So I'm off back to the gender clinic in about 2 months (I think) and I'm hoping they approve T as I've been living full time as male for a long time now. I got my name changed, using male bathrooms, etc. I'm really really excited and I can't wait. I've had a lot of worries and doubts in the past but I feel like I'm finally ready to start living my life.
The thing is although my family accept me as male and I'm pretty sure they see me that way I still always get referred to as "she" and I often get called by my female name. This always knocks my confidence. I see myself as male and I feel really good in that role but it only takes one little mistake about my gender and I feel bad in myself. Has anyone found that once they start taking T and physically changing that it's easier for family members to see them as male and start using male pronouns? Or have people found that no matter how masculine they become family members still find it hard to view them as male?
Also, and I know this question will have been asked many times before, once you start taking T how long does it take for noticeable changes to happen?
Thanks.
