Are you me? It would have been so much easier if I'd come out like, 10yrs ago. At least I would have been on my parents insurance.

I'll throw in "stop being afraid of the furry community you fucking dumbass; they're a hell of a lot nicer than your current """friends"""".

I don't think I'm you, and I think it would have been harder for me to come out 10 years ago. The trajectory of my life would be completely different if I had, and my family that's cool with it almost certainly wouldn't have been as cool with it then.

Still, wish I could have gotten on estrogen WAY earlier for more effetmcts U.U Oh well.
