    Reposting this cause I posted in the last thread literally right before this one got posted. Some trans joy, so I wanted to share :

    Had my trans care intake meeting today and was referred to an endo. It went fine, but when they said that they were referring me I started crying 🥹I didn’t expect all those emotions to hit me at the same time idk I never cry, it just feels like my dream is starting to become a reality after years and years of telling myself I would just die with this feeling and never would muster up the courage to face who I am. God I can’t wait honestly

      If you’re anything like me be prepared to cry way more and in public even if you really don’t want to after E! And sometimes over stuff like puppies being rescued lol

          I wasn’t ready for it and downplayed the emotional effects, it hit me like a truck because the haze of dysphoria kinda dulled my emotions for decades - plus boy socialization told me not to ever cry, so I literally had no ability to deal with the fact that I now cried like a lot and in front of people. I talked about it with my doctor and shed a few tears and he helped me see it in a gender affirming way instead of something to be embarrassed about (something like “well women cry in public sometimes”). I didn’t have a healthy attitude towards that kind of stuff and I’m way more at peace with it now, and in the back of my head I guess it’s affirming lol

            I have a totally fucked up attitude towards crying I get sooo embarrassed. And yeH definitely feel you on the dulled emotions + boy socialization. I’m definitely hoping E lifts that cloud a bit bur I’m not holding my breath. Feel like it’s gonna be a lot of therapy stuff
