Three years ago I came out as Nonbinary trans Femme. One year ago 3/19/2024, I started feminizing Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). Lowering my testosterone & increasing my estrogen production, for those who don't know. These days, I mostly just view myself as a woman.
Like a lot of trans people, I came out as nonbinary first. Dipping my toes in the waters of gender non-conformity. Also like many trans people, I questioned if I was "trans enough" for HRT. I would think things like: "Do I even have dysphoria" & "I don't have it as bad as other trans people". I thought I wasn't deserving, I didn't think it was a necessity to me like it was others.
I had already gotten prescribed my meds, and had already started taking my Spironalactone (anti-testosterone). But I remember pacing nervously to actually take my estrogen. I pushed myself to finally just do it.
A year later, I wonder why I didn't do it sooner. I wish, I had the language, knowledge, & self understanding when I was younger so I could have started then. More than I ever have before I feel the most myself. I love my body more than I ever have. I love my soft skin, I love my hair, I love my chest, I love my tummy, my face, all of it. I've loved creating stronger friendships with women than I ever have in the past. I love how more connected with my emotions I feel & I love that I feel less inhibited to be myself.
Thank you to the many amazing people who have supported me during such a drastic change in my life. Thank you to all my best friends, who are mostly men, for always being my brothers & for accepting me as your sister. Thank you to all the amazing women I've met over the last few years who welcomed me lovingly to womanhood & have looked out for me ππ€.
p.s. do you know how nice it is to look in the mirror everyday & think "look at that cutie" π₯°
