#+title: Being transgender
I [[id:bd399ef9-9cc0-425c-8fc3-edf313a676f2][came out]] publicly as gender-nonconforming in April 2017, and as [[id:52380883-51c6-4736-8dfb-794ce19d54e2][Transgender]]
in 2018. Since September 25th, 2018, I've been doing [[id:47ba16c3-6f29-4d66-8d0d-1d5dee2de36a][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 [[id:300b7d95-990c-4f61-99ca-42e6b7123c2c][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.
