Over 5 broken rids in 2 years of binding them.
Over 10 beatings by my peers for going in the wrong bathroom.
Over a 1,000,000 tears cries.
Over a 1,000 prayers not heard.
Over a 12 friends leftΒ Β because I came out.
Over a 1,000 fights with my parents on losing a daughter but gaining a son.
Over 200 cuts on my arms due to wishing I was normal.
Over 29 burn marks to wanting to please others.
Over 10,000 smiles when I put on my chest binder.
Over 900 recognition of me being male instead of female.
Only 1 life I live to be who I am in MY journey.
My stats on coming out I may add more later on.
