I’ve figured out Iwas trans around a year ago. I’ve more accepted it 6-8 months ago, and fully embraced the identity a few months ago.
I feel like I’m able to see myself as a woman more often(presenting or not; probably the longer hair) but I find it hard to consciously switch names and pronouns since I feel like I still very much present masc¿and don’t look so femme, even if I want to.
It’s like, it feels somewhat in-genuine, you know? Deep, deep down, I want to be her, but also I don’t want the confrontation of, “you don’t look like a ‘her’.”
I just need some advice/encouragement. My therapist has asked multiple times if they should switch name/pronouns, but it’s so difficult face-to-face and not socially out.
Help plz?
Edit: I’m not sure how this ended up in the meme community 😅 I posted it late at night, but I thought I got /c/mtf instead
It took me like 6 months to tell my family new pronouns, and another few months to stand up and enforce it. I felt the same sort of not deserving of it until a few months on HRT (might be coincidence, as I’m also just overall happier and more confident).
