When you're only permitted to explore your femininity as a "sex thing", then that's what you do.
I read erotic TG stories, consumed erotic art. I dressed up, stuffing my bra to ludicrous proportions. I fantasised, I wrote my own erotica. And each time when I was done, I put everything away, filled with shame and grief, and returned to the colourless male life I had to live.

There were so many like me. Isolated by their shame, by society's judgment. Until society changed, and transgender people started becoming more visible, started telling their own stories. Suddenly I and so many like me saw our own reflections, and in a wave, came out. So many like me, says the lady from the white, middle-class, liberal background. Social change is not evenly distributed. 4/

@Tattie@eldritch.cafe :neocat_heart: Thank you for sharing. I knew I wasn't alone, but it's always nice to hear people living the same things.
