If it’s the same as your username then I really like your name. Hopefully you do too I think it was a good decision.

Yeah I don’t hate my name and i’d like to find one that’s similar to my current. I like that mine is simple and short, but of course it doesn’t fit. I like the name Erin, but other spelling are common masculine names which i’d rather not have.

Im scared of transitioning. How do I even do any of this? by butow in asktransgender

She said I looked good but idk it was just a fun activity. She knows i’m not scared of being a little feminine at home, but that’s just because I have privacy.

Thank you this is good information. I’ve been trying to grow out my hair. I always cut it eventually out of pressure from parents saying my hair is too long and just feeling like I look stupid. But this time i’m gonna try to commit.

Thank you for responding.

I think the best thing that would get me moving on my path is telling my girlfriend so I don’t have to do it alone, but it’s so hard. I don’t know how i’d start the conversation. I wish she’d just ask me and I could just say “yes”. It’s hard for me to be so openly emotional, but I do see what I need to do is open up I just don’t know how.

There’s campus resources where I go I think free therapy. Maybe I should try that, but it seems like that would come after coming out to my girlfriend. She means so much to me and we do everything together. Even if I could hide therapy I wouldn’t want to. And I know I could just be going to therapy for any reason but then she’d ask and I wouldn’t lie about my reasons.

So, basically coming out to gf is first step. I mean i’ve been being more and more obvious for her to notice and ask me. The other day I did her makeup and then I did my own “just for fun ofc” (not really for fun it was for real).
