I made the appointment to talk to my doctor about starting HRT in a month 😸

    It definitely wasn’t hard to make the decision. I knew I wanted to go on HRT shortly after I started questioning my gender. The year and a bit since then has just been making sure and getting the people around me used to the idea with mixed success.

    Something very important to remember is that everyone’s journey is different. Don’t think you need to fit in with the people who knew they were trans as a toddler, I certainly didn’t.

      A perfect answer as far as I’m concerned! I wasn’t necessarily worried about feeling like I wouldn’t fit in, but it’s still a healthy reminder regardless!

      I’ll keep sitting on that egg till the day I can face the answer with confidence :)

      Best of wishes to you! I hope the “mixed success” you mentioned was still quite manageable?

        Thanks. Yeah, fiancée while being supportive still took a bit to get used to it and my mom is struggling pretty hard with it but my brother is also trans so she is generally supportive. My grandparents are having a bit of an easier time with it but it’s still a shock. I am the older “normal” one. Haha not anymore!
