I've read more of the gender dysphoria Bible and between thy, my therapist, and some other comments around here, I've finally had a few puzzle pieces finally fit into place and thy finally Feels pretty good. Like, to some extent I've further accepted my transness and just feel more at peace thinking about myself. It's still different and difficult, but to a certain extent, I feel more settled into who I really am and it's kind of nice.

Definitely, I'm still terrified of how my state and nation is going, but, I do feel better about myself internally, and it does feel good.

Ngl, I've seen you all over this instance for months and just assumed you were already an out and proud transfem. I don't mean that in the malicious sense of putting you in a box, but you just read that way. Learning that you were still on the path towards self acceptance was a surprise, especially given your username. Then again, I hung out in trans spaces for a long time before I accepted myself, so it doesn't really shock me.

Yeah, ngl, been here since at least July, but that was a week or two after realizing I was queer and spent a while exploring the idea here but only recently got over a certain hump of personal acceptance and peace as opposed to internal conflict.

I was introduced to the idea and community via memes, some of which included the blåhaj and fairly quickly the pun came to mind, hence the name 🤷‍♀️
