So figured I would post about the fact, that for once I feel happy and really good in my transition phase right now, maybe its being on the right hormones finally, but I feel a lot more confident lately and when I look in the mirror i'm starting to slowly see the real me, I don't really know how to explain it, its like I feel good looking all of a sudden and not hating how I look anymore or think I'm ugly and just happy, my muscle gain feels nice from the gym, work isn't bad and I have grown closer to some of my friends since transitioning (lost some but they weren't friends to begin with then). I know a lot of times we vent on here when are dysphoria acts up and we feel like ->-bleeped-<-, but I figured why not write about when we actually feel good about ourselves and where we are at, its a long road ahead, but at least the sun is starting to shine through
Very happy to hear that Ryan!
Little things can always add to our happiness like a new haircut, new clothes, passing etc. I know how you feel though, I haven't even started therapy yet but just getting my hair cut < has made me happier - still got a way to go but everything is improving and once you slowly start putting the pieces of the puzzle together everything feels better and makes sense. Congrats on starting T by the way!
Congrats Ryan! I am so glad you are getting there. Now if only there was a topic "Who's your FtM crush". ;D
thanks Calvin, glad you understand man and I remember when I first cut my hair, it felt so good, I'm happy for you too. Jessica thanks and you can always make one I guess lol
That's great, Ryan. I agree that we should talk about the good times as well.
I'm currently at a similar place. I'm happier and more confident. Even my friends have noticed. Speaking of which, my friends never slip and call me "she" anymore and I'm treated like the guy I am. When I look in the mirror, I am starting to be able to see myself and I look good. Overall, I am starting to feel visible.
