I'm transgender and have struggled with it my entire life. I spent years using drugs to cope; I'm sober now but feel like it's too late to make any changes. I also work as a contractor, so expressing myself feels dangerous, I worry it'd be harder to get new client work.

I'm doing well professionally, but it all feels hollow and pointless. Like I'm just running in place till I keel over.

Thanks for asking, it helps to talk about it <3
