How do you feel about those that choose to transition?
- Transitioning is a big change in their lives so I think I sort of respect them for taking such a big step for improving their life quality, or that is why I think people transition. I trust that whenever someone makes a decision to transition, not to transition or to detransition it's something on which they have come to conclusion that it's the best for them.
Do you want to transition?
- I am and most likely always will be transitioning and I identify as transmasculine. When I was younger I held all these dream visions about transitioning but I also understood it moves rather slowly. I thought I would start transitioning right away when I moved to a city where was one of the two trans-clinics in my country, but there were many big changes in my life at the time and it wasn't until about three years living on my own that I finally decided to get things rolling. Now I've been 9 months and 3 weeks on T.
What comes to mind when someone brings it up?
- In my native there needs to be a change of phrases and some words that are outdated, misleading or a little irrespective to what comes to transitioning and trans people. So I'm kind of on my toes when the subject comes up with non-trans people. I discuss transitioning a lot online, but it's different IRL I guess.

How do you feel about those that choose to transition?
I'm happy for anyone that feels they have figured out what to do to make themselves happier in life, I think transitioning is just another one of those things that for a lot of people make life so much simpler and that's great.
I definitely think it's something that needs a lot of time to think over, though I think it would be a lot less harrowing if the time was up to the person and not enforced so harshly by doctors and whatnot... When I initially came out it felt like it was me against everyone and it made me overlook underlying problems and everything just went downhill from there.
So I've personally had a lot of time to think it over and as much as I dislike that I have waited this long, it was such an unpleasant experience for many years and I am so far from the body I want... I am also happy that I am completely sure of my choice. There are no doubts in my mind about what I need to do. I have a focus I haven't had in a long time.
Do you want to transition?
I do and I shall! I have an appointment next weekend and I'm pretty sure I will get the OK to start testosterone. Though I am trying not to hope too hard, there is also a chance I will need another appointment but I am certain I will start hormones some time this year regardless of how it goes.
What comes to mind when someone brings it up?
I am quite happy to talk about it with anyone who asks politely or if at least I can tell they mean no harm by asking questions.
Before I came out as trans life was just very uncomfortable so I am just kind of overwhelmed with how happy I currently feel, so I am not put off by too many questions personally, though I know not everyone is comfortable with this.
Since I AM comfortable and know that a lot of other trans folks aren't, I kinda feel like it is my responsibility to help people outside of the community with questions so that they don't have to ask someone ELSE and that someone might feel less comfortable with speaking about something so personal. I recently had a kind of awkward discussion with a friend of my sister's about what she thought made a man a man and a woman a woman, and it was kind of awkward but I think I got her to listen to a lot of what I was saying. She WAS a little drunk though so I don't know, haha.
Honestly I am just very very excited when I hear about it. I am lucky in that I am surrounded by kind and mostly curious people, so it's easy for me.

I find if it makes them happier with their body, they should go for it. Most who do, usually are. Look at Laverne(?) cox. She went through it, now she's praised and now Jenner.
Both ladies I've come to adore and root for their choice and life style c:
Do you want to transition?
I've always wanted to, from the moment I realized my gender identity. Though its been a bit rocky, confusing and just questioned so many times. I'm sticking with it.
What comes to mind when someone brings it up?
Everyone has their choices. If they want to transition and feel acceptance and happy with their body. Let them. I will always throw my support to them.
Now if you're asking how to respond about those who question my own choices- per se .
I try to educate them as much as possible. I'm not an expert but that's what the internet is for right? Finding good sources and helping those who don't anything to learn.
