An affirmation for those of you headed home to doubters, skeptics, and concern trolls:
Your identity is not rooted in their belief, but in yours. Your identity is valid because you say it is. Whether you pass in your chosen life is immaterial to its truth. You are who and what you say you are. That you don't, and perhaps can't, embody your inner self is not evidence against its reality. I see you.
