I didn’t get to say everything within the time limit of tik tok, so if you care enough, read here: This hate has been the worst, I’ve already said that, and I’ve definitely gotten over it and realized just how sad and hateful these people truly are, and how little they deserve my attention. That’s not to say I can’t feel hurt by what they say. I can, and that does still hurt me, but every day it hurts less and less. However, I have also received so much support. SO MUCH. It sucks because I can’t put together the right words to accurately explain how much it means to me. I have gotten support from so many of you, and all of the things you’ve said… it just warms my entire soul. It makes me feel comfortable in my own skin, it makes me feel welcomed, it brings me such joy and love. Every single one of you that has said even just “congrats” in passing, you mean so much to me. Seriously. It is unreal. The love I feel from all of you. You help me get through this. Thank you so so so much. I am by NO MEANS done documenting my transition on this app. I will keep doing it until I feel I’ve done all I can. I want to share my experience to show people that this is normal, and to encourage those who may be afraid of speaking out about who they are, to do so. Talking about it also helps ME get through this process. It makes my thoughts tangible, it gives them color and shape and weight, and makes it easier for me to understand them and not be as afraid or uncertain of them. I will not stop showing who I am. I’ve only just begun. <3
