I love sleeping, honk-shoo is so goated.
As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.
Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

Everything comes with time. It took me a very long time to tell anyone, and even longer to come out fully. You dont have to do it all at once, you can do it as you need and want to. I know its a lot. Its so much, especially at first. It shakes the pillars and sometimes feels like the roof will collapse on us. Its ok to be overwhelmed, and scared, and full of joy and fear and every single emotion under the sun.
I'm also really really happy in a way I've never felt before. And crying again. ππ
<3 im so glad youre feeling joy like that! It is so important to hold on to queer and trans joy, the joy of existing. Im happy youre here
Its ok, a lot of people didnt know. The world kept us from ourselves. I have felt like a failure of a human for a very long time, and still do in many ways (ive been lowkey crashing out in like half the trans megas since i joined bearsite lol). But life gets better, the pain doesnt go away but it becomes more understandable (at least, thats my experience. Theres so many trans experiences, mine is but one). And the joy, the JOY! It feels so good, and i want more trans joy in my life, we all deserve so much trans joy.
I dont crash out, i crash in lol (joking tone, but genuine, i dont let anyone see anything and then break down when no one is looking).
The nurse who delivered (the doctor wasn't available) said "its a girl!" when I was born and then they re-assigned me the dreaded M on the paperwork
I still didnt figure it out for like 27 years after that lol. Everyone takes their time.
That's how I felt too. Part of it, I think for me, was how "normal" it was. Like yea, I'm a man, because that's how I was born. I didn't consider options. Society does not give us options, tell us the options are there. Tell us trans people are a thing or what that might feel like. Tips for identifying it in yourself. Nothing.
Iβve got good news
Itβs scary but you can do it if you want to :)
Ok youβre here now though thatβs what really matters
