*tear*

Ok, this is a silly post.

So lately, a lot of people I know have been like starting testosterone or therapy or something. It's got me all nostalgic! I remember when I was freaking out about my first shot. Or when I was nervous about chest surgery. Or when I was reading everything I could on transitioning. It's cute! Hah, I say this with complete respect and don't mean to demean anyone. Honestly. It's very encouraging to see more and more people stepping into the ring with you, regardless of where they go after they win their fight.

It is weird though (more for others than for me I'd assume) that I'm like 18 and the one people ask questions, hah. It's odd. And yet, although it may be like weird or annoying for other people, I've got to say it gives me a lot of... gratitude. Toward the people I had in my life who made it possible. You know, I believe it is more about the people surrounding you in a situation like this than you. Because even though you may really want it and really feel ready, this process relies on a lot of other people's approval, whether you agree with that or not.

Ok, now that I'm totally off track! I guess the point I'm trying to make is that I appreciate everyone who is deciding that they need to do this to better their lives. Because I know it's not easy. And I also know that whatever community we form, it's not always an accepting one. So I wanted to take a second and thank every future person who will come to identify in some way with transitioning or being trans or whatever it's called that week, hah.

Hm, guess it wasn't so silly. Well, I never said I don't lie!
