The world’s leading expert on European wasps walks into a record shop. He asks the assistant, “Do you have European Vespidae Acoustics Volume 2? I believe it was released this week.” The assistant checks the computer and then says, “Certainly. Would you like to listen before you buy it?” The expert replies, “Of course!” The assistant hands him a pair of earphones and puts the record on a turntable near the counter, and turns it on. The expert listens for a few moments and says to the assistant, “I’m terribly sorry, but I am the world’s leading expert on European wasps and this is not accurate at all. I don’t recognize any of those sounds. Are you sure this is the correct recording?” The assistant checks the turntable. “Yes, sir,” he says. “This is the European Vespidae Acoustics Volume 2. Let me skip ahead to the second track.” Again the expert listens for a few moments and then says to the assistant, “This just can’t be right! I’ve been an expert in this field for 43 years and I still don’t recognize any of these sounds.” The assistant apologizes and lifts the needle to the next track. As soon as the track starts playing, the expert throws off the headphones. “This is outrageous false advertising! I am the world’s leading expert on European wasps and no European wasp has ever made a sound like the ones on this record!” The manager of the shop overhears the commotion and walks over. “What seems to be the problem, sir?” The expert turns to him, red-faced and fuming. “This is an outrage! I am the world’s leading expert on European wasps. Nobody knows more about them than I do. There is no way in hell that the sounds on that record were made by European wasps!” The manager glances down and notices the problem instantly. “I’m terribly sorry, sir. It appears we’ve been playing you the bee side.”

Never apologize for being alive. We’re glad you’re still here. You are a beautiful woman ❤️

missed u Miisha… I know I’m still relatively new to all this as well but I still wanna give u a hug ❤️

Girl, don’t delete the damned account! (Oh, nvrmnd, too late. But at least you replaced it with Miisha). We’re just getting to know you! And you are loveable as fuck. You are being yourself and sharing the real you. It’s amazing and wonderful. Don’t toss that aside. The world needs that in it. We need you in it.

Your apologies are to no one, because they aren’t needed by anyone. We just want you to stay here and become the woman you don’t realize you can be. There are countless stories of trans women becoming the women they want to be after years of being sure they could never achieve that. That’s a thing. You are in it and you will have that story to help others with when you become the woman you want to be. You just don’t believe it yet, and that’s the most important part of the story. So good. I’m glad you don’t believe it yet. That will make your story even more helpful to the people who need to hear it in the future.

Stay here and be amazing. Right now that just means being your authentic self. You need to be nice to yourself, and give yourself time and space to grow. It was tough growing up once. Now you get to do it again, so let’s actually make it fun this time. It’s possible. I promise.

Also, get a new therapist. This one sounds dumb as fuck. I just want to sit around and talk shit about them with future you.

The world is filled with terrible people. You ain’t one of 'em. Your existence dilutes the asshole ratio and therefore improves the lives of everyone around you. Depression makes that very hard to see. Let’s address this depression by finding the right therapist. You might have to go to a dozen of them to find the perfect one for you. But that will be the most important shopping you ever do in your life. Totally worth it!

Ok, now take two shrooms and call me in the morning.

🫂 We’re glad you’re still here

Girl listen to this 54 year old telling you that no one ever starts transitioning too late. If it makes you happy, don’t look back.

It took me decades to get over my self hatred. But it doesn’t need to take you that long and honey you are doing amazing and you are stronger than you realize. It takes huge guts to come back and be here. Do not be ashamed. You are a badass.

That psychiatrist sounds like a fucking idiot. Fucking yikes. You are not a bad person but you need a better therapist. Keep working on it, mental health can take a long time to smooth out but you can do it. If I can do it, you can do it. 💜

So I’m completely out of the loop here, but why would you not be a good person? You were dealt a shitty hand, but that does not make you a bad person.

I can only sent you my hugs, we are here for you, unconditiobally. If you need to vent, talk or just Chat about all the important nothingness I am here for that.

You do not take up anyoneS space, this space is specifically for you to use as it is for everyone else who needs it. There is plenty Space for us all. I am happy you are still around!

love, please allow us to be present for you. i don’t want you gone anywhere, even if it’s not up to me to decide (your choice).

you will always be :

• a woman
• a woman
• a goddam beautiful woman
• valid
• loved
• heard
• expected here

you are a wonderful person and i am utterly shocked and angry beyond sanity for what the psychatrist dared to told you !

i am tempted to ask for name and shame the fucker here, but itd be better to tell to a local group nearby your location so that she cannot harm anyone ever again.

I did not realised you erased your real account. I don’t think anybody on blahaj hates you, and you are not a bother. You are giving activity to the community and without you and my precious little bitch, I would still try to repress everything. You are giving me hope with HRT even if I am older than you (your butt, omg) and that psychiatrist can eat all our shit combined. You are a sister and now I just want to offer you a big hug and sushi care with a hot beverage (chocolate, tea or whatever you want)

the world is a better place with you in it, keep your chin up. youre loved, beautiful and deserve to be with us together!

hug for a million years. ❤️

Im so so happy your alive. Also that psych is just straight up wrong and a fucking dick. How dare they say that to you.

You are valid and seen and we support you. It is never too late for transitioning and self discovery and blooming into what you want and are meant to be. We want you here with us, we welcome you here, and you can take all the space you need.

By the way: you are a woman because you are a woman. There is no other justification wanted or needed.

Edit: Forgot to give you a hug 🫂 you clearly need it

Welcome back. We love you, we love having you here. You are a good person. The only bad person in this story is that psychiatrist.

Luckily it’s not too hard to switch care providers. I don’t think you should stay with this one, what an awful person. Fuck that unprofessional behavior.
