I haven't even picked a name yet. I only came out to my partner a couple of months ago. I've been acting half my life already I can keep it going a couple of years more.
Basically neither of us are planning to stay where we are so my plan is present as male until we can afford to move, then it's new house, new city, new life. Not that we live in a conservative city, we just live in one of the more conservative parts of it and my pansexual therian kid already has enough problems at school. Without also being the only kid in class with two mothers, one of which is a giant hairy (obviously) trans lesbian.
My actual goal for transition is to feel comfortable in my own skin, and to be treated as female by the people in my life who matter to me. The last one is self fulfilling because if people in my life see that I'm transitioning and insist on calling me by my deadname, then I don't need to bother with them. Honestly most people here genuinely wouldn't say anything about it even if they have a massive problem with trans folk. Norwegians are very avoidant of conflict by nature.
