Chrissyyyy your writing always feels like a conversation with a friend - so powerfully poignant and then hilariously funny in the next breath. The PC music and “her grandkids definitely don’t talk to her” lines had me laughing on the train. You write these complexities effortlessly. Loved this ❤️🩹
Gosh, this is powerful. As an AMAB enby who -- as of this writing -- presents en femme only at goth and kink events, where genderfuckery falls within accepted norms, I've experienced only the smallest flickers of the fear and gratification you describe. The thought of transitioning more fully has always made me leery; part of me has always been grateful for the chance to retreat to the safety of my AGAB. You may not have written with the goal of dragging people like me out of the closet, but your essay did make living openly sound noble, self-sacrificial instead of self-indulgent.
Keep on writing. I'll keep on reading and pondering.
It must feel like a burden to be hopeful, and especially to write hopefully at this time! You are so, so powerful and that really comes through in your posts. Your writing really inspires me to have positivity. Wishing you the best, Chrissy! <33
I was stupid enough to fall for the bait and argue with those chuds who hate us, and I apologise because I'm pretty sure it only dragged more to attack us 😭
