Trans girls are girls.
7 year old woke me up this morning at 5:00 because she was having a nightmare. She kept apologizing, and I said "at some point you're going to be older, and you're not going to want to come to me when you're scared, but for now I want to enjoy being able to make you feel better as long as I can."
