So I'm transgender. Yay.
Just wanted to get that out there.
I've known for a long time, but it was always something to deal with later. It never seems like a good time to talk about my gender, but I need to make an effort. Since it's been on my mind so much, and it's starting to weigh me down.
Last weekend at a bookstore I randomly picked up an autobiography of a trans woman. It turns out we went to the same high school a few years apart, so that's cool. As I'm reading it, I can't help comparing myself to her. If I had started my transition when she did, I'd be done by now. Or at least be at the point where I'm not having extreme anxiety about it all day every day.
They say the best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, but the second best time is right this minute. So yeah, I think it's time to get started.
