I’m early 30s , and I’ve been grappling with my feelings about being transgender for years. I have a deep desire to embrace my true self and live as a woman sometimes I even feel like running away just so I can finally live my life authentically without the weight of everyone’s expectations.
However, I’m terrified of coming out to my friends and family. I fear rejection deeply, especially since I’ve experienced some of that in the past and ended up suppressing my feelings because of it. How can I find the courage to be open and navigate these relationships when I’m so afraid of losing the people I love, but also so tired of hiding?
