I have a friend in their 60s. They started transitioning last year.
I've known them for 25 yrs. The past year has easily been the happiest I've ever seen them.
Over the past few days, I've received some messages from people who think I'm being too positive about the trans experience. They think I should focus more on how much dysphoria sucks, or how much suffering there is and can be as a result of it.
Look, I get it. Dysphoria almost killed me. I GET IT.
