Self-acceptance is the first step. I would also suggest finding a good gender therapist. I saw one this week and feel much better about where I am on the spectrum.

I repressed Danielle for way too long to the point that I couldn't really be productive enough. I've already decided that I will be Danielle pretty much full time after I move next summer aside from work and religious worship services. I don't know if I'll transition but I'm making plans to have my apartment be as girly as possible.
