I've just started making the vaguest of gestures in the direction of a transition, and having this story... it's silly how much it helps me. But, to have trans-ness included in something that was part of my life before I realised what was wrong, rather than having to seek it out specifically-- it's comforting. It makes it feel a little less like I'm going to have to totally kill girl-me in order to find room for not-girl-me to breathe. (Plus, as long as I make it through better than Stephen and Charlene, I'm OK!)
Anyway, I just wanted to say, thank you. Thank you for writing this, and thank you for writing it so well.
