    Trans people don’t have a fucking choice, life is conflict, so fuck it, every little thing shall be fought.

    unfortunately i know too many trans people that don’t feel like fighting and just give into it bc it’s easier to “seem normal” than it is to stand up for themselves. it sucks! (i’ve struggled in that way before too.)
