Hey.
If you are reading this, you probably have some strong feelings about your gender identity. You may have questions, or you may have a strong sense of identity and just wonder what's next. You may not even know the basics about gender. All of that is okay. The process is always the same.
The end goal is also always the same: a healthy, safe, authentic life. You deserve to thrive, and nothing you have done will change that.
First things first, remember that this new experience is the real you. Your brain will struggle with that for a while. Imposter syndrome is common, dysphoria (or euphoria) may come and go, and only you can decide what your gender identity actually means to you. If you should come to desire some degree of social or medical transition, remember that transition is personal. Transition (or degree of transition) does not validate or invalidate your identity.
You may feel a great deal of conflict about the dissonance between your body and the body you desire. Be compassionate in
