Happy Pride! At Henrietta (NY) Pride this evening.

I don't want to say ALL of us trans folks here - I can't speak for everyone - but a good number of us have rough days. Days when the dysphoria rages. Days when imposter syndrome sets in. Days when we doubt everything - doubt we pass, doubt we look good, doubt we'll ever transition like we need.

To that, I must reply:

You are not alone.

You are loved.

You are valid.

You are incredible.

You are beautiful.

You are.

Against all odds and struggles, you are.

And that is an absolute miracle.

@JaedaCalaway @Terra oh, my heavens, this. Men stink - in the most literal way. Occasionally post-HRT I would encounter something with my old scent - usually cycling gear or the like - and have to stop for a moment in shock and amazement.
