It's worth pointing out that wearing a couple of more feminine items isn't going to stand out that much before coming out my favourite sweater was bought from Monki and clearly not designed for a man. No-one cared. It's a really cute sweater so I only got compliments.
The sweater in question.
So just find one or two things that "spark joy" to express yourself and ease into it. I am currently on the waiting list for the extremely slow and convoluted health system where I live. So I'm in a similar position. I'm waiting for HRT and beard removal to come out generally. And yeah I'm constantly questioning wether or not it's the right choice, but then I think about what my life will be like if I don't transition and I get a cold shiver down my spine.
I get that it's not a great time to be trans but you just have to imagine a future where you don't transition. Personally I would rather the voices calling me a freak come from outside my head. I spent the first half of my life miserable and have no intention of continuing the same way.
that sweater is adorable, omg ๐ป
I know right? It's a bit short in the arms but otherwise extremely comfortable.
