I've been seeing some concerning content floating around today, so I want to let all my trans siblings know that you do not need to medically transition to be trans. You are the sole arbiter of your transition. Nobody can define you or your gender except for you.

Hormones and surgery are wonderful options that are available for those who want them, but they are not required. This fact was the last piece of the puzzle for me and my transition, so I hope that this information can bring comfort to others like me. You are regardless of the steps you take in your transition.

P.S. Passability is an inherently harmful concept. We need to unlearn it and evolve past it for the sake of women everywhere, both trans and cis.
