This Transgender Day of Visibility, it is remarkably easy to want to talk about how hard things are, especially this week and all its horrors.
But no.
Transitioning was the best gift I ever gave myself, and I’m going to take this moment to celebrate it. #tdov2023
I’m one of those “classic” stories, I suppose. Had a strong inkling I was trans at age 3, knew the words by 10 or so (in the 1970s!). Transitioned in my 20s.
I’m now 55, and have lived as can openly trans woman for more years than I haven’t. Life… well, it’s good. #TDOV2023
