*within reason, please don't endanger yourself. but you need to take that step
One day I just had a fuckton of coffee and went in to an informed consent clinic and the fuckers transed my gender without an appointment!
I've tried to set up a timeline and want to be out of the closet by the end of next year.
I have hormones on the way, but I'm insanely worried that they won't make it through customs and trying to think up some sort of plan B so I don't just succumb to despair if they get stopped.
Always be safe, but just putting it out there that it gets easier the more you do it! I performed in my first show since beginning transitioning yesterday, and wore this really cute lace top, plus some basic makeup. I was so anxious to go out beforehand, but got nothing but compliments on it. All you ever wanted is on the other side of fear.
I haven't worn a dress in public since I got sober lol
One of my favorite phrases that I heard in the last few years is:
The best time to plant a tree was 20 years go, the second best time is now.
This is true for planting trees, but it's extremely true for so many other things as well.
I spent over a year noodling, from finding out I was trans to getting hormones. Just do it
i spent between 3 and 6 years depending on if you count me realizing i was trans before immediately repressing for another 3 years or not
Huh, I always just assumed how I managed things was not the way to go about things. Not that I really spoke to anyone about it, but that's just how I presumed the community felt (as I am fairly separated from any online community except this one).
For example, I started HRT within 2 months of my egg cracking. Mind you that I had legitimately been plagued by the thought of being trans for at least 3 or so years prior, and unidentified dysphoria for...20 years, but I always thought I got on hormones way too quickly. Hells, I also started presenting almost immediately afterward as well. I felt comfortable for once with how I looked. Sure I was uneasy as hell, but I felt fucking great.
Sometimes I think that maybe I should've waited a while before getting started on HRT, but looking back on things, I definitely made the right call. I'm living easily the best years of my life now. Aside from my wife, I don't think I've ever been so sure of anything else in my life before.
Also, I feel like I overshare on here. I apologize. Don't mind me if I just ramble on. Just ignore me =w=
no i appreciate it. i wish i'd been as quick to the draw as you, i would have been a lot less miserable for that time
