Hey everybody! I've been reading this forum for a little while, looking for tips here and there. So now I'd like to introduce myself.
I considered transitioning last year, but at some point my confidence with it was shaken. So I brushed it aside. The feelings, however, wouldn't go away. I'm sure most of you can relate. I spent the past year trying to find the answer with psychedelic drugs. Usually that works for me, but in this case, I couldn't find anything.
For my birthday, my girlfriend bought me a bunch of girly stuff: makeup, socks, nail polish, and a really nice wig, amongst other fabulous things. The wig is exactly how I've wanted my hair to be since I was a kid. Once I put it on, got all girled-up, and saw myself in the mirror, it just made sense. It made too much sense to ignore.
Combine that with listening to Bailey Jay's seven-questions interview on WeHappyTrans, and now I have the confidence to know what I'm doing is right. I had my first meeting with a wonderful gender specialist last week, and I'll be seeing her again in a couple of days.
I've been telling my friends, and they've all been wonderful and supportive. I also just came out to my mom a few days ago. It's a lot of news for her to digest, but she told me that no matter what, she loves me.
I have some more new things in my life I'd like to talk about, but this introduction is enough for now.
