Where to begin... I moved to the other side of the country, finally moved in with my boyfriend (he is transgender like me) and we're both so happy to be together finally after such a long time. I think it's safe to say I've started my transition. I finally can wear the proper clothing when I really need to (avoid the more feminine clothing when at college as much as possible until I come out to the class), I've told all of my friends and they all accepted me. I was so scared at first, not knowing what people would think, but I guess I was lucky to have surrounded myself by such caring people. I'm slowly revealing my true self and I feel so much better. I was always so sad, depressed, and anxiety never helped the matter. I still feel down from time to time because I haven't been able to go about making any physical changes (such as taking hormones, seeing a therapist to talk about the actual transition, but I can always just be me now. I'm so much happier and yeah, people get to me while I'm in public cause well, I still look like a guy, but in women clothing, but at least I can be me :3, anyone else feel this relief?

yes, every night/weekend or day off.  and now i wear womens jeans, mascara when i am out and about

Yep. That's a lot of unnecessary weight to carry on your shoulders alone. If you open your eyes, you'll notice there are lots of people out there that stand outside of the crowd and the more you see them, the more courage you'll build up for you to do it yourself too.

For me, that fear came from a lifetime of trying to blend in instead of being myself. I didn't want to disappoint anybody. By doing that I was giving them power over me and they knew they had it too, because they could see that I wasn't being authentic. I thought I was good at hiding it, but there were signs over the years that only made sense to them after I came out. Nobody deserves to have that kind of power over you.
