I've had some TERFs in my mentions, so I'm going to write a small thread on how embarrassment and self-hatred kept me from transitioning.
-
I held all that inside because I was embarrassed, and I didn't want to be laughed at, and I was ashamed.
The most freeing moment of my life was when I finally had the thought that no one was stopping me from transitioning but me.

I literally stopped dead on the street with the thought "I could just say I was trans and transition. No one could stop me or say I wasn't."
-
It was many months after that that I decided to go forward, but giving myself permission to just be trans if I was trans was a breakthrough.
