βComing out is scary and messy. Not everyone will react well, but some will surprise you. Your journey is yours, and you don't owe anyone an explanation. Take your time. And find at least one person who sees you for who you are. They're out there.β
βReading this late at night? I've been there. Two years ago, that was me. Starting HRT, every single day. Now I sleep most nights. It changes. It really does. Be gentle with yourself.β

βI was 57 when I started telling people. You might be younger, you might be older. It doesn't matter. The first person is the hardest. For me it was my brother. He didn't say much, then called two days later to check I was okay. That was enough. You don't have to tell everyone at once. One person is a start. And if it goes badly, that is not the end of your story. You are still here, still yourself. Keep going.β
