I have, at times, been lost in the world of 'what if' myself. What if I could have come out as a transgender girl in 1950. What would be different about my voice which now says "he" to people's unconscious minds, the size of my feet that now need size 14 in women's shoes. Many hugs to you, my friend.
I was born female and still am - and I wear size 13 shoes. I have -always- had big feet and when I was a teen, my mom took me to a custom shoe store so I could have a pair of heels. Then Payless happened and I went crazy and bought a ton of shoes. Now I'm down to 5 pair and no heels (sadly) but there are a lot of us women with big feet. You fit right in, sister.
I think you are fine the way you are. I get the yearning for physical change… I get the wanting to fit in. And Beards are nice. But we are our worse critics, aren’t we? Robin, always keep being the positive, encouraging person you are. Outward looks, and dreams are one thing, yes. But you and some others here are how I stay connected with my community. How I feel the echo of us all in the ABC’s of chaos. LGTBQIA+ Thanks for being brave enough to share your thoughts, and dreams with us all. It makes us feel comfortable enough to share our own stories. Hugs, Diana
So many dreams, so many echoes. Some have come true with transition and time, but some will continue to echo with grief, echo with longing. The both/and. Gratitude and grief.🩵🩷🤍
Beautiful, may I call it an "Inside Out" view from you a Trans Man for me to process as a Cis Man, who also has thought many of the same thoughts. I have grown old and become an elder through survival. I too have an intense fear that I would turn out to be just like my father, which was partly a fear of growing up to be an old man. Or not like my father but none the less an old man. Thanks for sharing. Not to diminish, we all go through similar experiences and feelings and in many ways are all the same, only different. Maybe that is the key to acceptance for the LGBTQ Community: The same only different. Fondly, Michael
