Allowing myself to be a woman

I am a woman, but how do I allow myself to be a woman? I would love to start HRT (currently doing therapy appointments to start it soon) maybe that will help but for now I often caught myself of a feeling like I am not allowed to feel this way because of my assigned gender at birth and societal expectations. I always had problems feeling valid and thinking that my view is valid which results in me often thinking I am not allowed to feel girly

Can anyone help me and say what helped them?
