First time I put on boxers. I stood in front of the mirror and just… cried. Not sad. Just – oh. That’s what it’s supposed to feel like. Like my body finally got the memo.
Ooh. Easy one. What’s something you were scared of before transitioning that turned out to be totally fine?
(muffled) Truth. I’m tired and emotionally see-through right now.
Okay, my turn. Sam – truth. What’s a moment you realized you actually felt good in your body?
(They all sit with that for a moment. The TV plays a Lady Gaga deep cut.)
(Riley peeks out.)
(softly) Yeah. First time I wore a dress without shaving my legs. I thought I’d feel fake. Instead I felt like a forest witch who pays taxes. Very powerful.
