      same ^

      I was already depressed and fairly dysphoric by 16, that was also the age when I first heard about eunuchs and dreamed of being a eunuch and being accepted in society as a woman. Can’t believe it took decades for me to figure it out, imagine the harm that could have been avoided if I had known and acted sooner …

    Your father will never stop being an asshole. He doesn’t deserve the tears you shed for him. You will be in a near fatal incident and, no matter how much his siblings plead with him, he won’t call you. He will die a painful, lingering death and he won’t tell you. He’s worthless and you should put your emotions into bettering yourself. He will continue his bullshit until you are in your 40s even when you haven’t spoken to him in over 20 years. Don’t cry over sorry trash like him. You deserve and will have better people in your life.

    I’ve also been telling myself this since yesterday 🙃

    That is difficult. Usually I find kids and teens are very unwilling to listen to advice :P

    Go get diagnosed with ADHD please! Go do that now! While you are still in school! Also, you are transgender so please go read about what that means please! Also look up “DIY HRT”. Don’t trust the doctors with your gender :(

    I can’t think of any advice I could give that I would have listened to at that age.

    Now, if I could give my 16 year old self a few books …

    Fuck what these clowns say or think of you. Enjoy this period in your life as much as you can. You will likely never experience the rush of freedom and possibility like you are right now.

    Don’t get married just because “it’s the next step” and “well I guess we’ve been together long enough🤷🏼‍♀️”! We divorced a year later. Stupid kids we were🤦🏻‍♀️
