I need mentally ill trans girls out there to know they're loved, I need physically disabled trans girls out there to know they're loved. I know every day can feel like you're a burden and terrible, but you're loved and wanted, you are not a burden and even if you were we want to carry that burden.

I hope you find your way back to yourself. to the version of you that you miss, to a version of you that you recognize and identify with. I hope you meet happy again.

all your stuffed animals love you. they're not sad if they're in a box, or on the floor, or not held/played with as much. they understand. they know that you might need another stuffie more, or that you don't have enough space. they're just happy to be with you, and if you ever give them away, they'll be happy there too. stuffies are for comfort. they understand. they love you too. it's okay.

i saw a post where someone mentioned "a trans guy still wearing panties instead of boxers" and it made me feel like wearing "women's" underwear as a trans man is something kind of embarrassing that only "baby trans guys" do. so here's to all the trans men and trans masculine people who wear underwear from the women's section: it really doesn't matter. it's not embarrassing, it's not unmanly, it's not shameful and it doesn't mean that you're doing transmasculinity wrong. i've never worn underwear from the men's section but i assume the textile would be loose in the front to accommodate something i don't have, right? i feel like that could be potentially uncomfortable for me. feel free to add your thoughts and experiences, i'm interested in hearing them. but at the end of the day, it really doesn't matter what you wear. you should feel comfortable and good about yourself, and that's all that matters. don't let anyone make you feel ashamed for this.

If you were only ever taught self-accountability through scolding and shame, I hope you are able to learn that there is another way. That you can be gentle with yourself even as you take stock of your own mistakes. That you don't owe it to anyone to self-flagellate, that it doesn't help anyone, that you don't deserve it. Looking back at your mistakes is a journey. It is learning, it is seeing, and it can be healing and softness and trying again, as many times as you need. I hope you find that for yourself.

the world will stop being out to get you when you stop thinking that it is. do not let this go over your head.
