    Yup, its just that I have a therapist, a pretty accepting family and I still don’t feel safe talking to anyone. It really makes you feel quite lonely…

    I do plan on starting HRT this or next month, but I will be moving countries in three or four months, so thats also a complication.

    Anyway, I will do what I can. Thank you for the thoughtful awnser <3.

      there are usually local LGBT+ and trans support groups you can go to - the trans support groups are usually full of early transitioners and people whose egg just cracked, so you might find some similar people there, or at least people going through similar hurdles

      you might also look for a therapist who is gender-informed and works with trans patients on gender dysphoria - that might make it easier for you to feel safe

      but ultimately, you just can’t really expect to feel fully safe, part of transition is that extreme vulnerability and putting one foot in front of the other towards transition even though it feels like you’re going to die if you do

      and yeah, moving might complicate the situation, but it’s just a temporary setback and hopefully you will find a way to access HRT in the new country

      Good luck with your struggles - just know you aren’t alone. Feel free to DM me anytime 🫶
