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.

Trans folks, if you are so inclined, please feel free to share your story.
@Willow I had no awareness of trans people until I was in my 30s. Being genderfluid minimized the dysphoria and trauma for me in some ways, but I still experienced a lot of bullying and being made to feel like I had no place in society. I leaned into what was hopefully a fairly healthy version of masculinity for a while, but eventually, when I felt safe and in control of my life, and had been in therapy for a while, all the suppressed femininity came out in a rush.
