I couldn't relate to all of it, because no one can, completely. But I recognized much of it. I won't tell you that it was well-written and evoked emotion (although it was, and it did), because you may not like to hear it.
By the way, per your insistence, I didn't read it--I DID listen to it, though.
I know what it takes for a self-discovery journey, albeit one where no one else even notices or really gives a shit. I am steadfast in my awe of people whose journey is fraught with such obstacles as I cannot imagine like others wanting you dead. Those people will always baffle me, but humanity feels like it takes leaps and bounds forward for every person willing to do it anyway. I cheer for us as humans that you are taking the trip and sharing the journey. Thank you.
Thank you, Wendy. If we're honest, I think we all must have things inside us that gnaw at us and make us regret. At least you're standing up to face them and that takes guts!

Sweet and loving hearted Wendy—at 71 I can see how every single one of us has made choices on what we knew at the time.
We learn when we learn, we grow when we grow. And you’ve grown into someone amazing because you’ve chosen to learn from your mistakes. 💖
And we love you for you.
Your stories-help many individuals going through the transition. Thank you for that and for being Wendy!! ❤️
I hope so.

And many of you may wonder why it is that I have issues with accepting kindness, or advocating for myself.

You are welcome. The entire work is a hard write. Much less to share it all.
A "hard write" and a hard read. My heart goes out to you as you undertake this difficult and necessary effort.
