Yep. That hit right in the feels. Thank you, sister. It was beautiful.
Thank you!

Usually not into poetry but this was really good. Even if we're scared and in pain, knowing other people feel the way I do helps so much ๐
This is exactly why I decided to share this here. I've actually written this poem many years ago, and now I can tell you -- and everyone else going through the same thing -- that the wait is not easy, but it doesn't last forever, and (answering my own question at the end) it is absolutely worth it.
I've been lurking several months on Lemmy, but this was so beautiful that I had to make my first comment to thank you for sharing. This had me on the verge of tears at work. I'm currently going through the same things as you in the poem. I have my first appointment with a trans friendly gender therapist soon so I can start processing my thoughts and feelings about my gender. Hearing your experience makes me feel that much more confident that I'm making the right choice. Thanks again for sharing
I really appreciate your comment. I know the beginning of this process is scary and sometimes overwhelming, but you've already taken the first step. Good luck on your journey!
