So there's this thing about #SecondCivilWarLetters going around and what I see are a bunch of glib white people mocking white suburbia, so let me post some of my Second Civil War letter, one I actually wrote shortly before I was surrounded by 300 men with torches and gassed.

I've been trying to write my legacy so that my story lives on if I don't. And the hardest, but most important legacy to leave has been about love.

Christine has been the jewel of my life, and I owe to her a thousand times over a thousand times the love she has given me. I want to get through tomorrow to spend a long life together, crafting new tales, finding new adventures.

She has been patient with me through transition. Transition is a very self-centered process. It is a process of rediscovery.

The toll it takes on a relationship is not necessarily one of gender or sexuality or perception, but how a person who was able to give to others must now give to themselves to become whole.

I thought about writing letters to [my loved ones] in case I don't make it. About what they meant to me. But something I learned from those relationships is that it's so much better to speak what you feel, to live without regrets.

And I think I want that to be my legacy. That though imperfect, I tried to love perfectly.

Don't bid me caution, because safety is not my choice to make. Don't bid me luck, because I must rely on skill. I walk in tomorrow to face off people who have told me they want me dead...
