I’ve been struggling with realizing I’m a woman in a trans-unfriendly community within a trans-friendly US state.
I feel guilty because I’m probably more safe than most trans people but it’s painful to be so close yet so far away. Knowing and seeing people get to live their true selves while that’s out of reach for me.
Luckily I have an amazing and supportive wife. We went out to karaoke the other night and I dressed the most femme I’ve ever been outside my house. Which was just a cute choker and my wife’s jacket on top of my masc clothes lol. I was feeling too self conscious about my legs to try wearing a dress 😖
I sang Bjork’s It’s Oh So Quiet and I felt like I was glowing. I know everyone else saw a guy on stage but internally I was really me for a few minutes.
