Acclimatize

It still bothers me that some older trans people so under value themselves. I want them to be proud of who they are and have everyone around them see their true value. That this is often not the case is regretable especially when they fall for the trap of feeling less than. Asking permission from others to be who you are is no way to live.

No one can do that work for us except ourselves of course. We are each responsible for elevating ourselves and finding our dignity. The unfortunate thing is that human beings can acclimatize to almost any situation whether it's good for them or not.

So I ask that you reflect on this: hobby or identity and if the latter what aspects of this identity are you negotiating?
