Expanding on the title: I got my first prescription for hormones today (a SERM and an antiandrogen!) and while there is great hope and joy, I also find the prospect daunting. I am wondering what types of photos, physical objects, etc. other people have appreciated having for themselves. Maybe they mark how far you've come, where you hope to be, or what it means to be you through it all

heart-sickle Thank you in advance and I love you

    I am still pre transition,

    spoiler possibly upsetting, although right now I personally am happy about it
    bullying of a trans person, me

    But I just found one of the last bracelets I made before I stopped wearing them because I got made fun of for being "girly". After processing everything (I think) about all of it I feel so good about it and where I am going. One of my treasured possessions now. It reminded me of my very early experiences with doing something "girly", it reminded me about some gender euphoria I felt as an egg as a teen, and is with me now as I look to transition.

    Meant to post something about this in the mega later but here it is now. I'm happy about this btw (so don't worry, not a sad story, because of the ending!)

    Also yes I am taking notes on everyone's answers for myself.
