Sometimes I wonder what my life would have been like if I had been born thirty years later. If instead of my mom freaking out because I liked to wear her shoes and wanted my hair in pigtails she had just let me explore in a safe environment. If instead of just envying my (all girl) besties’ dresses and Mary Jane’s I had felt safe to ask if I could wear them too. If instead of having to go through a confusing puberty and being told “everyone feels awkward during puberty” I had been able to go through the correct puberty and been able to learn how to be a woman along with my friends.
To just be another young woman who didn’t have to go through a lifetime of self-hatred and dissociation and trauma because how she felt inside wasn’t allowed to exist in society. M
And it makes me really angry that so many people in our world want to lock trans kids back into the same awful dystopia I grew up in. 🤬
