I'm really nervous about it, can somebody hype me up and maybe tell me what I can expect?

Took a long ass time to get going physically but mentally it basically obliterated my depression and SI and made me highly productive and motivated to destroy capitalism and help other trans people out. It took me about 2ish years of hrt to pass without effort, and frankly my family at large were very clueless about it. Some of my cousins thought I was their niece at a get together and called me by her name. My minority stress / anxiety is through the roof now though and I'm trying to find better ways to mitigate it

I've been on hrt for 10+ years at this point I'm probably the longest medically transitioned person on here. There's a lot of small changes that you don't expect as you get older, you age like a woman on e and accrue all sorts of small tells. Its nice to see myself age.
