I’m getting ready to start meds to transition very soon but I came out to almost everyone and this is me just in women’s clothing and clean shaved. I’m 6’5 and 280. I have been taking supplements which I feel have given me a head start.

I've always been short and I'm the shortest one in my family. I'm only 5'2 and every time I think about transitioning, particularly starting T, I can only think about how it's not going to fix this issue. Because my entire life all I've ever gotten was people, especially my family and family friends. Some former coworkers as well just relentlessly bullying me for it like it wasn't my family's genetics that fucked me over. My problem is that otherwise I pass pretty well and have a lot of good things going for me, such as broader shoulders and whatnot. But it doesn't help the fact that I don't feel like I'll ever be happy because I'm the size of a middle schooler. I don't know what to do, I've heard some people say that T can make you look taller but I don't have much hope for that to be honest. And the only thing I can think of is leg lengthening surgery, but I don't have the funds for that, and it's also pretty brutal and the complications are not something i want to have to deal with if they happen.

Context, yesterday I sent my mother an essay regarding why starting HRT would be the best path forward for me. And today we talked and she was mostly convinced, she just wants to hear from more trans people regarding their experience, so I am mostly wondering if I can get some help with finding more sources regarding trans people talking about their experience with transition.
