Reading so many stories like this through my life, and now all this on top of that, is relying on the lived experience of transfems to make absolutely sure I never bother with it. I would love nothing more but I've already got too much to worry about. I don't need all this, too. I wouldn't survive it.

The way I see it, the rest of the world isn't particularly amenable to my survival anyway, might as well live as I want to.

My lived experience as a trans femme is that despite all of this stuff, I never started living until I started my transition. I’d rather live with that pain, than never have lived at all.
