Prompt #1 yesterday was "10 words to yourself as a young kid". Ten words isn't much. But it's enough to warn your past self about the single most traumatic relationship they'll ever experience.

Ten words is also enough to tell your past self that they're trans.

It wasn't even a cold calculus, thinking "if I change my past enough early enough I'll probably never meet him", it was just the thought that the gender stuff was the more important thing to say to a younger me. "You don't have to be a boy, hormone therapy - estradiol" would have been enough to set my young mind on fire years early.

I might have still met my horrible ex, I might have not. But to think of something else as more important to me than preventing my past self from falling in love with That Monster.... I must be healing?
