        I am so lucky that I got to have examples of successful, powerful, trans people during my transition. I might not have gathered the courage without them.

        Between the community on and offline I knew I was doing the right thing and that I had the same chance of happiness that anyone has.

      This one hits hard. And even after learning self-love, it still comes and goes. Self-love is certainly a verb and not a noun.

      Like LadyButterfly said, there’s just so many negative messaging and expectations directed at women. I don’t think I’ll ever measure up. Still, to quote a popular Millennial maxim, I am cringe but I am free.
