Yes it can get very tiring flip flopping back and forth. And I really dislike feeling like I'm living a double life and basically lying to a lot of people. I hate lying because I'm by nature a very honest person.

I would "come out of the closet" right now and live more authentically if I could but I'm married and I want to fully consider the feelings of my wife. Protecting my marriage is important to me. So I cannot transition faster than my wife's ability to process things.

But yes I can relate to the fatigue referenced by the original post in this thread.
Born XX and married to XY.
I am gender fluid but live primarily in male mode. My wife knows about my gender identity struggles and we are navigating how to come out and be more public about me being trans.

I get being shy, I really do. I hope there are people around you that understand and support your true self, so that you can find your confidence.
