Well, it’s been a while since my last journal.
Today’s a bit of an occasion. Today marks 3 months on Hormone Replacement Therapy!!
Surprise, I am transgender. Or as I like to say, a transfeminine work-in-progress!

I’ve spent the last year figuring out what being transgender means by making as many transgender friends as possible, asking them way too many questions to try and understand if this is true for me. And I’ve met some incredibly gracious and beautiful people and I’ve learned so much.

Currently I’m still very early on my journey. I still appear pretty masculine (though I’ve been trying to lean into the femboy ideal for a while). I’m still undergoing lots of changes. I’m going by all of the pronouns. Right now I’d consider myself to be somewhat non-binary, somewhere on the gender spectrum between the middle and female.

But I guess the biggest thing for me is I’ve embraced the unknown. There are things I was scared of in the past, things I’ll probably be scared of in the future. But ultimately every revelation and change has been positive and I feel more comfortable and at peace with myself in a way I never was before.

And that’s amazing and exciting and why even though I still feel that I’m early in my transition, I can’t stop talking about it. Discovering my gender identity has improved so much of my life that I couldn’t keep it a secret.

So here I am. My friends call me Gal. And I am transgender. She/He/They.
