It's been almost a decade since I last thought about this. Maybe it's part of why I've been struggling so badly, why I've been very out of sorts.
I think it's time I finally committed to transitioning.
I didn't have really any support for it when I had thought about it so many years ago. The options weren't there, and I was only mauled with "you know how expensive it is right"/"you know it won't make you happy right"/"you're just doing this because everyone else is doing this"/"you do know you'll probably be denied right"
I should never have listened. I should have never given up on the idea. Would it have given me a harder time when I was younger? Yeah. But I think I would've been ultimately happier, and now I'm in my 30's, still agonizing over what I am physically. It's about goddamn time I focused on myself.
