I wouldn’t have been able to come out as myself without the many who walked this path before me. It took truly experiencing the trans community to really break through and help me understand the possibilities, the truth I had ignored for so long and never really had the words for before then.
I think that’s true for a lot of us. There’s someone out there who probably doesn’t realize it, but they, in some way, showed someone that transitioning is an option, they’re not alone, there’s terms, and people who can understand how they feel. Be it seeing someone living their life, to being a faceless stranger on the internet that happened to click the right link and know the right things to type, anyone can help open the door.
I definitely relate to that too! I’ve always known that trans people exist but it seemed so scary and I thought I’d be better off just living as a guy than trying to be what I thought wasn’t a “real” woman. But once I saw what HRT can do I was immediately like “yeah, I need that”. And seeing other trans people just being normal and happy also gave me a lot of hope.
Had I known back then what I know now I think I would’ve started transitioning like 15+ years ago as a teenager.
