My desire to be
Someone wrote…
I’m scared that acting on my desire to be myself will never be accepted anywhere. I’m afraid TERFS will decry me for being a man. That Men will decry me for being trans. That Transfolk will decry me because I’m not moving to the opposite side of the spectrum.
Can I please just have a body to match how I feel inside, without hurting people?
What’s your experience?

This doesn’t help with most of it, but TERFs are best ignored.

To steal from your final paragraph, I just want to have a body to match how I feel inside, without people hurting me. I don’t care (very much) how they feel, as long as they keep their negative thoughts and beliefs to themselves.

If it matters, I can only speak for myself, but as a nonbinary, I do not decry you. I think your pursuit of your own happiness is beautiful. That is all. I don’t know that you really need anyone to accept you for your way of being to be valid, but if you need a person, I am one.

There are places you will be accepted. Where you will be loved. Here is one of them. It’s hard work finding the other places that are near to you, but it is so worth it.
