Hi, I’m Domi.

Long time lurker, first time poster. I just wanted to say that you have all helped me a great deal.

It’s been long and slow journey unpacking the huge pile of internalised phobias that were pumped into my brain as an assumed male growing up in the 90s and 2000s. I have spent a long time in this very self-loathing “everyone is valid except me” way of thinking.

I’ve been reading your stories for a long time, the beautiful trans joy and difficult and terrible things too. You being here, being yourselves in all your glory, it has been a way for me to feel community and connection even before I could admit to myself who I really was.

So thank you all, thank you for sharing your joy, thank you sharing your hard times, thank you so much for being who you are. You’ve done more to help me than you can know.
