Hey, not sure this will help.
Basically societaly i have given 0 clues to others that I was trans. Always have been the person people expected me to be. And somehow, after my own revelation (at a drag show ๐) I was like. Damn but there's a community here actually. They do exist. When I look back a lot of things make sense about my own identity (maybe I do want to link some event to my transidentity but even then? Do I really need to convince myself? Probably a bit deep down.)
Everyone transitioning is valid whatever they lived. If "You" want to do it (I do put emphasis in the you part it is important). Then you should do it. It's ok not knowing exactly who you want to be. I was stuck a really long time (thick egg shell, but not only.).
Everything escalated quickly after that, even hrt, and well after 3 months and half, no regrets. I love the changes. It gave me motivation to change, weight loss through proper care (not easy everyday still), affirming myself, do things I forbade myself, knowing it wouldn't be "me" - the image I was reflecting the world - not my inner self.. To me it was a liberation.
Thank you for the kind words <3 I know I'll get through this eventually, and can't wait to see where it takes me!
