Done. I take it easy though. I just wear the clothes I like, use preferred pronouns, dye my hair, and correct people who misgender or deadname me. I have greater ambitions in life beyond the transition so I don't spend much time or effort on it (no voice training sadly). It's been 6 years since I discovered myself in this way, and I still haven't taken any drugs or supplements because my granny died after taking estrogen for her menopause and I don't want to tempt fate.

Cosplay is one of my goals, it's a drag because pattern drafting and sewing takes so much time.

Kinda big win over the past 8 months I relearned how to talk about myself in Russian in the feminine grammatical gender which removed the gender dysphoria associated with speaking Russian.
