    Wanting to pay it forward but how?

    I joined this site in May 2016 as I was starting to transition and it was very helpful to me. I met about 10 friends that all fully transitioned and they gave me great advice. I spent time with them in person and expect to remain friends with several.

    Since then I have fully transitioned - name / birth cert / DL / SSN ( number stays the same ) etc etc. I had an orchiectomy only ( health issues)

    I live and work as an openly transgender woman. A huge change in two years. I have become pretty opinionated on a number of topics such as should I transition ? Should I start HRT - Should I have FFS ? Our own internalized transphobia ( shame or scorn of those that are trans ) - and many more.

    Do I have all the answers? Of course not my truths are not the same as everyone else's but I do know a few things that I am very confident are usually true.

    1. Gender identity issues do not go away. They can be kept in the closet but it will be with you your entire life.

    2. Trying to keep those feelings in check is a losing battle.

    3. The transphobe you have to deal with is the one in your own head.

    4. HRT FFS GRS blah blah. All are fine but most importantly work at finding your own peace and accept you are transgender. Find a good therapist and learn how to live this life as honestly as you can. Only then can you find happiness.

    How can I pay forward the help I received from others? I don't know but hopefully my words here may help someone at the start of this journey.
    Peace
