Hi all,
So, I'm MTF, and I'm transitioning here at my university. Since my university is very populous, and I also work in the service industry here as a part-time job, I deal with a lot of people. So, I get the privilege of learning about how the world perceives me, and more often than not, I absolutely hate it.
The thing is -- since commencing my transition, I've become super, super confident in myself, and I love it a lot. I look in the mirror a dozen times a day and just smile because what I see is essentially a girl looking back at me. i want to stress that I really like how the hormones are affecting me all over, yet this confidence is entirely broken by the end of the day because I'm "sir'd", "bro'd", and "man'd" at least once every day. It really makes me question whether or not I even have reason to be confident in myself yet. Has anyone shared this experience?
If so, I could use your advice because it's pretty hard to deal with. I also want to mention that I don't present as female yet, but I mean, a lot of females could present as I do and would get gendered correctly, so it's pretty hurtful.
Thanks,
Alison
