I donāt like how Iām kinda expected to rewrite the first 20 years of my life just because Iām trans. I was the eldest daughter in a black household. I canāt go back and edit my history to say I was the eldest son, cuz that doesnāt accurately convey the certain standards I was held to. I was the only girl in my engineering class. I canāt leave out the āgirlļæ¼ā part. It recontextualizes the entire situation. I donāt think either of those facts invalidates my current gender and I donāt think trans people should be expected to rewrite their own history in fear of that
