The best advice I can offer anyone is to stop worrying what others think or may think of you, to live your life authentically, to the fullest, all while loving and embracing who you are!
———————————————————
I get a lot of messages from people asking me when I transitioned and if it’s too late for them to do so. I also get a lot of people saying, “I’ll never be passable” or “my family and friends will never accept me.” ———————————————————
Being true to who you are in a world that seems to hate and fear us, can be terrifying so I understand the concerns. However, the hate you have to flush out the most, is your own. Stop beating yourself up, feeling shame and guilt for being “different.” The journey to authenticity has no age limit and “passability” is a false construct based on outward appearances of vanity. True beauty shines from within and is reflected through your smile and your heart. Love and embrace who you are…even the flaws!! Also, if your current family and friends won’t accept you, you’ll find a new, chosen family that will embrace you with open arms. Let go of the fears and chose to live your life
