Good luck, Archie. Please do make as certain as you can this is what your spirit desires. In my case I had to speak to a therapist, not because someone was making me, but because I needed to assure myself I wasn’t crazy.
I must tell you I don’t consider myself trans as I feel my spirit doesn’t give a hoot what anatomic vessel it’s in. But I started with male anatomy and now I have an “inny.” Due to how our society works, and it has for a very long time, I crave presenting in female attire however you may define it. For myself, I don’t think I’ve ever been happier. The bummer still is difficulty with acceptance, but I try to remember we as a collective group, are not your average bears. We don’t want to fit into a defined societal mode. We want to let our spirits fully express themselves.
