ok this is to any of my fellow trans siblings who have ever felt pressured to “fully transition” (start hormones/get top or bottom surgery/etc): you never, and i mean never, are required to do any of that. whether its because you’re medically or financially incapable of doing so or simply because you don’t want to, you never have to make a “full transition” and your trans identity is still just as valid. to those of you who do a “full transition”, i am super proud of you. for those who never do, im super proud of you. we are all equally valid and wonderful no matter how our bodies appear externally. i love you all

I agree with all of this and would like to add that you don’t have to medically transition at all to be counted as trans - I’ve been out for several years and haven’t had the means financially, it doesn’t mean that I’m not trans until I start taking hormones / get surgery.
