@quephird@mastodon.social again, you're looking at this as immutable. as fate and destiny that cannot be changed.
and honestly, by complaining about it on mastodon, you're also making it everyone else's problem but yours.
do you really think you're the only trans person who's struggled with transitioning? or the only one who has transitioned later in life? or the only one who felt gross due to dysphoria? or the only one who kept being accidentally creepy?
fact is, this is shit you can work on. /shrug
@quephird@mastodon.social the work isn't going to be pleasant, or easy, but it is worthwhile. and it's not something other people can do *for* you, it's something you must do yourself.
but step one is realizing it's work within your power to do, and not just "i am a monster whom nobody could ever love". go tell that voice of self-hatred that it is wrong, pick up some DBT self-help, read about trans people who wonderfully transitioned late in life, order a pretty dress tailored to you, and get in there to work.
