a real turnaround for me was when i realized that being very tall with linebacker shoulders just means i get to be an amazing butch lesbian
i didn't start hrt until well into my adulthood and well after i figured out i'm trans, and it was one of the best feelings i've had and the mental changes were almost immediate. after starting i did have a couple weeks of what i guess i'd call "brain fog" (which i'd get each time i'd up my dose :/ ), but after that i really felt at home in my body for the first time.
i had pretty severe problems with dissociation prior to starting hrt that are pretty much gone, and every feeling is much more vibrant and feels much more like Me. it's not something that eliminated my anxiety or depression, but it did make them addressable for the first time, and even feeling Bad in a body that feels like my own is preferable (at least for me) to feeling Good in a body that doesn't.
it's something i couldn't recommend more and i really hope you're able to start!
hi hello
thanks for the suggestion to move over here, was gettin kind of anxious about bluesky imploding when i had just gotten there o_o
are you looking for the name overall to be more neutral, or is having a sort of neutral nickname okay? for starting with a vowel with a more neutral nickname, something like eleanor could be shortened to "elle" or something like emily could be shortened to "emme" which may fit the bill? i've also heard andrea shortened to "andi" or amelia shortened to "ames," but i dunno if those are more on the masc side.
just some random thoughts, i hope you have luck! finding the name that's really you can be really exciting
