This is wonderful. I've been having a lot of issues with dysphoria lately, so it's nice to hear positive stories about trans women. I know that this isn't world-changing, nor is it a gigantic victory - but it is a small victory, and a move towards acceptance, and that is enough.

Sayeth Max Ehrmann,

    With all of its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.

Most of the time I don't believe it, but sometimes it's nice to hope that it's true.
