how alone I was among these people,

• who have been degendered because of ableism

• who have been on the receiving end of medical ableism because of their gender or agab

• whose transition goals look different because of disability

• whose neurodivergency affects the way they experience gender or a lack of it

• who have to hide their transness or disability

• who can't hide their transness or disability

• whose transness or disability has been denied because surely one person can't deal with two things at once (sarcasm)

• whose gender expression and transition is dependent on a caregiver or health team

• who can't afford to transition because ableism prevents a decent income

• who didn't realize they were trans

• who didn't realize they were disabled

• who are reading this
