Thank you! I'm doing my best, even if it's a little hard sometimes. Optics is a misapplied concept, and I wish people took more time to understand it. The average person doesn't turn on us because we stand out... they turn on us because they've been convinced that we in some way do harm. Being visible means I am in a spot to show that despite standing out like a sore thumb... I'm still a model citizen who does no harm and helps others.
I get absolutely glowing reception from the people that know me personally and let that guide me. I've kinda become "the Mom I wish I had" to pretty much everyone I know, which warms my heart.

Im 47 and transitioned when I was 30. Sorry, but I've only gotten more confident in myself with time.
