Found a video on tiktok posted by pinknews from the human rights campaign 2018 of Anne Hathaway talking about a letter she got from a young Trans Woman thanking her for having the courage to be an ally and Anne states "it takes zero courage to love you" hearing that just made me cry at how simple it truly is to be supportive and to love others but yet there is so much hate in this world just because others are uncomfortable. I wish I had one family member or hell one friend that felt this way towards me. I hate feeling so alone being trans

Im (24) honestly so scared I am having surgery on the 7th and I have never had one before I have never even had stitches before. I have a big fear im not going to wake up. I deal with an extensive amount of mental health problems so i am extremely worried surgery will cause episodes. I am also worried about the pain. Only pain meds I can take is Tylenol and ibuprofen but even then I struggle alot with taking them even when I need to because of ptsd. Im already going through so much mentally rn i really need words of affirmation (no talk about god) and to know im not the only one who has been scared for this surgery

I 24 am in two relationships. My husband 33 and my boyfriend 25. Alot of the time I wish they were transgender like me so that I do not feel so alone. One day I told my boyfriend this and it made him really uncomfortable. I haven't brought it up since then but there is just some part of me that wants that connection with a fellow Trans person. I have no family, friends or even associates that are Trans or even take priority to be involved in Trans lives and learn more and want to talk about it with me. It makes me feel so alone in this part of my world

This past month during group therapy a lady was talking about her ex and the things he would do and say to her and how it still affects her after 15 years without him. It made me open my eyes to the abuse my husband has put me through. My husband 33 and I 24 have been together for a total of 6 years and for a good 3 to 4 years of our relationship he mentally emotionally and verbally abused me. He never put his hands on me but would break things and hurt himself in front of me. He has said the most horrible things to me from my looks to saying how bored he is of me. The past 2 years he has slowly made progress bit by bit on getting better and I've been glad he is changing but I fear he is only doing it because he is in renal failure. I was so ready to have to make the hard decision to leave last year if he was going to refuse to get professional help but he shocked me by saying he agreed with me. He used to be so against it so I'm just shocked now that he's willing to do the hard things to prove to me he want to be better he does said if at any point I decide I can’t forgive him or see a future with him then he'd understand me leaving that he just wants this chance even if he doesn't believe he deserves it he just doesn't want to lose me. I really want to heal our relationship and forgive him but I'm honestly scared of him. I used to be terrified he would hit me, he told me 2 weeks ago when I confronted him about everything in a public area so he wouldn't yell that he didn't realize I was so scared of him. For the first time he let me get it all out and actually actively listened and asked me questions about my feelings and wants. It felt so unreal that we were able to actually have a mature healthy conversation because in the past if I was upset or tried talking about my feelings or something he did he would end up standing over me screaming threatening me breaking things and purposely hurting himself in front of me. I was never allowed to talk and I started living fully submitted to him believing I deserved it and being in denial about how bad it really was. It hurts so much that I let him control me and our life for so long because I was so desperate for love. I wanna be able to forgive him in the future but I honestly have no clue if I will be able to because it all hurts my heart so much.

My husband 33 and I 24 have been together for 6 years. This past month I have finally stopped denying the mental and emotional abuse he put me through for 3 to 4 years of our relationship. It hurts so much that I let him control me and our life for so long because I was so desperate for love. He has slowly made progress into being better admitting his wrong doing and actually bit by bit putting in more effort to be better for me. But its all confusing in my mind because I was ready to just leave if he wasn't going to get professional help but he surprised me by telling me he wants to get a therapist and possibly even couples therapy. He used to be so against it so I'm just shocked now that he's willing to do the hard things to prove to me he want to be better he does said if at any point I decide I cant forgive him or see a future with him then he'd understand me leaving that he just wants this chance even if he doesn't believe he deserves it he just doesn't want to lose me. I want to forgive him because I see the progress he has made this past year but it still all hurt my heart so much
