    Relatable to feel sad going back to “normal” after a big queer celebration. Before I was really starting to come out it was especially bad because I would stuff all the girl stuff back into a box and put the boy stuff on and just feel awful about it.

    Mourning and grief is a fairly universal part of the trans experience. We mourn the time we spent in hiding, the wasted years, the people we lose because they can’t accept us, and the people we lose because they can’t accept themselves or couldn’t find acceptance in society. We might not be mourning the loss of our old selves, but the missed time with our new, liberated selves.

    Anyway I’m on hrt now and I can’t recommend it enough. Thanks for sharing sister.
