Woahhhh- the description of “emptying” was so apt for what I experienced when I began t blockers—and how my attraction did actually shift. And then sexuality as a vase. Seriously you is a poettttt and you is spitting.

I also rlly appreciate your meditation on the idea that we’re always uncovering a self that was already there being inaccurate-how we can actually discover and create ourselves and that be equally valid. This piece is profound and this the type of content I deeply appreciate🫶🏾

“I would love to say I’ve been a femme lesbian all along” chile, me too 😭😭😭 There is something so fluid and blossoming about queer identity, it’s hard to know who you are before you know. The born this way narrative is cute, but there are so many queer folks I know, cis and trans, who only grew into themselves after experimentation and learning new information. I am also growing into and practicing my lesbian identity. 🙂‍↕️💖

Thank you so much for reading hun🥰🥰🥰 Yeah thinking about it as "born this way" can help you at first but I think there's more freedom to just realizing you can be whoever you want to be🕊️
