For those too scared to be out, I get it. Being visibly #trans is terrifying. I grew up bullied for the slightest "girly" misstep, and became this painfully shy, chronically anxious young adult, hiding behind a beard and baggy clothes, not daring to ever let a glimpse of "me" out. Deciding to transition meant undoing three decades' careful work making myself *in*visible. But I have not regretted it for a second. Despite the danger. Despite the hate. Look at my photos: the payoff has been finally being able to relax into my own being. I know now who I am, what I want from life. I can finally say I lived. And I've been lucky. 99% of people I meet are either chill or actively supportive. Transitioning has restored my faith in humanity. I know that's not everyone's position; my heart goes out to those for whom it's still too dangerous. I'm so thankful that I get to be me. I hope with all my heart you get to be you. ๐
