After a few tumultuous weeks, I think things have calmed down for the moment. This would be my second attempt at the entire transition business. I had stopped before for a relationship, now defunct beyond repair. I had spent about 6 months on hormones, 1 year on blockers, and I don't know why, but I remembered I was being read as female by people even though no female clothes, no makeup, and even basics like thick eyebrows and facial stubble were still there. Although I have gained about 50 pounds between then and now, and losing that weight would be grand.
So here it goes, I suppose.
PS. Does the verification thing ever go away after a certain post count?
