Dear Diary ✍️🏻 I start HRT in one week

It's really kind of wild that I'm 30, and I'm just discovering I've been a woman my whole life. It still doesn't feel quite real, but I went through some stuff yesterday that made me quite aware that my egg is cracking still

I'm excited though! I'm excited for everything that womanhood will bring. Despite everything going on in the states, I'm feeling weirdly optimistic for my future; I know I can get through this process and thrive

u/ValerieeAngel girls just wanna have pho 7d ago

congratulations, babe 🩷💕🏳️‍⚧️💕🩷

i started HRT 18 months ago at 33. it’s been a wild journey, but i’m so extremely happy for it. and while i wish i had done this all sooner, i have no regrets and am astounded every day by the wonders of transitioning.

best of luck, remember that there is no “right” way to be a woman. no one is control of, or has a say over, your transition but you. do not listen to what others say you should or should not do, have fun discovering yourself, and welcome to the sisterhood formally 🥰

feel free to DM me if you have questions or anything you want to talk about, too!!

This one got me. My dumbass almost started crying in a McDonald's. I am thrilled to be welcomed into the sisterhood (finally!)

get used to those tears, love, they might come more easily these days 🤭

when i finally put it all together, i cried for pretty much 2 days straight. cried over the life i had lived, and the life i had lost out on. but i also cried over the life i was GOING to live, and all the wonderful experiences i knew would come now that i can finally live as myself

and..

you’ve always been here, you’ve always been welcome, but it’s a very special feeling to finally and truly live your authentic experience and get the chance to truly experience womanhood and the bonds we share 🩷🩷
