Ugh I didn't think I'd cry this morning yet here i am. Thank you OP, that was a lovely read.
I thought yall might like it. Sad that OOP and Maddie don’t talk anymore though. But I’m glad OOP was able to light up maddie’s day <3
You might enjoy this:
I have several trans friends (am cis woman myself) and I take photos at a lot of local fests and I like to make an extra point to get really nice photos of the trans people in our community smiling because I think they truly deserve it, and it always makes me extra happy when I see them use my photos as profile pictures :)
I have a friend like the POV person and I will love her forever <3
What a cute and meaningful story. Those moments of feeling affirmed and understood are so important. It can be so hard to feel welcome to womanhood.
I had "I am triflingtoad aka Quinn . . ." in my bio for YEARS while I was in the closet. I think if someone called me Quinn IRL at the time I would cry
