I was vulnerable, weird, a late bloomer, & had no hobbies or activities outside of #transcult social media. Everything I read I believed. It was like all my critical thinking faculties disappeared overnight. Nobody there truly wants you to be happy - crabs in a bucket.

There was no room for dissenting opinions of any sort. I was censoring myself SO carefully every time I spoke. I am still to this day re-learning to disagree, to debate, to stick up for my opinions - to know I am allowed to form opinions myself!

I wasted YEARS on this nonsense. There are many people I hope I never meet again b/c I am ashamed of the me that they knew, I want them to forget I ever even existed (dramatic as that sounds). I am finally pretty much my own person again. But what a fucking mither.

To add: I changed my name, too. I got my documents changed, at a certain amount of expense. It's a nice enough name, but undeniably masculine, and I have to live with it now. Sometimes I really miss my birth name, but here we are.

For many women, trans is just another form of being the token woman, provisionally let into the boys club. And therefore not subject to the derision constantly rained down on women's heads.pic.twitter.com/2mPKW99Yr9

I felt something of that myself. "If we do this, we will be safe, because we won't be like the others, the weak ones". What a cracking poem. Thank you for showing me this.
