In some ways, 2025 has been a great year for me - confidence in my appearance has grown exponentially, existing in my own body has increased, other people - strangers - merely seeing and treating me as a woman.

But, as this post points out, 2025 has been so emotionally draining, exhausting…

…I, like so many trans people, am wiped out. Curling up on the sofa and closing the world off is an option I find I choose far too often.

Will the world, as it stands at the present, deter me from being my authentic self? NEVER!

I am stronger than the current climate, and I will continue to be, and continue to thrive.

This is why I'm not "out at my current job.

I'm accepted as me (I have transitioned), but if they knew that I'm trans, would I experience that subtle shift, would have to justify my existence?
