Hi I'm sorry to bother you I've just been feeling bad recently. I'm a 17 year old transgender lesbian and I've been on hormones for about 6 months and I'm starting to feel changes but I feel like I'm missing so many of the things that other sapphic girls are attracted to? I see a lot of posts about how trans sapphics are valid and I completely appreciate them but sometimes I can't help but feel like I'll always just be a straight boy. It doesn't help that I'm still mostly in the closet...
hi bug! no need to apologize, you’re not a bother! i can’t speak for your specific experiences but i can understand how you must feel. sometimes seeing all those positivity posts about being valid just isn’t enough, especially when we’re closeted. those posts are great, but sometimes i’ve find they can kinda gloss over the tough feelings for me at least - it’s easy to say that something is valid, but it’s hard to really accept that! so i do think it is so important to build community and share your experiences and find others who feel similarly and to really discuss things and not just tell people they’re valid - although that’s definitely important too. i want you to know that you have a community here and there are a lot of others who i know have felt this way! and in terms of what girls are attracted to i think it differs for everyone and there are a lot of posts a lot of times about general things about girls that are attractive but they don’t cover everything for sure. i think there are unique things about everyone that someone can be attracted to! it’s definitely ok for girls to have different experiences. we don’t have to be exactly the same to be valid as who we are and to share a community. but i’m sure that it can be frustrating so i just want to honor that and let you know that i’m always here for ya! love ya girlie and def come talk to me whenever xxx
