Over the past several months, I have seriously thought about the fact that I may be a transgender woman. I have told some people close to me. Some of them I know through left-wing causes/DSA and others are close. I have not told anybody in my family, even though I think they would support me.
Of course, as you likely know, there has been a renewed movement against queer people from the right over the past year or so, not that things were great from them before hand.
I admit, I have worn women's clothing in private and liked it very much. However, I also admit that I have yet to do it publicly. I just feel like I'm waiting for the right opportunity.
Explore what makes you happy and try not to take it too seriously. Very well could be that you come up with a feminine name and present in a feminine way with friends and after a bit you're just like "actually never mind this sucks" and that's cool too. You've gotta figure yourself out.
Or not, I'm not the gender cops
