    Let go of my defense mechanisms and cracked my egg on mushrooms.

    Imagine getting out of bed and realizing you’re a forty year old trans woman, who absolutely hates her entire wardrobe. And in a world that stigmatizes gender non-conformity.

    But my partner was very supportive, and I spent the next few months replacing my wardrobe. Started on HRT. And life got better.

    Scary. Still scared. But now I know I can love and be myself. And communication and understanding between my partner and I is much better too.
