Emilie's Transition
Donation protected
I was assigned male at birth. I thought about this very little early in my life. I kinda always knew that I would rather be a girl if I could be but it was one of those things, you know? We all would be happy to be this or that but we still deal with what life threw at us instead.
Over the last few years, and especially recent months though I began to realise that not having body dysphoria about my gender doesn’t mean I’m not trans. Or somewhere on that spectrum at least.
I thought a lot about this for quite a while now and the more I did the more I realised how much happier and comfortable with myself I would be if I’d allow myself to not consider myself male.
I always thought being trans means you have to struggle with the body you were born in but after talking to trans friends I learnt that this is not necessarily the case. What I know is that seeing myself as not male makes me happy, comfortable and more confident than I ever was, it feels right. People using female pronouns for me feels super right.
I know most people won’t “read” me as female for obvious reasons (voice, face, body etc) but that's ok and at least parts of that I can work towards and after a lot of consideration I decided that I'd like to do just that.
If you know me at all, you know that I'm not exactly swimming in money to say the least so if you feel like helping me out I'd forever appreciate it <3 There are some things that I will likely have to pay for myself (voice coaching, some "cosmetic" things etc.) and some that I will probably have to pay upfront (bureaucratic stuff like changing my name for example).
Any help will go towards these things. I'm thinking about setting up a Twitter in case you're interested in following this lil journey of mine <3
