Realising that one of the reasons I stopped being a werewolf were mostly due to internalised transphobia has been a big revelation for me.
(The other reason was due to a pretty toxic person, here in the UK, that I am thankfully no longer in contact with)
I'm a trans werewolf woman and I am proud!! 💜🐺🌕🏳️⚧️ΘΔ
@renbymon Are werewolves transphobic? I don't see that.
@avon_deer Apologies; the term "internalised transphobia" means your own personal transphobia against yourself.
I stopped being a werewolf because of my own prejudices, self-hate, belief that the womanly feelings that I had were wrong, and because that's entwined with/part of my werewolf feelings I had convinced myself that I wasn't who I was.
Basically Section 28 destroyed my ability to be myself for over two decades.
@renbymon Oh I see now. I am glad you've been able to get past that.

@avon_deer thank you <3
Honestly without the visibility of other trans girls I don't think I would have realised it and probably would have continued the self-hate and denial.
If Section 28 hadn't been a thing and I'd actually had some education in school then I would have been pursuing my transition a lot earlier; like in the early 2000s.
In hindsight I'm pretty sure that someone, who we both know, knew back then that I'm trans.
