Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

In a just world, discovering that you're trans would be a time of celebration. Your community would gather around you to help support you in whatever way they could. It would still be a long and difficult journey, but the path would be clear and you would not go alone.
I'm so sorry that you feel like there is no hope. My heart breaks for you. Please know that I value your life.
I know the road is hard.
I know you feel you can not make it.
I'm begging you to try.
I'm asking you to look within yourself and find something worth fighting for.
A woman, whose life has just begun.
Your friends, who need you just as you need them.
A human, that has endured immense suffering and is still fucking standing.
You inspire me.
Hell, fight just to outlive your enemies.
I don't know you, but I know you are a human, and because of that I know you can make it.
I know you can stare down suicidal thoughts.
I know you can face the hate.
I know you can handle the dysphoria.
You already have.
Your journey is long, but we are with you. The path is obscured, but many here have navigated it before. It will be slow, but it WILL get better.
It may not be that useful for you, but I made a blog post of my stream of conciseness during a manic episode that's a bit of a battlecry. It's... certainly unhinged, but you may find some inspiration from it.
Thank you for the kind words. I will keep trying. It is very hard and very slow. I will read your blog post when I get off work. Thank you again. It means a lotm
