Why does being trans have to be the way it does?
50% of us off ourselves in the end.
And that's just the people who were confirmed to be trans to whoever was doing the survey that discovered that.
Factor in all the people who were secretly trans, or hadn't realised it yet, and that number probably only rises higher.
I've only been at it for 2 years.
But i've had brothers and sisters in this, that i cared for, die by their own hand.
I've seen others choose a life of silence and repression, cos it just seemed easier to them.
I love another trans woman, who tells me she expected it to get easier after she came out, but it got harder.
And i feel that, in my very soul.
You have to live your whole life fighting just to be seen as you once you accept this is just who you are.
So i reiterate: Why does being trans have to be this way?
Simple answer - it doesn't, but society makes it that way.
And that right there, i think that thought is what breaks people.
