@koalou@lgbtqia.space I went the other direction. First, I fantasized about what if I turned into a woman, but dealing with it all seemed like too much hassle (and also dealing with the assumption people would likely have that this change would be upsetting to me), so eventually I just settled on the always been this way solution. I suppose yours is a slightly more realistic picture of transition. @mallory_sinn@hachyderm.io

@eruonna@lgbtqia.space Funny enough, it didn't occur to me that people around me would have an issue with it, only the government x) Waking up with a different body, without paperwork to prove who I am would be a huge issue, especially with how often we have to show an ID… the only thing I can think of that'd help would be for my fingerprint to still match the ones in my passport's memory. @mallory_sinn@hachyderm.io

@eruonna@lgbtqia.space Also, for a while after accepting I was trans, I was picturing being sent back and living my teen years again, but knowing that I was trans, this time (plus keeping my current knowledge to be less bad in class 🙈). Well, I hope that never happens, really don’t want to live through it again, even if I can avoid the depression by knowing what the problems are xD @mallory_sinn@hachyderm.io
