Unscramble the Blue Letters

TM: I didn't know what kind of love I neeedd. I had just come out of a year-long fog of being retcejed and utterly dltpeeed. I had someone look me in my eyes and tell me that I was unworthy of their love because I was trans. And there's a culture of lovelessness that we've created around transgender people. It's reasoned, justified and often signed into law. And I was a heartbeat away from internalizing that megasse, that I wasn't worthy. But Kim said that I was her ideal — the heartbroken mess that I was.
