Hello all!!! I had been questioning my gender since the beginning of COVID. I did a lot of soul searching and remembering things from my childhood that should’ve been 🚩 when I was in counseling in my teens but I didn’t even know about someone being transgender. I had thoughts of transitioning in my early to mid 20’s, but pushed it away because I was in denial (toxic masculinity and environment). The pandemic and having a lot of free time gave me time to reflect and begin to understand things I’ve pushed down or aside. Summer 2022 my egg finally cracked and I understand myself more.

Since then I’ve started taking care of myself better, doing research, shaving more often, growing my hair out, and trying to explore my style. But I didn’t want to go that next step out of fear. Now I’ve been dealing with the dysphoria and depression for 2 years, I finally want to start seeing who I am on the inside…… I’m excited, nervous, and scared. But so happy I’m finally making that step.

I’m coming out to my doctor on Thursday and telling her that I would like to get started on HRT!!!

(Sorry for the longish, semi rambling post lol)
