I don't know what to say exactly. My emotions are intense. I feel like I'm alive. Like I'm human. I look in the mirror and instead of seeing a scratched out void I see me. A woman. Heck even a pretty one.

My community has embraced me, my partner has been so wonderfully supportive,my friends have my great. My family...well let's worry about them another time shall we?

I want to post selfies because (a) I'm cute now and (b) I want to be a part of the tapestry of this community just like our dear ones who post here often. But I'm just too sketched out about posting face on the open Internet for now. So you'll have to take my word for it that I'm real and not just a large language model trained exclusively on posts from this community.

Things are fucking difficult for us everywhere. The world feels so hostile but that's what makes pride so important. Love you all. Keep slaying.
