I have so, so much to thank you for. Your writing over the past 2 years has given me the answers, resonance and clarity I have been searching for many, many years as a trans woman. It couldn’t have come at a more crucial time - not only because of our scary historical moment, but also for me personally, because I had just started HRT 3 months before reading The Third Sex. I knew immediately that it would be the first flame of a passion that’s going to burn within me for the rest of my life. Your words have made me prouder of my body than I could have possibly imagined even 5 years ago. I would forever be lost without it. Your impact has not gone unnoticed and I hope it extends far beyond your current audience. You deserve nothing short of the best moving forward.
I've also been re-evaluating both the form and pace of my engagement on Substack and elsewhere after nearly three years of nonstop production. Still in process. I really appreciate this reflection and look forward to whatever changes for you. xo
