Wow, this is a no-holds-barred personal exploration that just jumps off the page. I've been reading you for a long time, not since your earliest Tumblr days but long enough to remember many of the stages you're talking about.

This piece doesn't feel quotidian to me, and I don't imagine it does to very many other people. I think this writing is as important as it is immediately impactful.

Don't underestimate the importance of humanizing queer existence. And that, my friend, is what you just did. Powerfully and clearly.
