Gender Transition Begins. (1 Viewer)

I recall it has been for all the years of my life that I have had comfort in some aspects of myself, but even so, discomfort in others.
Some of these discomforts have stayed with me throughout my life since I was young.
I have found socialising with girls and women very much interesting, rewarding, and also atuned to my sense of being in a way men and boys just was not.
I recall even for a while I talked with different mannerism than was typical for boys of my age... and somehow listening to how men talk I couldn't think of myself very much growing into that.
And so I have recognised what should've been obvious to me a while ago... gender transition would be beneficial for my sense of self and would be in its support. I have recognised my sense of self is female in some sense... and wish to live existing as such.
And this is what I wish to make known on Christmas Day. It is a day when big things happen; the breakup of the USSR, the launch of the James Webb Telescope, and now this.
I hope you will give me advice and support regarding this.... and take it gracefully.
I know that there may be some people who claim to know all of me without having met me. I pass no judgement of my own to them, but ask that they take the time to understand.
Thank you.
 
Best wishes for it, take care of yourself and ignore anyone who doesn't have it in their heart to be supportive or STFU if they're not 🙂

Recognizing the reality about yourself can never be a mistake.

I hope the transition goes well, and your family and friends are accepting.
 
This is quite alien to me personally, but for a large part of my life I had friends and acquaintances of all sorts of genders. I wish you all the best for your journey and may it not be fraught with too many dangers from idiots. You will certainly find out who your friends are, but will most likely also make many new ones. (Film tip: Will & Harper. Excellent!)
