I’m now coming out publicly :)

[Breanne]

I’m 29. My birth name is Steve and I was born a male.

I first started experienceing gender dysphasia several years ago. It increased as time went on. When I started cross dressing at home, I really began feeling like a woman trapped in a man’s body. I was to scared to come out publicly at this point, but at the same time it started killing me.  Three things I wanted to do but couldn’t was get my nails done, have facial laser hair removal, and the one thing I wanted to do most was go to a salon and have my hair curled and styled. ln private, I would continue to cross dress and started expiermenting with make up. I almost came out in 2017 when I decided upon the name Breanne and I went to see a therapist and was given a letter of recommendation for hrt. Due to financial issues, I never started on hrt. Those issues lasted for a couple years. I was still to scared to come out, but the dysphoria issues never went away.

A few weeks ago, my life started changing . I went out to a salon. I had my hair highlighted and styled with curls. This made me feel so happy that I went home, changed into a dress, shaved, and applied some basic makeup. When I looked in the mirror, It was then I decided to make the steps to come out.

This first step I have taken is I have a Drs appointment in the very near future to start hrt. The second step I’m taking is that I will start undergoing facial laser hair removal sessions next week.

Thank you for the encouragement and information. I know there are still some big hurdles coming my way, (like coming out to my work, family, etc), but that will come in due time after time on hrt. This is the first time I’ve publicly came out, but doing so has lifted a ton of weight off of me. It’s nice to see someone else in the same state as me. I can’t sleep because I got butterflies in me as I am scheduled for a telehealth visit with planned parenthood this morning.

It’s what you know is true in your ♥, you’ve always known. I knew when I was wearing panties in year seven. I denied my true self for years. But I always knew. So take hormones and get started.

I have yet to do that as well. I’ll do that in a few months when the effects of my hormones kick in. You definitely should go for it. My planned parenthood visit went amazing. I actually felt quiet comfortable without any anxiety.

I haven’t been able to post much the past couple days cause of work. Today marks day 1 on hormones for me.
