Long Story Short: If you feel safe, be yourself, no matter what that means. If you feel unsafe, learn self-defense, then be yourself.  Long Story Long: I’m an AFAB (assigned female at birth) demimale (a dude, but like, not totally). I presented as 100% male for 6 years before realising that a) my personality didn’t fit and b) holy shit dresses are so comfortable. I live near San Francisco and go to a very diverse college, so I felt safe when I thought I was a transman, but the idea of wearing a dress to the men’s room set off my anxiety. What if that was just one step too far? So I took a self-defense course, got a new haircut, and bought some makeup and nailpolish. I knew what to do if someone wanted to mess with me and my self-confidence grew because I actually felt like myself.  It’s been about a year now, and I feel amazing. My anxiety and depression lessened, my grades improved, my relationships have improved—all because I don’t feel like I’m trying to be “trans enough”. Honey, I am trans enough. I am enough. I’m me.

Aaaaah she’s so pretty.
I’m so sad because I’m basically the opposite (transguy who wants a beard and breasts) but I’d have to take hormones which I don’t want to do.
But also Alex is perfect. As my (cishetero) friend would say: “D E S T R O Y T H E G E N D E R B I N A R Y”

You know, I was doing fine until the gif. Now I’m just a mess.
