@alice I have been reading this site on and off for the past few weeks, and oooof does this raise a lot of issues I didn't know I had! Some things make more sense now.

I had been putting off seeing someone to start HRT, but I really should not delay.

Thank you for the reminder

> "You are valid and valued."

I can never hear those words. A filter catches all the letters and syllables.

@alice oh that looks like a great site, thanks for sharing!

@alice

What is gained by identifying ourselves and each other within the restrictions of gender norms? Why try to find what is "masculine", "feminine", how do I measure up, become that ideal?

We are each an individual with our own idiosyncracities, talents, disabilities, attractions, desires, ways of being.

Isn't our best life goal to learn, to be
the person we are most happy being?

@oliviabelle @alice You're worth it!
