What is something you wish you knew sooner, or what is something that would have helped you earlier on in your journey? - eviltoast

Any general advice? Don’t try x, or definitely look into y? Be aware of Z?

    Alright. I will struggle to find the courage, even though I keep telling myself that I don’t care what other people think.

    It’ll be obvious eventually anyway, so the smart thing would be to have the people who’ll support me sooner rather than later.

    I don’t know what to tell them though, so let me overthink for a few days first. Still not 100% sure about being trans, but the new name I’ve tried doesn’t feel wrong, so there’s that.

    I should probably just start with saying that being a guy is not what I want. The people who I can be comfortable with this information with will be a big help in figuring out the rest.

    Did I mention overthinking yet?

      I don’t think you’re overthinking. This is a very big decision! You’re fundamentally changing how you present yourself to the world. You’re becoming an entirely new person built up from the pieces of who you used to be. It’s huge. Time spent thinking on this is time well spent.

      You’re doing an amazing job.
