From people who came through it
“To 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.”
Bright Daisy · been through lgbtq+ and coming out“A 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.”
lilymoon · been through lgbtq+ and coming out“Reading 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.”
Woo-jin F · been through lgbtq+ and coming out“I 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.”
