Just came out to my cousin! Only extended family member to know. I told my sister a month after I knew, I knew she'd be supportive. Talked about it with my dad, he doesn't really get it but loves me and is happy for me. He's relatively old, and struggles with other people's name and pronoun changes, so I doubt he'll do well with mine if/when that happens, but that doesn't matter to me much. Haven't told my mother yet.

I came out to some of my closest friends and have planned to come out to a few more and my mom soon (terrified!)
I’ve taken the steps to get started on hrt, and I have some labs coming up this week.
Feeling a whole mix of emotions, and anxiety, but I know this is what I need to do.
Still gender non-conforming, still present myself as a cisgender male, still get misgendered both online and IRL, still get accused of "homosexuality" (I'm asexual and aromantic aka NOT Gay).
And the fact that I live in Morocco only worsens these problems.
I just want to be a girl 😭
I feel this
Allergies knocked me on my ass. First time in a long while I've actually had to call off work because of it; I woke up several hours after my alarms should have gone off, could barely breath, and had the feeling you get when you sneeze so hard your entire body aches.
The lingering heat isnt helping, every rain forecast the last month just didn't happen and the pollen and dust is just godawful. I'm exhausted and sick of summer. I genuinely hate the season.
The most normal I've ever felt.
