The post garnered nearly 1000 comments in just one day from various supportive sources calling UsagiMimi "gorgeous" and "inspirational."

No, Reddit users. You're gorgeous and inspirational.

I saw this girl post on reddit, and I think she is an inspiration to all the other girls (and the boys) who are just needing a push to transition so they can also be happy & healthy.

Reddit is not only an LGBT friendly place for the most part, they're the trans friendliest place going that I've found to date*.

*that isn't exclusively trans oriented.
