Hi, been lurking. Not really the type of person to do this, but since that's part of the larger problem probably should. And my gender therapist said it'd certainly be helpful. I'm 22, born a boy but always imagined I'd just miraculously get to be a girl when I grew up, and was pretty lucky in that I was spared puberty until my late teens. Since then, angry-denial-hermit mode, but coming out of it now and starting to patch something like a normal-ish life together. Started the therapist process in, uh, November-ish, and he's said just one more session before he sends me on to the endocrinologist (yay new standards of care). I've been kind of a taciturn, inhibited person since puberty (even this is all worded rather stiffly and cold, yeah), but am giddy at maybe getting to be an expressive and happy, genuine person again. This isn't really offering a whole lot about myself I'm realizing, but I loosen up after a while. I hope :\
ok should probably just post this before I stuff it with even more self-effacing
