Any general advice? Don’t try x, or definitely look into y? Be aware of Z?

Don’t expect to get gendered correctly by strangers until you’ve been on HRT for a while and are actually confident in how you look

On one hand, that would probably make me not want to come out until everything is perfect, but on the other hand… Yeah, that’s not healthy either, is it

Come out to those you love and trust. They usually get it right.

I think I’d want to test the waters first to feel fully comfortable. I don’t know how though

That actually makes a lot of sense. Depressing, but understandable.

It just sets you up for disappointment. Boymoding is important especially if you live in an area that’s unsafe for trans people.

Tempering your expectations and avoiding the obsession over your Dysphoria is important. You’ll get there in enough time. I think most trans people end up passing eventually, and most of those who don’t usually still end up happy.
