I'm coming up on 3 years on HRT, this October, and I find it almost unbearable to be around friends who knew me before. I'm 42 and there's something about using my authentic voice and being myself around them that hurts. Like I find my voice therapy and the way of acting that reduces dysphoria just stops. Not necessarily looking for advice but wondering if anyone else went through that.

I won't have that problem as I only have 1 friend left IRL! I can see how tough that would be though. I guess loosing friends and fmaily is one of the risks we have to take.

I'm around 4 years HRT and still not out socially so I know what you mean about it becoming difficult. It is starting to feel like I'm cross dressing when I go out in boy mode!
