Here’s the thing you need to know about people who transitioned as adults: their transition is probably a truly epic saga. They might be the most basic person ever, and they might not tell you their story, but it’s there.

Maybe it’s about the extremes they reached running from their dysphoria. Maybe it’s an intricate web of relationships and pain and sorrow. Maybe it’s an internal tale of descending into themselves to battle daemons that society itself cursed them with.

Transition is wild, yo.

I didn't know "transgender" existed until I was 30. My egg didn't fully crack for another five years.

For me, I had to do some weapons-grade introspection just to admit to myself that I was trans even though it checked every box and explained all the shit I'd been through and almost every uncomfortable thought I'd ever had.

I was like, "is there something you can give me to make it go away?"

"Yes, HRT."
