How do I draw such a bold line in the sand as you? My pre-HRT transition so far has been full of compromises, slowing the pace, of course not starting hormones, and I’m sort of… Queermoding, like I’m visibily queer but not trying to pass, either, and going by a gender neutral name and male pronouns rather than just being honest. I’m in the east coast US, there is no safety issue. My Mom is my only family, and she accepts me, but makes me extremely miserable.
