Imagine being able to travel back in time and have a conversation with your younger self. What words of wisdom or advice would you share? What experiences or lessons learned would you want them to know about?

You're trans, idiot.

Buy Bitcoin then use your fortune to help fix global warming or something else for the good of humanity.

Are you me? It would have been so much easier if I'd come out like, 10yrs ago. At least I would have been on my parents insurance.

I'll throw in "stop being afraid of the furry community you fucking dumbass; they're a hell of a lot nicer than your current """friends"""".

I don't think I'm you, and I think it would have been harder for me to come out 10 years ago. The trajectory of my life would be completely different if I had, and my family that's cool with it almost certainly wouldn't have been as cool with it then.

Still, wish I could have gotten on estrogen WAY earlier for more effetmcts U.U Oh well.

Sadly some of us don't realize we're trans until well into adulthood.

Sadly some of us don't realize that Bitcoin (while awful in many ways) is worth a fortune until it's 10 years too late. 😂
