I was looking in the mirror this morning without clothes on and feeling like a fraud about gender things.

But I told myself: if anyone else called any trans person a fraud at any state of their transition, *including* where I am right now, I'd be furious at them.

So I did my best to tell myself "that's unacceptable... believe in yourself so you don't perpetuate transphobic bullshit that harms others."

It worked enough for the moment at least...
