I am a 19 year old trans woman, i feel like my dysphoria really started at 16 but I always hid it because I didn’t wanna seem like I was copying my older sibling who is also trans, I started hormones 8 months ago and have felt better as my body has changed, but sometimes all the other things that make me depressed make me second guess myself, I have a therapist that I talk to about this and he diagnosed me with gender dysphoria. One of my main goals is to pass, I generally don’t understand the people that “transition” and keep stuff like their facial hair or just decide to not medically transition (unless they are actually unable to).

Overall I’m just worried I’m copying my older sibling without realizing, but regarding hormones I don’t want to stop as I feel they have really helped me feel better with my body.
