Those really are the magic words that shattered the denial dam for me.
Because that was the major hang-up: “I wish I could be a girl, but I’d make such an ugly girl.” Saying that to myself and not realizing that’s literally gender dysphoria.
My wife and cousin telling me I make a very pretty girl in a genderbent instagram filter is all it took for a lifetime of denial to shatter.
Because for the first time in my life, I realized I could in fact be a pretty girl, and realizing that was possible made me want to cry.
edit: holy shit that was two years ago and now I’m finishing my first month of HRT. I’ve never been happier, not even close.
