Wow, they both look fantastic! I'm envious of your skills

For me, the biggest hurdle was reconciling the changes I wanted to see in myself with the fear that they'd destroy the life I already had. I wanted to start HRT as soon as possible, but I was worried that developing visible breasts would cost me my job and my relationships with my family. I wanted to be referred to with different pronouns and a different name, but I was worried I would be "asking too much" of my friends, and demanding too much attention for myself. I wanted to fet rid of all my body hair, but I was afraid people would react negatively to me when we go out swimming, etc.

I found that I was making bigger deals out of these things than they really were. I am extremely fortunate to be surrounded by people who love me, and so the fear of rejection was really something I was just generating in a vacuum. I still have a job I love, and nobody treats me differently with a more feminine appearance and bra lines under my shirt lol. My friends were immediately accepting of my identity, and more than happy to call me whatever I wanted. And truly, nobody gives a fuck how much body hair I have when I go swimming haha.

These fears were things I just had to tackle one at a time to overcome, and it was really hard for me. In the end though, I am so much happier having pushed through them to live as myself, finally.

Woohoo! Congratulations, that's so exciting! Glad your wait is nearly over 🤘

Genius frog invents accessorizing

They look sooooo happy!

Thanks for posting the map! Looks like here in central washington, I am out of luck haha. Better luck next time, I s'pose!

SO true. I need my twelve hours!

Thank you! Yeah, it has certainly removed a looming anxiety from my life. Feels good to be able to talk with them about what's really going on with me, and not have to filter anything out.

I hope you had a good week, too!

I'm stupid and I was like "WHOA free sample eyeshadow at 5:00am? Where at??" And theeeen I got it lmao

My week was pretty good! I posted about it, but I came out to my mom a few days ago and it went pretty well. She sent me a very sweet message last night to let me know that her and my dad will support me however I choose to live my life, and that they love me dearly. Feeling very good about that.

Now that I have told everybody imoortant in my life, I'm feeling free in a way that I haven't previously. I'm living Unchained™, pretty cool.

Also me and some friends went and got gel nails this week, and they look lovely! Got my brows waxed, too. A good week indeed.

Hope you all are having a great one, as well!

Thank you! Yeah honestly it all worked out pretty well. I hope that it goes as well for you, when you decide it's time to tell people. At least with my friends, I made it into a much bigger deal than it actually was! They all treat me exactly the same, and take great care to refer to me with my pronouns, etc. It was very scary to do, though
