The Story of a Self-Made Man
"I’m afraid to know. Right now the fear of dysphoria keeps me from coming back, from anchoring myself in this vessel of breathing, living cells. But it’s also more than that. I am afraid of myself. I am afraid of how others may see me, that it may be so different from how I feel, from what I want, who I want to be. I fear that I am so far from that, that coming back will show me I may never reach there. Not just a physical appearance, but as an entire being."

A year ago, May 28th, 2011, I came out as trans*. The picture on the left was me a year ago and the picture on the right is me today. (ps. it is really fucking hard to recreate my signature “Everett” photo.) I am very proud of myself for all that I have accomplished in the past year and I am so happy with the person I have become. There were so many times where I just wanted to give up. I felt alone, isolated, weak, stupid, worthless, dysphoric, depressed, among other things. I didn’t know what to expect when coming out. I didn’t know that every time someone fucked up a pronoun or fucked up my name that it would feel like a punch in the chest; I didn’t know it would put me two steps back with my confidence. I didn’t know just how much people cared about me. I didn’t know that this transition would show me just who my true friends are. I had no idea the amount of things I could accomplish when I set my mind to it. I let no one stop me, I let nothing get in my way. I didn’t know how many people I would inspire. I didn’t know how many lives I would change. All I knew was that I wanted to be happy. And I still do. Today, I am proud of the man I have become. I am incredible grateful for my friends and followers and the people who look up to me, as well as the people I look up to. Everyone that has come into my life over the past few years has taught me something in some way or another, and I could never thank you enough for that. If you are at any stage of transitioning, please please please don’t give up. I am here promising you that it does get better and that you will accomplish everything you want to and you will be happy with yourself. Giving up and letting others dictate your life is so much easier, but I promise life will be much more fulfilling if you fight for what you want. Please don’t give up. Please don’t lose hope. I never thought I would be here today, alive, smiling, genuinely happy. Hi, I’m Everett and it’s nice to meet you.

YOU m’friend are pretty much amazing. Ily.

dearcispeople: To those of you who truly try, thank you. To those of you are are real allies, not just pretending to be so you look good in front of other people, thank you.
