I'm not trans, just a plain old lesbian. I have had lovers who later transitioned, and unfortunately they chose not to include me in their lives after they assumed their new identity. It's very strange to mourn a person who no longer exists, even though the body they were walking around in still does. They didn't die, they just disappeared. It's illuminating for me to read your work. I know what it's like to have an orientation that straight people don't understand, but I've never doubted that I was the sex I was born as. Thank you for risking the share. It is appreciated.
Brilliantly written!!! I believe we are a full spectrum and hope to see a day when all are free to live and express ourselves fully for who we are and not a cookie cutter of binary social standards. 🩷
I stand with you both on dysphoria being a human experience...and on each of us ultimately defining our gender! 💜💜💜
