Hello there. My name is Lilith, but you can call me Lili for short.
I found this place a while ago in my research. I'm not sure where to start, or where anything began to be honest, I just know that I want to make a change, and I want to learn who I am.
I put off making this account, because at first I was still denying it a bit. When I first had my moment of realization, I felt so much confusion and instantaneous doubt. I made a mistake (or was it?) of trying to see how I felt as a girl. I started painting my nails, cross-dressing (slowly but surely) and speaking with a more feminine voice. I honestly felt happy, and cutesy and joyous when I did.
However, all it took was an ultimatum from my "family" to end that.
I recently started college, and after some time to adjust, I want to start trying again. After that talk, I was honestly afraid to speak in anything but a baritone of a voice. There are many things I need to work on, but I hope with the help of counseling, I can start to move in the direction I want to be who I want to be.
I close my eyes and I see this girl I am, I could be, and I want to be.
When I look in the mirror, I see something others are afraid of, and something far from feminine. I despise my body, and it's threatening shapes. I'm afraid of it, and I know others are as well.
I just want to match who I am inside.
So I guess what I'm trying to say is hello.
