I’m going private and will probably be able to start T within the next 6 months.

It’s a much shorter waiting time compared to the NHS but still I feel like sometimes I simply cannot endure more of it.

I am certain that I am transexual because the dysphoria I experience is just textbook, I am described as a stereotypical straight man by friends. Everything is just natural and right about being a man. It always has been like this. Even when I was a kid and was dressed like a girl people always made comments about how much I am a tomboy and even constantly joked about how I should have been born a boy.

Still, as authentic as I know I am, when alone, imposter syndrome still hits me occasionally. My mind just doubts itself, are you really really really trans? Or are you just an attention-seeker? Are you just lying to yourself and everyone else? It constantly beats me down even though I know I’m not faking it.

I know it’s a common problem for even man post-transition or stealth ones, but the feeling is just very distressing to experience. I can’t really talk about it irl because others won’t understand as I am the only transexual I know in my social groups.
