From people who came through it

  • β€œTo whoever needs this: A year and a half ago I was exactly where you are. A name change on all the forms, every single day. Last weekend I went to a friend's birthday and stayed till the end. You're not on your own.”

  • β€œHello from the other side of it. Two years ago, that was me. The worst part was a waiting list for the gender clinic. Yesterday I booked a holiday. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.”

  • β€œReading 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€œI 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.”
