I'm A Real Boy, Thank You Very Much

Constantly forgetting you’re trans

Thinking you look like your birth gender and being surprised that you pass

Being on T and not passing until you talk

Wondering why you’re the one trans person out of all 200 of the people sitting in this lecture hall

Not correcting pronouns because why bother, you’ve already told them 20 times

Being called a girl by family when you’re 4 years on T and have a full beard

Sorry for all the negatives here’s some positive ones:

Finally passing and feeling amazing

Having that one euphoric moment that just makes your whole week seem great

Finally getting that one thing done whether it be top surgery or bottom surgery or a name change that you’ve been wanting for years

Realizing how far you’re getting from the starting line and how close you’re getting to the goal

Having someone you thought was going to be a problem be completely accepting
