An ancient fear has been reawakened. I was happy in my skin, with myself, until... I read someone's story who transitioned and then detransitioned because it broke them.

It's my birthday! I turn 35 today and part of me wants to celebrate, but another part of me is just cringing over what that really means. I am no longer in my early 30's. I'm in a whole new target group for marketing. My email is going to get clogged with new, different spam, and I don't know if that's a good thing or not.
