I did all the things. Transitioned. Quit opioids and cigarettes. Went back to school. Got discriminated against and persevered. Quit my last job because of anti LGBT policy and got my dream job.
Oh, and I did all that since 2020.
And it’s a nightmare. I’m isolated. No support, and I found out today my coworkers hate me and think I’m trash.
I don’t know what to do. Go back to school? It’s just going to be more of the same. In the last five years, I achieved more than I ever thought I could. And I’ve never been more alone or miserable than I am right now.
I’m tired of living in a world that doesn’t want me, that I’ll never be good enough for. My parents were right, I’m never going to be good enough.
So what’s the point?
I don’t think I have anything helpful to say, but I want you to know the world does want you. The climate for trans people is really bad right now, but that’s temporary, and most people don’t agree with it. Most people have no problem with trans people. It’s only the loud and annoying bigots that make it feel like the world is against trans people. Progress will happen, though, and eventually the bigots will be drowned out.
