Not sure where else I could post about this, FB seems like an increasingly unsafe place and while I'm "out" on certain levels, I've never done an official post about it on there/never fought for official recognition bc my state doesn't offer the option for non-binary identities anyway.

Kindness. Gentleness. Empathy.
These things are fires shining in the forest night.
They must be tended,
but in tending them we are illuminated.
We become a target for things that thrive in darkness.
So, as ever, love is risk.
And, as ever,
worth the danger.

The really interesting thing about the incident I posted about on FB (dude tried to grab me when I was 14, dude got a mangled hand and a permanent fear of teeth for his efforts) is, I had always known there was a point where my anger became dangerous and knew I must never, never let go fully,

No idea what changed, but I got my letter! They still want me to follow up with the psych team there, and as someone with a major depressive disorder I 100% agree that's a good idea, but that's the last item done and the next step is submitting it all to my insurance 🤞🤞🤞🤞
Declined on my first attempt at getting the WPATH letter I need. Ironically, the reason they gave was that I admitted to having had suicidal ideation in the past? And despite tons of studies that show trans people have a lowered risk if allowed access to gender-affirming care... yeah. 🤷
