Hello. I'm not sure what to put here, so I'm just gonna ramble.
I'm mtf. At this point in my transition, I'm still looking for the medical side of things, probably to do it privately, despite the costs. I don't know how long that will take, which is gut wrenching, but hopefully I can get my first consultation before September this year. I had suppressed it for almost my whole life, only realising it's extent and effects after I began crossdressing, originally as a joke for a party. It opened the flood gates, I guess. Since realising, and beginning to explore and grapple with my dysphoria, I've begun to conquer depression and anxiety that has dominated my life for so long. This has all happened inside of 12 months. At times, I feel lost beneath it all. I wake up feeling sick and horrified, but now I understand why, at least. I've come out, and my friends are accepting. I'm don't talk to my family, except my sister, so that's not a problem. My sister is actually excited about it.
Besides all that, I live in the UK, am in my mid 20s, and I'm am art student, I hope to become an illustrator. I use my experience with gender identity and dysphoria to fuel my art; I'm in the process of making a short graphic novel style series of pieces about my experience. I find it very therapeutic, and I'm passionate about art, I love it.
I've lingered around reading posts and being nosey for a while now. I'm not sure what I expect to find here, but I certainly don't know anyone else with GID or Dysphoria, so. I guess that.
I apolagise for any typos that get through my check, but I'm on my phone and it's terrible at everything. Especially at being a phone.
