Transphobia

I grew up in a pretty rural community and honestly, I didn't even know that trans people existed. So to build back like all those years of internalized transphobia, it took a lot. And then also the whole social aspect of that, knowing that I'd have to change my name, I would have to come out to literally everyone in my life. That's why even really getting into the fact that there are certain people that I knew would just wouldn't accept me as it's such a, such a polarized thing. Like my identity is politicized. Yeah.
