Any general advice? Don’t try x, or definitely look into y? Be aware of Z?

    Don’t expect to get gendered correctly by strangers until you’ve been on HRT for a while and are actually confident in how you look

            You just gotta risk it for the brisket. Go out somewhere dressed up as yourself and see how it goes.

            It’s funny talking about this now. I’m fully transitioned and have basically put any maleness out of my mind. I’m very lucky not to ever have anyone clock me

                I don’t think you’re overthinking. This is a very big decision! You’re fundamentally changing how you present yourself to the world. You’re becoming an entirely new person built up from the pieces of who you used to be. It’s huge. Time spent thinking on this is time well spent.

                You’re doing an amazing job.

        It just sets you up for disappointment. Boymoding is important especially if you live in an area that’s unsafe for trans people.

        Tempering your expectations and avoiding the obsession over your Dysphoria is important. You’ll get there in enough time. I think most trans people end up passing eventually, and most of those who don’t usually still end up happy.
