I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE!!! My cousin recently came out and told me she's been taking e for two years now. I'm very happy for her. She also moved to Canada, so I'm kinda jelly too.

It also feels nice to not be the only transgender person in the family. Probably just internalized transphobia, but there being another makes me feel more "normal."

Less alone good

I feel bad for wanting to be the inspiration for someone I know to transition. I don't have any regrets doing so myself, but life is most definitely simpler if you're cis, so I want everyone I know to not have to go through any difficulty in their life.

I'm like 70% sure my brother is actually my sister.

I'm not the only trans person in my family. There are people in my family who've been out longer than I have. But I'm the only one who's name has percolated through the family gossip circles. I am the light I guess

A trans person who doesn't transition in any manner whatsoever, not even socially, is very likely to live a life less fulfilling than could otherwise be.

It's a lot of bother to transition, but its pros far outweigh its cons. Assuming you're trans in the first place, of course.

I was meaning I hope people around me don't need to transition because they aren't trans
