Hey I’m new here!! :3

For context, I’m pre-HRT but have appointments coming up.

I’m curious. What do you do when you get pangs of denial? I have written dowm a list of logical reasons of why I’m a tgirl. But that doesn’t change the fact that sometimes I feel like I’m in denial of something I logically know myself to be.

Thanks, have a nice day!!

    You don’t need to answer if you’re trans or not. Do you think you’d feel better presenting differently? Try it. Think you’d feel better on HRT? Try it. Think you’d feel better going by another name? Try it. You can do all of that without addressing the big trans question; and if you’re not trans, well, maybe you still feel better presenting differently for instance, so trying’s still a net positive.

    I told myself this to allow myself to do things, and eventually the trans question answered itself for me. But that didn’t really matter, because regardless of the answer I was better off for trying things and learning about myself.
