โHello 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.โ
โComing 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.โ
โI was right where you are in 2023. Back then it was married with kids and only now admitting it to myself. I laugh properly again. It doesn't stay this heavy. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.โ
โA note for the next person. I was where you are nearly four years ago. For me it was starting HRT. I've started painting again. From someone who gets it.โ
