@nire @the_moth_reborn @rey if I can chime in here: I couldn't take that step for a very long time. for me somehow the big move was making that first appointment for counseling which basically translated as "I'm ready to do this now", this was last year. 2 months into HRT now and I can say that after the first shot all doubts have just gone away, it's just *right* finally and my body finally starts to be *my* body ... scary but so worth it.
