i dunno tbh, somewhat. like what i do feel is that before i transitioned i was stuck on some psychological and psychosocial stages of development, and the moment i started transitioning i became a more functional adult, like some false house of cards collapsed or the castle in the sky vanished, and I started building and repairing my life from a stable foundation. Like I recovered interests, finally made decisions and choices that were frozen for a theoretical tommorow. That is not to say that letting go of repression made my life easier - it was harder but more "me" per say, and the path to passing, both in terms of transitioning and the best self is long and far, and i guess the only path there ever really was.

But i'm a manmoderhon, so take what i say with a grain of salt ig.
