Is there anything that you know now that you wish you had known at the beginning of your transition?
Oh, wow. Plenty. I knew nothing about fashion or style, or makeup, or any of that typically "girly" stuff. I didn't know how hormones would impact everything from my metabolism to my mood (had I known this, maybe I would have tried to lose a bit of weight pre-transition).
Most importantly, though, is that I now know that things are okay, that they will be okay. I spent a good deal of my life trying to suppress who I am in an effort to be normal. Finally, after taking the leap, I'm seeing that an authentic life is so much of an improvement over a life of self-hatred.
