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.
@Willow I've learned so, *so* much by just leaning into the other queer folks around me and listening to their stories.
I think when I first started listening to these stories in earnest, I was looking for common threads with my own story — a way to relate. These days, I'm listening in the same way I listen to music, or look at a sculpture; it's more about appreciating the beauty and fullness that comes with all of these stories, despite their differences. And like other sorts of art, they inevitably end up teaching me something about myself and my perception of the world.
