Anonymous User asked: Is there anything you can tell to early transitioners (14months on hrt, 18 socially transitioned) for comfort? Lately it's been hard, and I've been feeling like things are never going to get better. That I'll always be misgendered as something I feel disgusted as, it's a constant effort and I don't know how to deal with it.
To be honest, you're transitioning in such a different time than I did—and by odds you're in a very different place as well—that it's hard to know which of my experiences are even applicable. One thing that I think is broadly true, though, is that things change over time. Social attitudes change, the people you interact with change, your body and the way you perceive and engage with it change. You have agency in those changes, too: you can push towards an environment where you're supported and seen as who you are.
