be easy, but you can be a woman. It’s never too late to consider transition, and despite all the evil in the world there will be many more people who will support and cherish you.

                I transitioned at 40. Easily the best decision I’ve ever made. It’s never too late. Happy to answer anything you might wonder.

            Hey if you decide to start now you won’t be alone. I only started hormones like 6 months ago so I’m going to be in my visibly trans phase during all of whatever crazy shit is about to happen. The crazy shit is going to happen anyway, might as well get on the road to being the real me.
