I’m like 90% standing with trannies as a general concept but there’s one hump I just can’t get over

I’m 100% convinced if there was a commitment like HRT and some medical justification I’d still be a fursuiter eating diapers in a Seattle convention center right now.

I see these same mechanisms and interactions all over the trans community, which has displaced or encompassed these smaller niche enclaves, and I can’t help but relate. I think plenty of people would just “grow out of it” but we make them stake their integrity on being trans now.
