If you knew how I was all but sure I was going to ruin my career - NOT enhance it - by coming out as a trans guy right before a book that's already printed under my deadname came out and how I had to do it anyway because living that way was literally killing me, you'd understand.

So please, PLEASE feel free to hit that block button if you think I'm doing this for clout and not because the dysphoria was so bad I felt I couldn't breathe. Go judge me elsewhere. I'm way too busy finally living now to deal with your toxic opinions of other trans people.

As someone who figured out that i'm Nonbinary at age 46 i say the following to all who call you an opportunist: Fuck Off A**hat!!!

I’d like a copy of the book that cis people wrote to create arbitrary rules and regulations for trans people.

We had no choice but to bury it - and some of us are very good at leaning hard in the other direction, which I did for a long time.

Exactly. And having almost zero examples for so many reasons can make it that much harder. No wonder people are having more success seeing what's possible now, we can share it more easily. People bitching about you doing that are happy to steal self-understanding from those who might need it most.
