Coming Out
7 years ago
wosh u hands
So, I haven't really posted many journals ever. Because I'm no artist.
But, I finally moved out on my own again. That's one thing. I'm nervous about the future, but excited as well.
But more importantly. When I finally got started looking. I had conversations with friends about myself. And after 10 years of thinking of myself as a girl. Something else clicked, and made me realize I, ME, am a girl. A trans girl. So this is me telling folk who don't follow my twitters about that.
This will also be, sort of a log of my transitioning I guess?
12/20/18 - My first doctor appointment after that realization. I go back for my trans health visit in about two weeks. But it was the first time I've been called MY name in person. My chosen name. And gosh it made me so giddy.
1/17/19 - Talking to a therapist about gender identity, whee. (had the second visit, CNP "can't diagnose you with dysphoria at this time.")
3/19/19 - Been doing therapist visits. But today I got the professional referal/ok to proceed.
4/24/19 (so close to being a nice number) - Late update (7/9/2019 at time of writing) - Started on HRT, wooo
6/24/19 - 2 months of HRT, and yaayyy emotions started hitting.
4/20/2020 - Celebrated one year. Emotions have been A Thing still, especially since The Happenings started lol fuck.
Got my prescription upped to 6mg estradiol a day currently.

As a trans girl on hormones for about 2.5 years, transitioning and going on HRT was one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life.
I wish you the same happiness and comfort that transitioning has given me.
Thank you. I'm almost 32, and the realization was a nice thing. <3
