Cis person writing a trans person:
"I knew I was trans since I popped out my mom’s womb going “yass queen”, but my parents denied it. They were embarrassed of me, they never let me play with dolls or wear dresses as a kid. I was so miserable.
I became a real girl after coming out to my parents at 19 and I had “the surgery”. I thought I was happy, I had everything I wanted. But… that’s not the case. I wake up and put on my high heels, lipstick, and fake lashes as my dad calls me a [slur] and a disappointment. I then walk out onto the street and get hate-crimed by a group of men who realize I’m not actually a woman. A mother walks past me and covers her child’s eyes, pleading under her breath that her precious son never grows up to be like me.
At least I have my friends, who misgender and deadname me constantly because it’s hard for them. I should be more patient, they lost the man they once knew and loved… it’s not the same anymore :(. Still, they’re really woke because they haven’t abandoned me completely. I’m so glad to have them. :)"
