    sorry you have to deal with that :( it sucks people can’t stop judging others for just existing as themselves, but i guess they also grew up in that repressive environment :/ sounds like you have a great supportive partner though.

      She is great, the best part of my life. She have me the space to explore myself, and accepted me as i was and am. I was a kid in the 80s and 90s not the best time for representation. I remember many years ago a friend calling me out for my own toxic views of trans people, and I think that was one of the first little movements toward being able to accept myself. And that’s the thing, im glad there is better representation now, and groups and allies that young people growing up like i did can find better models so that dont have to wait till middle age to figure themselves out.

        Hey never too late to reinvent yourself (or in this case be the self you already were), especially with good people around.

        Yeah for as bad as the younger generation has it in other ways, it’s really uplifting how radically accepting they are lol. Hopefully that changes the tide, the puritan boomers will be replaced with the super accepting youth :>
