From people who came through 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€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€œI 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.”

    Roberto from Arequipa Β· been through lgbtq+ and coming out
  • β€œI was in the same place eighteen months ago. A waiting list for the gender clinic, every single day. I've started painting again. You get yourself back in pieces. You're not on your own.”
