Being transgender

I came out publicly as gender-nonconforming in April 2017, and as Transgender in 2018. Since September 25th, 2018, I've been doing Feminizing hormone therapy, and it's been an overwhelmingly positive experience. It's a slow process, but there is absolutely progress.

Similar to many other trans women, I put on a strong Gender Performance as a man, or what I thought a man ought to be. Not so much by hypermasculinizing myself, but by trying to play the masculine role I thought I was meant to fill.
