Personally, I went to therapy on Friday and my therapist said "we are in crisis mode". I'm still new to my transition and even though that language is scary, it was very affirming to recognize that - yes - I'm scared and uncertain and learning a lot of things all at once. My life is changing. She also said "get used to feeling uncomfortable", which is so hard for me. But her recognition of some hard facts about my current situation grounded me and gave me a courage to try some more daring things as part of my pre-HRT transition.

I am a woman.
