Thank you for this Genevieve! and er, yeah, another thing that comes along with the difficulty to accept your own trans self is the amount of trans imposter syndrome that continues to harm us, along with plenty of cisgender stereotypes about what being trans is like, and many other factors like having to fit in one way or another when you perceive your own gender in a way that helps you feel at ease.

I deeply appreciate you for writing this reassuring and empathetic piece!
