Hey, dunno if this is anything, but I wanted to say, seeing you transition brings me joy in an odd way.
I’m a cis-girl, and I’ve run through many of the experiences your beginning to have. But, to me there’s something very special about the happiness you experience in having them. A lot of these (like make-up for ex) were things I just “had” to do because I was a woman and i had to fit inside the standards of one to some degree. It made me isolated from them because I couldn’t separate femininity from the social pain.
But then seeing trans-woman like you go through them with a great euphoria to be feminine or to be a woman, it healed me in a way I can’t describe. I started wearing long skirts again, I put on makeup for myself, I started wearing face paint designs and flowers and braiding my hair because I found joy in being feminine again. Seeing someone love turning into a woman- BEING a woman, it overwhelmed me with a love so big I kind of wanted to cry. The love of being a woman in any way, not just trying to fit the perception of someone else’s ideal of “woman”, is something so important to me but I didn’t even realize it until seeing trans woman just enjoy it. We are woman and people can’t take that away from us.
so everytime you feel a win from feeling pretty in an outfit or something like that, I hope you know I’m rooting for you. And I hope you know it’s small bursts of love that trans-woman have that make me want to be a woman again. Thank you.
THIS IS SO SWEET????!??!?!?? THANK YOU!??!?!?!? IM GONNA CRY THIS MEANS SO MUCH TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3
