putting on a mask again
I've talked about 'Masking' in trans identities before, primarily about the masks we wore before transition, but the reality is that everyone wears masks everyday ...
The reality is that life is full of masking, the difference is post transition you only tend to wear one mask at a time rather than 2 or more...
This isn't just about who you see in the mirror, or even about your Armour for everyday life ...
Sometimes we construct a mask carefully to give hope to others...
- work you
- 'i'm fine' you
- super cool and sophisticated nightclubbing you
- ' i'm so happy with my lot in life ' you
