Just wanna put this one out there.
I'm 45 years old. I have lived through school in the 80's and 90's. When playgrounds were made of splintered logs and burning metal. At a time when telling a teacher about your bully would make it worse and was an act of cowardice. When being called Gay by one kid could Kill your reputation faster than a cold or lice could spread through a school.
I have seen telephones evolve from house lines with rotary dials all the way to smartphones that barely get used to speak on. Through Internet that started up like a Loony Toons short and dropped the connection because Mom needed to ask Grandma for a recipe to instant access to Amy information you need.
I have watched the world evolve from close friends being in your town to being in another country. I've watched the rise and fall of acceptance. I've witnessed sexuality grow from Straight/Gay-Lesbian/Bi to the grand rainbow of interesting flavors it is. And I have seen the evolution and growth of the gender identity from the mainstream and accepted Male and Female to include Trans, Non-Binary, Gender Fluid, and whatever other gender someone identifies as.
During this all, I have come to some conclusions. What I'm about to say may be controversial.
1: You are You. You can only Be You. Anyone that says They know You Better than You do is looking to control You. There are only 2 things that will stop you from being your true self. The first is weapon used to end you. The second is You allowing them to stifle you. Don't give them that power.
2: Anyone saying they know the secret to happiness is selling something or wants to control you. Religion and Self Help Merchants are Bad for this.
3: It doesn't matter how old you are, it is never too late to become who you truly are. Take that as gospel from a 45 year old Trans Woman who is Polyamorous and Finsexual (Feminine in Nature) who was once a Cis Bi Religious Male.
4: Follow your instincts. They are there to guide you and protect you. If you think you have no instincts, think about the last time you had a feeling something is wrong or dangerous and did it anyway because of Social Pressure. Instinct has led me to the mother of my child, my husband, and my family. All of whom I would defend fiercely.
5: Everything in moderation. Too much of anything is bad for you, even things that are supposed to be good for you.
These are the words of wisdom from Mama Marrs, a Trans Kitsune Woman who has the attitude toward others of "If you don't like what I saw, how I look, or how I act, Stop Looking." Have a wonderful day everyone.
