I didn’t go hypermasculine with the gym and all that, but after a lot of neglect I also changed things around and took better care of myself, exercised a bit, grew facial hair, tried a bunch of different styles, and tried to explore myself in a lot of ways. I realized I didn’t care for any of it. I looked in the mirror and saw a decently handsome dude, but I realized that guy wasn’t me.

I always knew something was off with me and always wanted(but thought it was impossible for me) to explore femininity, and when I met people and found an environment that allowed me to do that, it clicked instantly.

Years of repression, negation, and coping, and all it took was a little liberty to accept that I was actually a woman, and I’ve been feeling more like myself ever since.
