Guys I’m dumb😭 someone commented something very sweet about how the last thing I said, stuck w them and they needed to hear it bc finding love as a trans person is hard… I replied to it and said “ this made my heart happy I appreciate you so much and I’m glad u found comfort in the vid. Don’t give up💚” but I put the wrong emoji and went to redo my reply but deleted the whole fricking comment. IM SORRY. WHOEVER YOU ARE, WHEREVER YOU ARE THANK YOU I LOVE YOU AND IM SORRY. 💚💚

I always say "don't set yourself on fire to keep sombody else warm". It really helped me to stop people pleasing.

So true as a trans woman I can definitely relate, to being concerned with choosing a name for the ease of my family who unfortunately still continues to misgender or dead name me, and because of that, I was so concerned that I told myself to making sure that my name at the very least had the same first letter in the name so it'll be much more easier for them to not forget, it's been years later they still don't make an effort, even after multiple times of me requesting otherwise 😔. So yeah screw with other people have to think of that, I'm choosing another name that fits me more I'm going to stop caring with other people think of it❤❤❤

I'll be 5 yrs on T on the 24th. :3 Also My mom helped me pick a name, my name is unisex but I still hate my past name.

one of the things that gets under my skin is that every single lgbtq space i can find is 18+, i am 17- im almost there- and usually i might lie, but in the case of the HRTea discord server i really dont want to- but i cant find any groups- i found an in person support group that didn't say anything about being 18 plus, but when they found out i wasnt 18 they kicked me out...

Ah, more research for the book im writing. I'm enby writing two trans characters. A trans man and a trans girl. (She's eleven. She's not a woman.)

Oh this is so going to help me develop James as a character. I have several trans women friends but no trans men friends so he has been difficult to flesh out.
