Ok I gotta get emotional on this one for a bit because. Well cmon

We all know sylveon is the trans pokemon. We all know it! I'm just going to say it!

But this comic SPECIFICALLY is so endearing to me.

Sylveon only evolves when you raise an eevee's happiness high enough. If that pokemon is loved well enough, you know it's going to become a sylveon.

The trainer. Gives them. A CHOICE. And the choice makes them so happy they evolve!!!!!!1

I've named all my eevee's Elliot (because it is known that Elliot is one of our most cherished Names). I always take Elliot with me to the end boss run. He's just. So important to me.

I'm a trans woman. I only came to the realization at age 35 (what can I say, I'm a late bloomer). I had to leave a profession I loved, move across the country, and get to a place where I was healthy enough to BE HAPPY. I had finally gotten on the right cocktail of antidepressants to get my depression and anxiety under control. And then one night, it hits me. Like a bolt from the blue, I'm happy enough, stable enough, healthy enough to realize there was still something off with me. And it was then that I allowed myself to interrogate my gender identity.

People can say a lot about trans folks. The truth is, I had to CHOOSE to see the truth. I had to choose to allow myself to ask the questions. And then I had to choose to go to therapy. And then I had to choose to actually transition. Big choices, ones that come with countless consequences. But I chose. And I'm happy enough to do so.

I am my own sylveon. I had to be happy enough to evolve.

You see that one? He's called the "heel." He looks mean and says a lot of scary things, but it's not real and he's actually very nice. When he says "I'm going to break you in half" you don't have to be scared because it's pretend. These two talked about this beforehand, and now they're playing pretend together. Can you think of any other situations that might be like this?

message to cis allies: buying your trans friend lunch will do much more good for the trans community than debating transphobes who will not change their minds publicaly on social media and making all your trans followers see how much people hate them over and over again

if you base your trans allyship more on fighting with idiots than supporting and loving the trans community you may want to rethink things a little. bc i tend to get sick of when my cis friends want to talk more about how many people hate me than anything else about my transness.
