"one of the ironic things about transition is how so much of the language about it revolves around "becoming your true self" and whatnot, but in a lot of ways, it feels like having the rug ripped out from under who you think your true self is, and having to look for it again. before i transitioned physically, i had all these ideas about the kind of guy i wanted to be, but contrary to what pop culture would have you think, you don't just go to sleep one night as a girl, and wake up as a guy the next day. it's all a process."
