“Being a transgender woman in the world can be challenging at best and deadly at its worst, so you know it’s not a life change that you go into for any other reason but absolute necessity.” -Amy Ray on Laura Jane Grace

I really find this take annoying, perhaps because it is such a widely held belief. While transition has proven to be one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life, I don’t relate to this characterization. I know it’s true for some people, and I am glad they find it works for them, but this kind of universal narrative is the type of thing that delays transition for people.

I didn’t wait until the pain was unbearable to do it, all I waited for was understanding what I was experiencing.

There’s something really dark though that says one can only transition as a last resort, and I just never saw it that way. When I realized I was trans I saw the opportunity for happiness and I chose it, I actively chose it. It was and is not something I backed into.

Debian but it's called lesbian and it's maintained by a lesbian polycule.
