I don’t have a lot to add that hasn’t been said. I just want to say that I used to think I’d never pass and used to deny myself all the things I wanted for that reason. Preventing myself from being overtly feminine made me feel more detached from who I was and less confident in my presentation. It’s hard to pass as a woman if you never present yourself as one. You have to develop your presentation. It takes time. It can be awkward.
For me being pre-op was the thing that caused a mental dissociation the most. I did struggle to rectify my anatomy with how I felt. Not that that necessarily is it for you.
