its been 5 years.
fuck.
I’ve wanted to transition for a 4th of my life now and I still don’t have enough control over my life to be me.
i would probably hate myself so much less if i had started hrt and transitioning when i wanted to.
rant over ill probably delete this post i just needed to vent im sorry
Just wanted to disentangle starting HRT from actually socially transitioning: the one doesn’t necessarily imply the other. Some people take HRT for years before transitioning; in many cases the results are not obvious for a long time, if at all, or can be disguised. DiY is safe and relatively inexpensive.
