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.

I think it's one that some people don't or can't have. For me, I'm immensely glad my fear of being laughed at wasn't so strong, in the end.

Perhaps it's implied, but the greatest fear was of being an imperfect or unconvincing man. An effeminate man, a very short man.

Coincidentally(?), these sorts of things are harped on by TERFs. But they can't hurt me now. I'm short & sometimes effeminate. AND IT'S OKAY

Which Radical Feminists go on about height or effeminate appearence in trans men?
