Hey, if you are #trans and began transitioning in the 2016 - 2019 era, can you reply and let me know!
There are apparently way more of us here than I realized, and I would like to be closer friends with those that remember the before times and trans twitter and the discourses and the excitement before we all got burnt the fuck out. 😅
@eri no, i am talking about when i was in my 30s and a grown ass adult who had already begun her transition. And it’s not actually yearning or nostalgia, more wanting to connect with people that went through similar experiences and have some shared reference points that those transitioning after the pandemic began largely don’t share.
It’s like how it’s nice to spend time with people your own age as you get older. That’s all.
Why the assumption that I was a child? And I think it’s also not a bad thing to have some fondness for a time before my community’s existence was once more being made illegal and facing active attempts to genocide. Just saying.
