“It’s easy to assume”: someone’s misconception is about to be amiably corrected

My running theory around the “there was no build up to Jax being trans” conversation is that it boils down to existing knowledge of what pre-transition trans folks are like.

Jax's story is almost literally mine. I was never as cruel as Jax was, but I did actively avoid people and things that would have helped me, and I leaned into trying to be masculine and avoided anything feminine as much as I could. I was just as terrified of anyone seeing me be feminine and thus seeing me for what I am as Jax was. I also almost killed myself. I had a gun in my hand ready to do it, but I managed to pull myself away at the last minute with the thought "If Im gonna kill myself anyway, I might as well try transition. If it doesn't work or it's too hard then I'll just kill myself like I was planning to." And you know what, it did work. It has been the hardest thing I've ever done, but god hasit been worth it.
