Somewhere Between Happy and a Total Fucking Wreck

These stunning photos capture just how exhausting micro aggressions can be 

Janae Marie Kroc, a world-renowned bodybuilder, powerlifter and trainer who was formerly known as Matt Kroc, has come out as trans and genderfluid.

She used female pronouns to refer to herself in an open letter about her transition, and stated that she is both “hyper-masculine and hyper-feminine.” About three weeks ago, she tagged an Instagram photo of herself with the words “#transgender,” “#genderfluid,” “#mtf,” “#nonbinary” and “#girlslikeus.” 

Kroc told her fans via Instagram and in a subsequent statement to a bodybuilding website that she considers herself an “Alpha male/girly girl Lesbian in a male body” and that she is single. […]

Some fans were in disbelief, thinking her transition was a joke, despite reports on GayStarNews,Headlines and Global News, and other sites. So Kroc wrote a second online statement to dispel any lingering doubts:

“First, yes this is really me and yes I am transgender. Second, one does not ‘become’ transgender, you are or you aren’t. I have known this since I was five years old and it has been a very heavy burden to carry.

“I never asked for nor did I want this. For most of my life I would have given anything to not feel the way I do and at one point it drove me to consider suicide. Now I am perfectly comfortable with who I am and have been very open about this for many years.”

This is what goes through my mind every time I chop down a tree in GW2…
