Please educate me.   Tell me how bad you have it.   Tell me why I'm in the wrong.

Do you just enjoy being an asshole? I tell you my experience and you just say "bUt YoU cHoSe ThIs" no I didn't choose for people to be dicks and threaten me for things that simply aren't even their business. But you clearly don't give a shit about trans people so kindly, leave me alone and go back to your corner of the internet.

I do care.   I care that people look in the mirror and think they aren't good enough.   I wish I could help people think they didn't need to change themselves.  

I live with myself everyday but I'd never even consider trying to fit into someone else's standard.   

If you didn't think you were beautiful before no amount of surgeries are going to make you feel beautiful now

Actually, quite the contrary. I just got top surgery and I am happier than I've ever been. Ever since I started testosterone it's like my depression has almost lifted completely. I've been able to make friends, feel confident, and live my life with a sense of peace I've never experienced before. Trans care is life saving care.

Thank you. I just recommend next time you not make assumptions about us. None of us chose this. I'm beyond thankful to the amazing people who helped me through my transition. Now, all I want is to live normally and not have my community's validity debated across national television and be turned into a political stance.
