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 knew that my options were to resent myself and die a repressed sad weirdo, or try to get back on my feet and undo the damage done to my body and mind.

I chose the latter option.

@Willow

I distinctly remember starting puberty and feeling deeply disturbed that I had a flat chest.

@Willow

My nervous system had the subconscious expectation that I would feminize during puberty instead of masculinizing.

My gonads had other plans

@Willow

I was fine before puberty. I didn't try to remove my genitals or anything.

@Willow before I knew what being trans really meant, being trans was my deepest, most shameful secret
