coming out wasnt an option for me in high school even when surrounded with folks and orgs who ‘understood transness’, blame the discomfort on bigotry but for me it was all about the $$$, transitioning as i understood it meant new clothes and hormones and investing limited resources into something with little to no return at best horrible miss-investment at the median and death at worst, i had just about put off starting last october due to the burden and looking back at 6 months ive left a job started a new one worked on some projects and simultaneously dealt with the pressure on my body swerving in and out of interactions with capitol and validity. when im merchandise it makes it a hell of a lot easier to forgo doing things that make me healthy, to discount my livability in an effort to justify it, heres to another year of combating that. honor to the to the past contemporary and future contenders #tdov
