    During the darker times (2017, when I got spammed anti sjw content on YouTube) I used to think that being trans was wrong etc. it was the trans people close to me that me realize that their personal preferences do not effect me in the slightest and that in the end we’re all people. If the people who knew you before you became trans cannot come to respect it, then perhaps those people shall not be in your life. This is a tough pill to swallow because this means that you will potentially alienate yourself from your friend circle, but being the group’s joke can be damaging to your self esteem and far worse than not having friends at all. If they’re not shit people, they will accept you for who you are, some may need some time to process or they will potentially still call you by the wrong pronouns from time to time (I’m so guilty of this, because decades of habit die hard but I really try).

    Train hard, fight easy.
