Nowhere along the way did we think, maybe a rice cooker is ok just being a rice cooker

I don't know who all needs to hear this but the #1 priority of transition should be to find yourself.

It's not to be girly or manly (i.e. convince yourself) or to pass (convince others), it's to find and become yourself. Once you find yourself, the rest will come. 💜

But, Faith, I don't know who myself is! You know what? Neither did I. When I first sat in my therapist's office, she asked me what my gender identity was. (I think she was pretty new to working with freshly cracked trans people.) I thought for a minute and then said, "I don't know. I don't really feel like I have a gender identity. I don't feel like I have much of an identity at all."

What you don't want to do is to just construct another mask that's no more genuine than the AGAB mask you wore before. You suffered because of how badly that mask fit and how much mental and emotional energy it took to maintain it. You fought with friends, family, and even yourself to be able to finally take it off. Why immediately put on another one? Why do that to yourself again?

Finding yourself is a long, hard process but it's ultimately worth it. Everyone's transition is different and I can't tell you what that looks like for you, only what I experienced and did. But from my experience, finding myself was both the hardest and most rewarding thing I've done in the last few years, possibly in my whole life.

And before you get all wrapped up in "OMG! I have to find myself! How do I make sure I find myself right?!?", stop. It'll be okay. Don't rush it. Just be intentional about doing what you want to do, the things that make you happy. Catch yourself whenever you start getting too restrictive. Be okay with being a little silly. Your inner child is still a child after all. They never really had the chance to grow up. You need to be the gentle parent that protects them but also gives them the room to run and be the kid they never got to be.

Eventually, you'll get to meet them. One day, they'll even take over. In my experience, it both took forever and happened without me noticing.

Most of all, patient with yourself. 💜

UPDATE: We now have a forum

I like #Nix, I do not like what has happened to it. #NixOS is an incredible technology and it deserves better. Nobody else has started the process so I guess I have to be the one to do it. We are forking. I would rather try and fail alongside all the people who love Nix but were pushed away from the project than give up.
