Yes transition is great, it saved my life, etc etc, but doing so publicly kind of feels like having a psychic open wound like all the time. It’s still great just hard because of The Wound. Transfemininity has pulled me into this world of ritualized public humiliation that I pretend doesn’t exist lest i get distracted from, like, homework and stuff. Though of course i am lucky & i have friends and family and a roof to live under & a loving relationship & i am doing what i love. The curses are numerous but so are the blessings so every day i get up in the morning and try again. although my family doesn’t celebrate lunar new year im always looking for the excuse to celebrate new beginnings. I wouldn’t trade this life for anything. happy new year 🐍🎇✨
