Nowhere GirlExistentialism can get you through a few depressing Sunday afternoons but if you're trans, it's like taking aspirin to deal with having your legs blown off.
I hate being trans. I'm glad if you like it. But I hate it.
timberwraith@gwynnion Well, I certainly wouldn't put it in my top 10 favorite life options, I can tell you that much.
@gwynnion I just got back from doing a run for takeout here at work and as I pulled up to the drive-thru for my americano at the local coffee shop, a (cis) woman in her 20s opened the window to wait on me.
Just in that brief moment's time, I felt this piercing flash of deep yearning and envy for a life I didn't have.
That happens somewhat regularly.
I wouldn't have chosen this, given other options. It just happened to me and I've spent decades learning how to survive it.
