771) Stealth people make me a bit sad. I love being open with people about who I am.

except being transsexual isn’t ‘who i am’ so why should i tell people that if it’s not accurate? why are people on this thing incapable of realising everyone has different feelings/experiences around trans stuff? just cos you see being trans as a huge part of yourself doesn’t mean everyone does or should.
