Reply To: Who do you like better, your male self or your female self

Interesting question! It’s complicated but I said both equally. I’m me no matter how I’m presenting but I’m happier when I’m presenting female, except out in public where I find presenting female to be stressful. Now that I’m trying to justify my answer I’m realizing that I can’t. I was terribly sad before I accepted that I was transgender to the point that I very much disliked myself. Not because my personality was any different but because I wasn’t being true to myself. Even when I was dressing as a woman while not accepting myself, I wasn’t happy. I mean, I would be for brief periods but then I’d get angry and fight it internally.

The best thing I did was tell my doctor I wanted to start HRT. Hopefully the wait isn’t too long.
