The nice thing about HRT is that it helps clarify a lot of things. For most of us it just feels so right that the doubt falls away. There’s still fear and uncertainty about coming out and next steps but that’s more about societal bullshit that makes it lives hard.
That little inside voice though? She’s probably going to sigh a blissful breath of relief. For me it was just a hundred tiny things… just everything feels a little bit better.
Alternately the inner you might react with “nope nope nope!” However that little voice inside reacts, listen to it. Try and separate its words from those coming from outside sources.
It's interesting you phrase it that way!
The voice incide feels kind of excited about the idea(hopefully it's not just the adhd getting bored) I mean, it's obviously puberty 2,which I know isn't really ever fun, but there is some excited almost looking forward to it feeling.
The other bullshit is definitely a thing hanging over my head, but I realized recently, I'm fairly certain transitioning or not, some of these issues are coming up with my family eventually anyway, but transitioning will definitely bring up a lot of things sooner, and I'm a strong conflict avoider.
