you *are* a girl.

you probably doubt it. very often i do too. especially if you’re mostly closeted like me. but you are a girl. if you feel like one then you are one. it doesn’t matter whether you pass or not, whether you’re on hormones or not, how much you look like one, how much you feel like one, how long you’ve been feeling like one, how far you’ve come in your transition. none of that matters. you are a woman nonetheless. and do not let ANYBODY tell you otherwise. including yourself. you will get to the other side one day. it’ll happen so don’t lose hope. you are a girl already, you’re just working to better conform with your identity. and even if you’re not, even if you aren’t able to do so, you still are a girl. and no one can tell you otherwise. i’m rooting for you. we all are. period.
