    I can’t describe what it feels like to think about that. 20-year-old me would probably be confused. Not put off or anything, but just genuinely confused, because at that age I started putting in way more effort in my (manly) appearance.

    I love this one too. I do wonder how my past-selves would react to me. There was definitely some internalized transphobia I had to deconstruct in my realization. I’m not sure how I would of reacted if I was forced to confront my trans-ness before I was ready.

      I probably would have been like the top right panel a few years ago 😓 there’s been a lot of deconstructing a lot of internalized oppression since then. That was possibly one of the first steps on my journey of self discovery even if it was ~8 years ahead of the trans realization.
