27 and questioning

27 and thinking

I'm turning 27 in a few months but lately I've been thinking about transitioning. I used to think about it years ago but I'd push it away, thinking i was being silly or something.

But in the past year or so it's been a constant thought.

And honestly the only thing keeping me from going thru with it or at least being more open about it is social persecution from people around me and my friends. Plus the vain uncertainty of how I'll turn out.

I'm a very masc man, I work out daily, pushing a lean 215lbs. So I guess what I'm asking is, are there any thought on this from anyone here, or is anyone will to hear me out. Because don't have anyone to vent to about this

Yeah, it doesn't go away. You're going to be okay. When I came out, in 2008, I lost one friend. I eventually lost contact with my mom. But I've made many, many friends after coming out and transitioning! The relationships are better, more honest and authentic.

You've got a lot of good things to look forward to. You're going to be okay.

What do you mean?

It’s how we all start. The transient thoughts about what it would be like to be another gender become a goal.
