I wasn't 100% out to myself until maybe a month ago. I knew, but I couldn't every say that I was a woman. A man who wanted to be a woman, yes, but couldn't say I was a woman.
In fact, it was an insult (by a fellow MtF nonetheless!) calling me a "disgusting fetishist", saying I "don't know what it's really like to be a woman", that "joining the military made her realize she was a woman, and would make me realize I was a man", and that I "don't know what I'm getting myself into [the transition process]" to make me finally say that I am truly a woman, and these words can't hurt me.
And thanks! Of course, like anyone, I wish I was further along, but I know it takes time, and I'm proud of myself for making it this far already!
How supportive! Sheesh! Everyone has their own experiences and feelings. Being trans is very unique for everyone. I too don't consider myself a woman, but in a year I might. I can get more into detail on that, but than I'd be seriously hijacking this thread because it would be a very long post XD
At any rate you be you, and don't listen to this person. They are obviously very bitter about their situation to attack you for being in the stage you are in. From the posts I've read of yours, you're a very caring kind person, and you deserve the same from your friends! <3
Proud of you and your progress keep your chin up girl!!
