Transitioning involves taking hold of your own fate in a uniquely powerful way.
You can be proud of that power.

Being #trans and #transitioning medically is like being a timelord that regenerates.
Just with an extreme lag.
It takes a lot of time but you will look different. With a slightly different personality (because you stop hiding things). You will have the old memories and a new life full of new adventures starts.
Any transition steps you take should be for your own good.
Your friends and loved ones might struggle or reject what you need to do for yourself. They might also surprise you with support.
But this is for you.
If you need permission to look into medically transitioning as a nonbinary person, I'm giving it to you.
Gender affirming care is something that belongs to you, too (regardless of the various legal barriers you may need to overcome).
You deserve a chance to explore and feel happy in your skin.
On the importance of #PointOfView in narratives of #transitioning : "the transition narrative in mainstream art focuses so much on the externalities of a changing body, rather than the internality that is suddenly realizing you have what might be dubbed a soul."

Well just saw the musculoskeletal team - I don't have osteoporosis anymore! Thanks to taking testosterone for such a long time, my bone density is massively improving, and the longer I take T, the stronger my bones will get.
So, thanks to medically transitioning, I've grown out of osteoporosis!

No one really has a say in what you decide to do with your body.
You are the one who knows your gender best and how your body relates to that.
Don’t let people (cis, trans, nonbinary, or otherwise) pressure you into conforming to their desires.
Transition, or don’t, as you choose.

It's alright to be worried about transitioning.
Each step is a relatively big change even though you want that change. Being nonbinary, your path may not be straightforward, either.
Your in charge of this journey, and you set the timeline.

Stuff I've had to remind #Transgender and #Nonbinary people about #Transitioning a lot...
1) You do not have to fully #transition. Some people just take hormone blockers, some lower the dose of the new #hormones after they're happy with results. Surgery is not only optional, but isn't even an option until after a year of #HRT.
2) You do not have to transition publicly, or on paperwork. Many transgender people quietly go on HRT and come out to friends and family without ever changing their papers or public appearance.
3) In the US, you have a rock-solid first amendment right to talk about being trans in public, regardless of what sort of transitioning you have or haven't done, or any other law. Talking about it publicly is what builds support.
4) In the US, the Supreme Court voted 6 to 3, in Bostock v. Clayton County, that discrimination on the basis of being #gay or #trans is discrimination on the basis of sex and therefore illegal.
