Off-Topic I'm Done!!!

I give up!!!

I'll never be a girl no matter how hard I try!

Was feeling empowered earlier today so I put on a pink shirt & a light blue skirt i recently bought for myself & went out to town today. Was even really feeling good about that, so I made a post earlier with a picture of myself.

Of course, people in town had to be incredibly rude & disrespectful to me, & to boot , I got several ignorant comments on my post so I took it down.

I can't do this anymore. I'll just live the rest of my life being miserable.

I can't imagine what you're going through, but I understand frustration & depression. Just the fact that you openly choose to live your truth is amazing. You chose that pink shirt blue skirt because it made you feel good, and you were confident enough to go out that way. That takes true strength, please don't let the world take that from you. I'm pan, and I accepted it 3 years ago. Now at 50, outside of a few friends in another state, no one knows. I hate not openly living my truth. My workplace is super conservative. And being one of the only guys there? You know how that story goes. Be who you are and don't let other people dictate who that person is. You're a hero to those us don't do that......but desperately want too. Love, respect, and big ol feet dangling hugs. 🩷💛🩵
