I hate that when you’re stressed enough your body just starts falling apart. I think it should realize you’re already stressed and don’t need that and start functioning better actually

cats will just treat you as terrain

i am making everything about being transgender because everything IS about being transgender

when you go out to eat while transgender, you have to consider which bathroom you will be allowed to use and whether that waitress will misgender you. when you sit on the train, you have to wonder if that person staring at you has clocked you or just wants to look at your bag keychain. when you look for clothes you have to go through employees trying to tell you, actually, these clothes are for women/men. you have to avoid stares from mothers who want you to die before stepping within eyesight of their children. you struggle looking in the mirror, you watch how and when you speak, every instance of your life is transgender when you're transgender and often it can be really bad. so i really want to try and emphasize how wonderful it is to be trans and that transness leads to a life worth living. because truly we need to remember this sometimes

i dont want people to just reblog this post only thinking about the bad things. you have to remember that these are not all side effects of being trans, they are side effects of living in a society that does not properly appreciate trans people. being trans is truly very beautiful, there is nothing that can match it. there is no feeling to replicate how it feels to hear someone say your name for the first time. there is nothing that can surpass how wonderful it is to try on clothing you've always wanted, or to see your friends beam and glow when they try on clothing they want. the most beautiful thing is making eye contact with someone in public and not saying anything, but knowing they're like you. being trans is perhaps the best thing ever and everything revolves around it
