Shifting point of view from "I want to be a woman" to "I am a woman"?

That's how I'm going to approach it moving forward. Even with my therapist I just use male pronouns and names because it just doesn't feel right, like I haven't "earned it" yet almost. I think part of it as well is that I don't want to taint the association, by linking feminine phrasing or names with what I currently look like.

I relate to this.

I'm there and it happened fairly rapidly. Yes there was affirmation from others and the world around me for sure, but also i just had this goal to not think of myself as anything other than what i am.

I too feel like a blob I guess is a good way to describe it or like a ken doll from the barbies where you have no gender but  want to look male soon. It hit me when the food delivery guy walked by us and said "Hi ladies" And I looked at my mom
and said "Yep I am still a lady... I am a lady..." It kinda bothered me but my head thinks I am a boy when I am not a boy yet not even close haven't started on T yet but plan to soon. Getting a bit of dysphoria when it comes to my breasts lately never did before now. But I have another therapist session in October and I hope to get on T soon.
