So this was me, a couple of weeks ago.

Up until last night I was still struggling, until I watched a trans affirmation video, the part where the woman filming it instructs you to repeat your feminine name aloud to yourself.

This is something I had never actually done before, and the power of the right name, one that is really yours, is truly astonishing. It only took saying it a couple of times for the euphoria to hit so hard I couldn't stop crying. And that was kind of it for me, really.

What's the point of having an easy life and money in your savings account if you want to throw yourself off a building every day?

I don't really have a choice anymore, even though it would maybe be easier and safer if I could reject her. Amelia is just who I am.

So what should your newest girl buy herself to celebrate falling to the radical trans agenda? (:

Buy a trans flag and hang it in your home, left wrinkled of course ;)

I know exactly what you mean about not having a choice. That is what sealed the deal for me. When you're willing to take on the long scary journey that is transitioning, especially as AMAB which involves giving up lots of privilege in the process, that is kinda the point of no return.

Fortunately for me it has not been anywhere near as bad as I feared in the worst case. In fact it has been such a wonderful experience, I have a lot of hope for 2024, my third year of transition.

good luck Amelia, and don't be afraid to lean on us for advice, we have to look after eachother.
