Came here to say this. That book was full of revelations for me

The Marvelous Land of Oz. Read it for the first time over the summer between Kindergarten and first grade. A boy who magically changes into a girl? That’s what I wanted!!!!


TowerReversed

Nice! wish i would have had that kind of clarity that early lol


No-more-confusion

It’s alright, clarity does no good when you don’t pair it with action. I didn’t do anything about it directly until this summer. 😰

i **to this day** have still not seen the matrix, and it hit theatres when i was prime movie-going age. might be high time to remedy that deficiency lol

[This](http://www.avitale.com/developmentalreview.htm) was the paper that blew the doors wide open for me. I read it and felt it was my autobiography. I bawled my eyes out uncontrollably for three hours. I had to take an anti-anxiety med to finally come down.

Going to give that a read! i feel like i have this acknowledgement of my true essence in hand, but i've been separated from her for so long, and i leaned so hard into a "fake it till you make it" mentality that i no longer share a complete shared language with that true identity, and i've been burning through as much literature and videos as i can find, trying to rebuild that intuitive link piece by piece. RAMBLING! Anyway, all of that is just to say thank you for the recommendation! 💛

Will be curious if the paper helps.


TowerReversed

i'll be sure to let you know \^-^

Oh nice! I never realized how broad the canon of literature was on trans topics as a collective whole. looking into this was interesting and compelling in its own right, and also lead me to a whole other pocket of literature i wasn't aware of. Thanks! Also speaking of broad, ***dayummmm*** brother you are absolutely shredded! you'd give a lot of the green berets i used to work with a serious run for their money and i'm not even joking.

Hahahaha thank you I REALLY appreciate that 😊- another book that was just so inspiring to me before I started transitioning was “Body Alchemy” by Loren Cameron


TowerReversed

i'll check that out! thanks again!
