It's far from overnight

My view on transition is that the more you bought into the narrative you were sold as a child as to who you were, the more effort and time will be required to find your way back to your identity.

I've been socially transitioning for a while now and there is no magic button to push where you just change clothes and mannerisms overnight; far from it. Instead it is a slow and methodical psychological exercise which rewires the brain. In that sense it definitely can be a long journey with a less than certain end point.

Understanding this process involves living it day to day and discovering new facets of who you are with patience and an expectation that some days there will be little setbacks.

I promise you; what you wear each day will be the least of your concerns.
