Thanks for your constantly kind words Stud. You bring me teary happiness every day! I look up to you. I don't think I do got it yet. I need help. Being strong and thinking for myself almost killed me with the last bender. Lucky a lot the stuff I did this year wasn't destructive. I'm like a child. I used to think it was great to never grow up. But I have a 2nd chance at puberty. This time I'm not going to stop developing as soon as I finish it.
Thanks again Stud. Recognising I'm trans was all about creating better outcomes, setting better boundaries, holding a mirror up to myself and my past and walking in my truth. Recognising I needed help and support despite being a capable person enough to be pretty self sufficient has been part and parcel of my transition. I feel pretty calm and centred, loved and valued at the same time. Allowing myself to be truly vunerable, completely raw and being open to the fact that I didn't have all the answers despite being quite independently successful should see me cruise. The fact that I've always been feminist and female motivated is nothing new though really, my brain just has the right hormomes now to actualise it a lot better than in the past. This is pride!!
Thanks Stud, I love you <3
