I love this and while I'm not trans, I can relate in certain ways that strike a profound chord in my soul. My mother is a covert spiritual narcissist who groomed me to be her mirror, her attendant, her mini-me. I'm not naturally any of of those things but I am an empath and so it was easy for her to mold me into the person she wanted me to be. I didn't realize or understand it for many decades, but being the person she so desperately wants me to be has made me physically, emotionally, and psychologically ill my entire adult life. It's a kind of prison. Every time a trans person finds authenticity and joy in being themselves, my heart soars. I rejoice in your euphoria, the triumph of your will over chains that bind.
“Because sometimes being real with yourself is the hardest damn thing”
