Most trans people say transitioning made them feel more satisfied in their lives,, even though many lost friends or family after they come out.
Most trans people have a story — the moment they knew, the person who lit the way. Transitioning is always a journey, sometimes marked by medical interventions, often not. While most trans people say transitioningMy experience as a kid just felt very, like, hidden. I never remember a time where I didn’t have hidden clothing in my closet or under my bed.
Every day , I walk out of my house and I look visibly trans, which I am happy to do. I feel like I am exposing people to a trans identity that they might not be used to seeing. And there’s power in that. A lot of the discrimination happened at the beginning when I wasn’t as passable. I still face it now, but a lot of it comes more online than in person. Where it was physical for me was those beginning stages where I could be easily clocked, when I didn’t know how to do certain things to feminize myself.
I’ve always known I was different. When she was murdered, it really put it in perspective, like, I need to keep hiding. I’m not going to be able to do it. She passed in April of 2019. The following year, Murph, the person who introduced me to nonbinary, passed. And that broke me. I felt like, “If I don’t live now, it’s never going to happen.”
I think by the time I was a grown adult, there was one thin softcover booklet about transsexuals, and I read that, but there was nothing else available. There were no other trans people to connect with. Well, there were, but you didn’t know how to reach them.
