As far as I’m concerned this is a free speech comment section. Just don’t forget the people who might be reading this and the beelaw.

    Thanks for this topic! What has been the most unexpected part of transitioning for you? What part was most uncomfortable? What part made you happiest? What parts of transitioning might be surprising to cis women?

      You’re welcome.

      The most unexpected part must be the freedom I’ve found.

      I started because I felt sad that I’d never be able to go to the store as myself. That my entire life would be online or alone out hiking. So you see I was just trying to alleviate the sadness.

      And I think that’s what a lot of people see when they see me. This suffering. But actually transitioning is a great thing. Suddenly you have all this freedom and a sense of relief.

      Finding friends and love has become easier too.
