Even though I came out in highschool, I truly saw my future when I was able to get on t-shots. Medically transitioning had a lot of bumps for me, and getting to finally see the changes I wanted to see was euphoric. It really helped me envision what the rest of my life would look like, where I could be seen how I am.
Having a therapist and trans friends to share my joys, pain, etc with along with seeing the rise of trans/gnc celebrities really helped me to see that I can be seen too and that I can have a future living as a man and being perceived as a man.
