remembering early last year when I was still looking negatively on enbies -- because I thought they were all trying to reference awful 4chan memes or trying to be special or something
masto taught me that is absolutely not the case though
and obviously a couple months later I realized *I* am an enby
but seeing this come up is making me remember how I used to felt, and making me wonder if I don't deserve to be ... i can't finish this thought right now
@KS It's okay to feel bad about your past self. I know I've said a lot of things that could be harmful to trans people in general because I couldn't accept that I was trans and enby.
But things change, and we learn from our mistakes. Sure, there are times when you have to deal with them later, but you should take pride in the fact that you have overcome those mistakes.
You deserve as much love and validation as all the rest of us, regardless of who you were.

@KS I think a lot of people have had some very negative views on people who don't fit into nicely defined checkboxes, at some point before they started to understand themselves. I know that I certainly have, and it's not exactly something I'm comfortable admitting, but... it is what it is.
All you can really do is accept yourself for who you are now... Because worrying about the horrible things you did in the past is only going to end up making you feel ill, in the long run...
