I found mine via my therapist. But also try googling “trans support groups near me”…it’s surprisingly fruitful (pardon the pun).

Have you found a local or nearby trans support group? They’d probably have the best recommendations…

These are all my thoughts, too. I have nothing to add though…

Most religions specifically dissuade people from thinking critically. I recall my time in my Jesuit high school, where any questioning of the tenets were frowned upon.

The basic concept of faith is to accept something which can’t be proven. It is antithetical to critical thought.

I have spent years learning about religions of the world, as I recover from my religious trauma. There are very few which truly encourage critical thought.

Critical thinking isn’t anti-religion. Religion is anti-critical thinking.

WA resident here, raised in AK. The healthcare here is pretty a.azing. my medicaid pays for all surgeries, procedures, even hair removal!

We also have some good laws like how demanding to know what kind of genitals a trans person has is something that you can call the cops about.

I came here to mention Japan’s “Asia for Asians” campaign in the early 1900s. Glad to see I’m not the only history nerd commenting on this post!

Not to mention Alan Turing

The amalgam of style, gender presentation, gender identity, and social pressures are impossible for me to parse, so I instead focus on knowing that I can’t separate them & do what makes me happy (it’s not hurting anyone). You do you!

Not a guy, but thanks

100% agreed! If only he’d be a little more friendly…

Indeed! He looks just like this piece of art my in-laws have in memory of one of their parents. We didn’t expect to get a rooster, much less such a beauty!
