I wish that our existence wasn't so controversial. I've known since I was a kid that I should've been born a girl and I wish that LGBT stuff was far more common knowledge that is taught to kids. If I had known exactly was trans meant as a kid, I might not have taken so long to realize. I'm 30 and my egg cracked 6 months ago.
My whole life I've repressed everything and just lived so apathetically towards myself. I did not care about myself, my appearance, or my health. I let myself gain weight and now I have to deal with that. I finally realized why I never cared about myself and built up so much self hatred.
When my egg cracked, I was just like, it is what it is, I'll never transition, I want nothing to do with the trans community, I'll just keep on. But I've changed so much since then. I love interacting with the communities on reddit, and after I get healthy, I'm pretty sure I'm going to start hrt and do it. Red state be damned, right wing scaredy cats at my job be damned, conservative family members be damned. I want to be happy. I'm tired of pushing everything about myself and how I feel down, down and compressing it to try and not feel it.
My only concern is like a lot of trans girls. I'm 6 ft tall, I'm built like a linebacker, I have a huge head. I've seen some truly impressive and shocking transformations in the trans timeline subs. They give me hope that I can also achieve a figure like that.
Thank you for posting this. It's nice to see others like me, it's nice to see that you got to develope the way you should have. I'm too late for hrt to make some changes, but I'm still plenty young enough to do it and be happy while I am still young and as I get older. So thank you to all out and proud trans people, you're an inspiration to those of us in the closet, I think it's sooner rather than later than I emerge happy.
