The scarlet letter was her passport into regions where other women dared not tread. Shame, Despair, Solitude! These had been her teachers, stern and wild ones, and they had made her strong, but taught her much amiss.

My best friend, who I've known since we were both in 10th grade 40+ years ago, began transitioning last year. I live on a coast, she lives in the midwest, but we talk every week, and since she began her transition, I've never heard her sound more confident and positive about her life and her future. I asked her if she had any regrets, and she said only that she'd waited so long.

My best friend told me the best thing that happened to her, was that her friends immediately forgot her deadname and used the correct pronouns without any hesitation.

People are very complicated. I am a cis guy, but I give no shits to what people want to use as my pronouns. He/she/it...whatever. I know I'm a guy, so what people call me doesn't matter. But, my best friend in the world, for the last 40+ years, recently transed into her real gender, and I make sure to use the right pronouns with her because it makes her happy and comfortable, and she is my bestie. People are complicated and different, and awesome because of that.

I grew up in the Roma cuIture (weII, one of the Roma cuItures, there are huge differences between different tribes and even different cIans), do you want to hear about some gender stuff that does, but aIso does not, fit under what we wouId caII trans today? PreferabIy without any judgement of course

I want to be less of an idiot about cultures I have never had contact with; any and all Roma information would be appreciated.
