Share some activities youâve been interested in doing but couldnât do because youâre closeted.
Transmasc, Transfem, Nonbinary, and Gender Non-Conforming answers are all welcome and encouraged here.
Yes, in my experience the only people in your life who really struggle are people who have their own issues (i.e. it never actually seems to be about you or your transition exactly) e.g. people who are closeted and who experience pain when reminded of their issues when they see you.
Usually even a bigoted religious person isnât directly mean to you, it seems like the Christians generally reiterate how much they love you and so on (but they donât want to talk too much about gender). In fact, I donât find anyone wanting to talk about gender IRL, lol. Anyway, itâs hard to tell how it will go - I think itâs also different if youâre a minor living at your parentsâ house compared to an independent adult. It also depends on who is in your life, and how they felt about you before you transitioned.
Either way, transitioning is like taking medication as a diabetic or someone with hypothyroidism - it really is life-saving and necessary.
