37 years young. Tomorrow, I’m finally asking my home physician to send me to a gender identity clinic to assess whether I have dysphoria according to my country’s standards and policies. If my physician does send me there, then within a few years I might get the much needed diagnosis and then I will finally be eligible for HRT.

MEANWHILE.

I have made a list of things that I can start exploring in order to feel more comfortable with the woman within. Gosh… Please excuse my phrasing. I’m so effing closeted. 😅

  • Hair removal - booked!!! Going on the 27th.

  • Perfumes - planned!!! Trying some out tomorrow.

  • Nails - don’t even know where to start. I have NEVER even given these babies a second’s thought. 😭

  • Wigs - I have no hair. If and when I get diagnosed, the state will provide a certain amount every year to buy wigs and they will refer me to a professional wig maker as part of the treatment for dysphoria.

  • Makeup - no idea where to start. Is there ANY other way than watching YouTube tutorials? Although I totally accept that this probably is the most effective way.

  • Clothes - am I just supposed to try on everything I find pretty? 😅🩷🩵🤍

    Thank you for your kind words! 💙 I will definitely keep in mind, that awesome phrasing: it’s a marathon, not a sprint. It’s like you saw right through me. I was in fact in a rush on the inside. 😆
