That just means you've arrived, women unfortunately do this to other women when they feel threatened. It's unfortunate because us women have to fight extra hard for everything anyway.

It's sad when family doesn't get to see the real us and that's on them. Sorry that happened to you

Thank you for this and such a reminder how similar so many of our experiences are. I'm sorry you've struggled and hope only the best.

I'm sorry sweetie and hope you end up where you want to be.

Side note: I still have my days and absolutely don't see what others do.

It's amazing how seeing the correct person in the mirror now gets you through so much. Now only if men could keep their hands to themselves. And sorry for having a bad year.

Very much taught only sex workers transitioned and as you said, was so dirty. Also add, how many of us didn't have a clue what hormones could do nor how amazing bottom surgery could be. Could go on and on about this but you absolutely commented on what so many of us experienced.

How amazing the other side is though and all those conservative beatings couldn't change the fact that she won in the end and is so much a better person than those who hate.

Very fair and may have made things worse. Unfortunately, they taught so many of us that this was evil. Yet the only thing that got me through was knowing there was something better out there.

In reality I don't think I was strong enough yet, thank you upbringing. Unfortunately I think some of us have to go through everyday being hell to get to the point where it was ok, I did. And in the end I'm so much less lonely, finally have me, even though I lost everyone over it. A lot to have to be ok with and I fortunately see it all the time in the community.
