 @c626eb92 It was...a monumental part of my development I think. It was the first time I really interacted at all with the queer community. I smiled at people and they smiled back. I got several knowing looks and I wasnt even that femmes up. On the way home she was driving cause I had drank a bit and I just started crying. 

Her - "Are these happy drunk tears or sad drunk tears?" 

Me -  "both 😭" 

Her - "Been there." 😂 
 @420f26f4 @c626eb92 OMG I am so happy for you, Jenn! :D 
 @3a6d7ce0 @c626eb92 

Thanks!  I just started thinking about how at home I felt and how right it was and it just hit me like a truck.  😊 
 @420f26f4 @c626eb92 Queer spaces are the beeeessssssst. 
 @3a6d7ce0 @c626eb92 I wasn't the most boyish looking girl there by far, for one thing. 😂 
 @420f26f4 @c626eb92 DO YOU BELIEVE US NOW, JENN?!? 
 @3a6d7ce0 @c626eb92 

Occasionally. 😉 
 @420f26f4 @c626eb92 I'm gonna make you a shirt that says "Dykiest dyke who ever dyked." 
 @3a6d7ce0 @c626eb92 

Maybe I'll wear that to the next event.  😂 
 @3a6d7ce0 @c626eb92 another funny story: guess who we ran into there? My wife's ex-gf from before we met! She drove 2 hours back to Columbia with HER wife to see Ani. Awkward? Yes. A weird sense of things coming full circle? Also yes. 😂 
 @420f26f4 OMG I'm melting at the adorableness of this. 
 @c626eb92 It was pretty cute.  She thought so anyway. LOL I guess  HRT is doing SOMETHING. 🤷‍♀️ 
 @420f26f4 Yeah, the whole crying thing, and having that be, like, totally normal now is wild. Like, I'd fucking cut myself to prevent crying around men. Now it's like

"Why are you crying?" 
"I don't know."
"Is it happy crying or sad crying?"
"I DON'T KNOW!!"
"Oh, that one. Yeah. Here, have some tea." 
 @c626eb92 Yeah, well...I want more of that. A lot more. 😊
