To the person that just posted about wanting to start E. You absolutely should if you really want to🫶 If it takes you time to be ready thats absolutely fine it’ll be there once you’re ready. I took a few months to feel ready and now I’m 5 months on E ❤️

It took me years to get on T (came out at 16, started T at 20). I knew I wanted it I was just too scared to start the process. I’m now like 8 months on T and I’m so glad I did it. There’s no shame in waiting, but if you’re ready then go for it! ❤️❤️

I had doubts going into it but after I made the decision to start they all went away. It took me a few months to get to that point but now I just feel so glad I made that choice. The changes I’ve seen so far are all amazing. I feel like I’m finally working towards being who I really am. It takes time to see results but even as I am now it’s still just a huge sense of safety compared to how I felt before.

Took me a few months to get to the point where I was ready to start that is lol. It didn’t take nearly as long to know it was the right decision after I actually did start.

Sometimes it takes time. I figured it out at 18 but I had to wait another two years to start hrt due to burnout and being unsure about whether I actually wanted it. I eventually went to a gender therapist for a while and talked it out with them and that definitely helped. It was just a big change lol so there were some things that just felt too different than what I was used to I think. I’m literally so glad I started E now though. I already feel just. Safer honestly.

Also we are about the same age and started at about the same time lol that’s funny.

That’s pretty cool. I also started pretty soon after a close friend of mine and that’s what gave me the confidence to do it. Now my roommate (and lowkey best friend) is in the process of starting T too
