My Trans Story

"trans people just want attention"

You know I just find it so insane that people think that trans people are trans for the attention or to creep in bathrooms or whatever.

Like its just so weird that people think all we want to do is be trans for fun.

Because like? I dont stare at myself in the mirror for an hour picking out every detail of my body that I hate for fun. And I don't lock myself in my room and plan out every situation where I need to make sure people dont find out I'm trans because I want attention.

And every time I use a public bathroom I get scared because I have no idea how people are going to perceive me so all I can do is just go and hope nobody confronts me.

I sure as hell am not anxious about money or worried about my family disowning me for fun either.

I dont sit in the shower with the water scalding me and stare at the wall for fun.

I dont know it's just stupid. It's stupid that people think all we want is a little attention when actually being trans literally ruined my life. There are going to be people who hate me, want me to die, over something that I cant even help.

So why would I do any of this on purpose?
