It seems like a lot of my life has been spent telling myself "it won't always be this way." Before I accepted liking women, or before I accepted I was trans..."oh, you just need to get older, then you'll love being a woman, AND you'll like guys too when you meet the right one, just wait and this will all be OK." When I came out as a lesbian "just get used to this and you'll like being female, you won't feel this way and it'll be great." Followed by three years of "soon you'll be able to move out and start hormones, just keep working at school."
Now it's "soon you won't see a woman's face in the mirror, soon you won't have boobs, one day you'll have a proper penis." When will I NOT be telling myself that it's going to get better? When will I actually look into the mirror and not see a girl looking back? I'm 2 years on T soon (well, for 9 months I was on an unstable dose and only had small changes...but still).
