Okay... one more installment of "How to Girl" before my hormoniversary tomorrow.
If you haven't seen these and wondering what the heck I'm talking about the five year mark of me starting hormone therapy is tomorrow. And I've been reflecting on some things I've learned on this ride.
From my cisters I’ve learned of The Girl Code. It’s unwritten although entries online would have you believe it is. It isn’t necessarily handed down but it is. You know it when you see it. There are some aspects that are vague and others that are as strong as if written on stone tablets.
These are some notable aspects for me.
— Women lift women up.
We encourage each other and inspire each other.
— Women take care of each other and look out for each other.
— Women don’t let a guy (or for the lebesians… a woman) get in the way of friendships.
These are just a few of the things that I've learned and I find it really affirming and special that I've had other women do some of these things for me.
