anyway so i’ve been on this site for over 5 years now, and never felt the need or desire to come out on tumblr. only 3 people on tumblr know, 3 people i trust deeply too, and it wasn’t shared haphazardly. even then, i’ve really never had someone i felt comfortable discussing it all with, or that i felt could appreciate what i was saying, and that was a bit discouraging. it’s one thing to accept me, and quite another to ignore me being trans. i don’t wanna be ignored anymore. so i thought today would be a good day because first, i’ve just scheduled my top surgery, and second, i think that while i’ve been talking on black issues with people, there’s another facet to the conversation i’ve had to weed out, and it’s been dfficult. so i really decided that a) if someone dont like it i dont care and b) for the people like me, i want yall to know you aint alone, there’s a light at the end of this long ass tunnel, and you WILL get where you wanna go. i’m a black trans male. i’ve been transitioning medically for almost 2 years. i started hrt in sept. of 2016, and it’s been a rocky road. but i had a family that was at the very least respectful and accepting if not completely supportive at times, so i’m a lucky one, and i know that. but either way, it’s rough. im payin out of pocket for this surgery, 3 years of savings all gone at once, but i know it’ll be worth it so there’s that. and i know i’ll be okay after, you know. i know that in the end, there are things more important, and the sooner i’m comfortable with myself, the sooner i can do more for those who are still trying to make it there. anyway there you have it.
