What is the most helpful thing someone has done for you?

In the trans community, it is still large an oral tradition. The internet has made sharing information a lot easier. But the best thing that anyone had ever done for me was to just be a mentor, to be a good example. And I've encountered a few women throughout my transition who had transitioned successfully and who were willing to help me or inspire me. Nobody did everything for me and nobody had all the answers, but just having somebody to hold my hand or take me out shopping when I didn't look that great or to call me “she” and “her” when I didn't look that great. Those things were enough of a support that I was able to make it through the hard times.
