Like I had no idea Elagabalus was a trans woman or that there was a famous trans soldier in the American civil war why did I never learn about stuff like this https://redd.it/oqoud0
I have a few reflections and advice on the 5-year anniversary of coming out as transgender:
1. The best piece of advice I got: "Your transition belongs to you." There are no true rules in this. You don't even have to transition, and you certainly don't have to transition to anything established, or understandable to anyone else.
There are no objective body schedules or social milestones. You are free to make up WHATEVER you want. And you are free to push for your standards to be respected and assisted. Transition belongs to you.
Outside of hard-and-fast medical numbers and safety guidelines (real physical safety, not gatekeeping bullshit), you'll encounter invisible rails attempting to direct your experience. It's alright to oppose this, and to call them out. But the core of your experience is your own, and that can't be taken away.

Boosts very okay
@trysdyn Looking cute in a shiny villainess outfit is important, but if you’re not fighting against mainstream society for radical change then the outfit’s really just for show.
Good thing it isn’t. :3
@trysdyn I mean, there’s a “read more” button (at least on web-Mastodon and my mobile client of choice), so it would be easy to skip over it if I wasn’t interested.
Not that I want to skip over it, because what you have to say is good and important. :3
@kat *pet pet* :3
@quirk Good aftfurnoon! ^^
@deejvalen Ooh, neat! I've never watched that before, but I'll have to tune in. ^^

@DarkWitchClaire @behold3r Or you could get a CD-i player, which also lets you play back exciting interactive CDs like Compton's Interactive Encyclopedia and The Wacky World of Miniature Golf with Eugene Levy
