👏👏👏 brilliant work Sarah! Loved this. What it took for me to commit to transition was to give myself the grace to be butch that I have always given my cisters. For too long I was applying Harry Benjamin syndrome standards to my trans-ness, and because I couldn’t be straight or force myself to perform femininity to the degree I was convinced was necessary, I delayed my transition. I am healing from that and excited for my upcoming first tranniversary since starting hormones. If you’re on instagram you should check out the account mtf_butches which catalogues bits of history which might warm your heart.
