Did you have a tipping point between realizing you were trans and you started HRT?

As in, when you de oded to start, what did that moment look like for you?

I think I'm a point where I'm more interested in trying, but have a lot of fears holding back, which I think makes it feel like I want it less than I do.

I was talking to some others about this and it made me realize I think I want it a lot more than I thought.

Does any of that make sense, or am I just rambling? 😅

I had this sort of concern about coming out as fully fem, but once I made that jump, there wasn't another jump to make for seeking HRT. Part of this is because I was already going by they/them pronouns, but I just saw the decisions as one in the same for me.

I didn't think I needed hormones to be valid, I just knew I wanted them more confidently than social transition. There was a period where I wished I could HRT stealth before having to come out to others. The worst part is I'm still not on E 😭
