Experiencing gender euphoria for the first time in my life :)))

Progress

I am still closeted and living with family who vocally oppose any masculine choices in clothes, etc, but I decided this year that I am going to take active steps towards gender euphoria. And I have and, oh my god, life is looking so much brighter.

I acquired a real, quality chest binder, got my first EVER short haircut, and I've started practicing lowering my larynx. It's just wonderful. I keep catching glimpses of myself in the mirror and smiling uncontrollably because I see short hair and a flat chest. I bought a jean shirt to layer over my clothes and that one wardrobe piece is working wonders.

It's definitely getting harder to stay closeted, and due to certain circumstances I won't be able to socially or medically transition for at least a year, but I feel like I have a real life to look forward to now. I might even come out to some of my friends. What's going on??? This is crazy!!!
