Getting hit with a lot of emotions. Some scary and some exciting.

My wife is being really supportive and we’ve been talking through all of this the past couple days nonstop.

Part of me is ready to shave everything and start HRT and feel pretty, but I’m also fucking terrified about how my world will react. It’s also only been a few days but I feel like a whole new world has been opened up to me?

I don’t know. I want to everyone and nobody so I thought I’d scream into the void here. Hope that is ok.

I’m so fucking empowered by all of you

    Girl, I spent time on egg_irl back when I thought i was some sort of open minded cis man. Thinking the memes were hilarious for “some reason”

    Even showed some memes to my wife because they’re “funny” but I “definitely wasn’t trans because of course not!”

    It went from idle curiosity - to being “a good ally” by better understanding the trans community - to “oh fuck this is me?”

    I remember feeling so sure I wasn’t trans and the memes were just quality content 😆

    I know hindsight is 20/20, but damn I was blind to sooo many signs through my whole life.

      Yeah that sounds similar to me 😂 at a point it was like “why are these so funny? Are they relatable?” and then remembered “you remember when you used to enjoy all the adhd memes and then found out why? Yeah…” 😅 then identity crisis for a few weeks.

        Damn it, same thing happened to me! Was diagnosed with ADHD in my mid 20s after realizing the memes were getting a little too real 😅
