theres some downsides to being a community 'elder' and organizer but yeah its generally better. i feel all the compounded knowledge and meeting new people really helped me get out of my shell

big downsides, warning very sadthe big thing with knowing so many trans people and helping so many people is that invariably some do not make it for a variety of reasons, mostly societal. the cabal (a thing i joke about, but a bunch of trans elders that are vaguely all aware of each other and can ask for help through the grapevine for people) tries very very hard to make sure people get what they need if they ask for it

It's a lot of the same ups and downs as being a substance abuse peer. Supporting people and giving useful information feels great, but also it can be hard being around the all the same old challenges and brainworms that you've already worked through years ago. And yeah, sometimes really hard stuff happens. I know I can only "be an elder" in bursts. Every trans community needs at least a few of us to share the load.

spoileryea I don't know why I forget other people don't make it, when I've thought about that. That sounds really hard. I am glad the community supports you too.
