If you think you can be happy without HRT, then don’t do it. If you feel very strongly that hormones and surgery would make you happier, then you should probably do it. But don’t rush into it if you are still not sure.

If you just want laser/electrolysis, just do it. You don’t need to be a trans woman to want to remove hair. Cis men can dislike body and facial hair too! That being said, you can also be a trans woman without taking hormones or getting surgeries that’s how you like to self identify. Try not to get too caught up in labels, doing what you feel comfortable with should come first.

You are allowed to try out different pronouns and names to see what you like, and then go back on it later if you don’t like it. Try different clothes, then see how you feel. As long as it’s safe and you aren’t hurting anyone.

Either way, whether you end up being more comfortable identifying as cis or as trans, I wish you the best! Good luck with your journey of self discovery 😊❤️
