Pregnancy made me accept that I'm a man

My wife and I had a baby two months ago, a boy. Our doctor said that she'd have a harder time conceiving than I would so I agreed to be the gestational parent. The IUI session took and I had a full pregnancy. But it really did disgust me with myself to the point where I finally stopped fighting the hunch I've had since I was a teenager and accept that I'm not a woman and desperately want to transition to male.

My wife knows that I've had struggles with my body image but when I told her I wanted to transition she was not prepared for that. I told her that regardless of if we stay together or not (we are still together) I was just at the point where I was no longer willing to pretend to be female. My child deserves to know the authentic me.

I haven't started on T yet. My post baby body is disgusting and I hate everything about it. But I'm no longer hiding to my wife at least.
