I'm visible, but wish I weren't. Happy for everyone's trans joy, but boy, sure am envious as well, because all I feel is shame of late.
Y'all, I ain't strong enough for this. Gonna need y'all to carry the flag for a bit.

World is scary and life is tiring. It's okay to step back. It is not your duty to put yourself out there, make yourself a target for gazes, stares or worse.
The trans community looks out for each other, and that includes looking out for yourself <3 It's not as though you haven't already put a lot of yourself out there in the form of your writing. Take care, do what you need, and we hope that the shame can recede.
im sorry skunkfriend
i wish it didnt feel like existing day to day was asking so much of you
i think youre pretty neat and this culture is stupid if it wants to make you feel bad about it
