I would choose the estrogen if I could but I'm still gauging family and friends to see if it's safe to come out
I wish there was a trans god who could magically change the bodies of trans people including me to their chosen gender identity so it was like they where born that gender
I have long given up on the thought if getting everyone to accept me. I grew up in texas. I am not trans, but I have chosen to start presenting more feminine.
This will be a very fun christmas when I visit because I have gotten to the point of no longer valuing any of that negativity. It turns out when you are an adult you can just say “that’s a shit opinion you shouldn’t share” and move on!
It’s especially effective if you don’t even let it affect your tone. Being cheerful and being myself seems to infuriate my mother in a way that makes her show her ass, so I’ll just let her do that.
My parents aren't right wing and hate filled and I know that but I still don't know how they will react to me being trans and that's what worries me, will they react positively, will they react negatively or how will they react, this is what I've been slowly gauging them for
For other family members and friends I don't yet know their politics and how'd they react and I need to have a look at their social media
Theirs also a bunch of related mental health stuff that I need to figure out as well
I also don't live in the United states and I'm glad I dont
I'm glad you don't live in the US either. Shits flipping the wrong way everywhere here.
On finding their politics though, you can always find their usernames and just search those and see if they pop up in groups or sites that are anti-trans. Unless they're well versed in online privacy there are few who could actually make themselves much less visible online
