*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.
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
