I have fuck all exposure to the trans community, but reading your posts is so enlightening.
Keep on, keeping on girl!!
Thanks for saying so. Nice.
Not all of us have such positive stories and my story should be shared. I got laughed at and "clocked" a bit moving around the city yesterday which is a bit annoying, but I keep telling myself, what others think of me is none of my business. Retaliation breeds further contempt and only shows sick uneducated arseholes what they expect to see. Moving in happiness and pride shows them their views mean nothing to me. Being visible shows people we're not going to live in the shadows fearing thier mockery. I've been called brave a lot, but not accepting my truth would have taken a bigger toll than any kind of transphobia may.
