To me, to be transgender means to be, at minimum, two people: The person you spent so long trying to be for everyone else, and the person you actually are. The process of transitioning is to figure out that person you are, once you scrape off the person that you tried to be. I think the person I tried to be was very silly and fun, which existed in opposite to the pain. I still like to be silly, I ... » Continue Reading

I feel the carcass of this existence scratching and tearing away at my insides, the tender and sensitive part the world doesn't want to see. You didn't want to see it, and so why should I?
