βI 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.β
βHello 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
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
βComing out is different for everyone. For me, my dad stopped talking. That hurt more than I expected. But some people surprised me. My brother let me in. A friend from class checked on me. The waiting list for the clinic is long, but I'm still here. If you're just starting, take it slow. You don't have to tell everyone at once. And if someone walks away, it says more about them than you. Keep the people who stay.β
