So hello hi, I'm a Canadian transwoman, born in the 1980s.
I'm filling this out in part because, well, with bots and spoofs and so on, a blank profile looks fake as heck. I'm not some shitty iterative-text plagiarism machine. That said... I dunno if you should ever expect to see anything much beyond this intro.
See also "transwoman born in the 1980s", and you'll probably be unsurprised to learn I was prevented from transitioning until I was almost 30. Thanks, medical gatekeeping. I lost count at something like 50 doctors who all refused to treat me before literally ending up a part of "a doctor lost a bet and now has to treat trans people" because that's what the state of trans care was in the early 2000s. I'm vaguely/pyrrhically proud of having been part of making trans care more welcoming for the next generation of folks but... ha ha, fuck... I got my HRT too late and it did so little for me that even when presenting femme I get misgendered about 95% of the time. You ain't NEVER gonna see a photo of me. You wanna imagine it? Think along the lines of a shaved-clean Jack Black, Penn Gillette, or similar, then add about 10% more tits. Yeah yeah, "your trans mama's so fat" is hot these days, doesn't mean I'm willing to be seen due to my own issues.
Throw in a nice dose of CPTSD (it was a hand-me-down from my mother), and disability severe enough I use a wheelchair about 50% of the time. Aaaand now you know why I do my best to not exist, not even online.
Be good to yourselves. The world chews up and destroys even the people who try their best, so you might as well be nice to yourself to reduce the damage you'll accumulate.
