Did you have a tipping point between realizing you were trans and you started HRT?
As in, when you de oded to start, what did that moment look like for you?
I think I’m a point where I’m more interested in trying, but have a lot of fears holding back, which I think makes it feel like I want it less than I do.
I was talking to some others about this and it made me realize I think I want it a lot more than I thought.
Does any of that make sense, or am I just rambling? 😅
I had 3 years of twice weekly therapy focused on gender between realizing I’m trans and starting HRT. My timeline is excessive by most standards, but I felt that it was right for me. I wanted to be sure of my intentions and the outcome before taking the leap.
It was an intense exercise of identifying my true self and determining the best steps to get there. 13 years later and I’m still certain that it was the right move.
I’m a transman, hope it’s OK that I replied here.
Yeah, no problem. I thought about posting it in the general trans community.
I thought I was taking it slow! It has been a little less than a year since I realized. I think I’m in a similar place, it’s a big thing and I want to know that it’s what I really want. Also, once that closet door comes open, there’s no going back, which is really scary.
