this was an incredible read, shawn. your writing always makes me feel warm on the inside, and i love learning the inner workings of your experiences, thoughts, and feelings. i feel particularly lucky to consider you a soul sister and am grateful that i get to witness your power and grace as you navigate this life. even with how self assured i know you are, my first instinct is to pour into you and express how proud i am of you. the pen is penning!!!!! love you, girl <3
This was a gorgeous read and resonated beautifull. Even three years in and two surgeries in, I still find myself critical of how my transness is perceived. But the way you describe releasing the baggage of being a social pariah is a really refreshing and empowering reframe that I’m embracing as I pass more. The freedom in your words is something I can feel and I’ll be holding onto it 💕🙏🏾
I’m so happy for you that you were able to pass after only 8 months! I took a year of T and then stopped due to getting sleep apnea and I’m not seen as a guy at all. I kinda wish people wouldn’t assume that all trans men pass easily and all trans woman don’t pass easily. Everyone’s situation is different.
So so beautiful Shawn, I loved every part of this ♥️ you have such a knack for describing your experience through a narrative that hooked me and had me hanging on to every sentence- an incredible talent, mash’Allah!
