I have no “before” and “after”. I am always and always. Nothing lost, everything to gain. Femme power forever. When my mother asks me “Do you know that you’re beautiful?”, she means “Do you know that I think you looked good when you were female-presenting and therefore wish you didn’t need to transition?”
I say, “I know, Mom. I’m more beautiful now than ever.”
