This is from one of the "safer" states. Imagine what it means to be living somewhere like Texas like me... There's a reason I closed registrations on my server, I have no idea of what's coming and this could easily be me any day I leave the house...#lgbt #lgbtqia #lgbtq #transfemme #transwoman
Just finished rewatching the 1972 musical "Cabaret", about three friends and lovers in the waning days of the Weimar Republic.
Found this when checking in for the evening:

Toute méchanceté a sa source dans la faiblesse.
Citation déformée venant de Jean-Jacques Rousseau dans "Émile ou De l'éducation" (1762). La bonne citation de Sénèque est «Omnis enim feritas est ex infirmitate.» («Car toute cruauté provient de la faiblesse.») extraite de son ouvrage "De la vie heureuse" (vers 58 apr. J.-C.).
Extrait "De la vie heureuse" de Sénèque (vers 58 apr. J.-C.):
La vie heureuse est donc une vie conforme à la nature; mais nul ne saurait l’obtenir, s’il n’a préalablement l’âme saine et en possession constante de son état sain; si cette âme n’est énergique et ardente, belle de ses mérites, patiente, propre à toute circonstance, prenant soin du corps et de ce qui le concerne, sans anxiété toutefois, ne négligeant pas les choses qui font le matériel de la vie, sans s’éblouir d’aucune, et usant des dons de la fortune, sans en être l’esclave. On comprend, quand je ne le dirais pas, que l’homme devient à jamais tranquille et libre, quand il s’est affranchi de tout ce qui nous irrite ou nous terrifie. Car au lieu des voluptés, de ces avantages chétifs et fragiles qui flétrissent l’homme en le perdant, on trouve une satisfaction sans bornes, inébranlable, toujours égale; alors l’âme est en paix, en harmonie avec elle-même, et réunit la grandeur à la bonté. Toute cruauté en effet vient de faiblesse.

It hurt... it hurt so much and like so much trauma it's not that obvious until the trauma is past...
I was isolated, not only from other people, but from my own emotions... I wanted so badly to cry but I couldn't, all I could do was bottle it up (not toxic masculinity, literally an effect of testosterone)...
I looked at myself and pretty much didn't see myself... I had no self-image then and now I have one forming.
Before even my transition I figured out I'm grey-ace, now that I have a girlfriend I've really established that I'm grey-ace, emphasis on the grey... 😳
So it's really nothing sexual for me... there's the opposite of gratification there (without details... certain things don't work right anymore...). What it is is feeling at home in my skin, looking at myself in the mirror and finding things I like... sure I get dysphoria and there are plenty of things I don't like about my body... but there's for once in my life alot of things I do like.
And on top of it all... my personality and interactions with the world feel so less discordant... so many of my behaviors were early hints of being a woman... I may never have kids, but it's clear I've had "mother" energy for a looooong time.
... I could keep going but I got a day job to do...
