I have always known that I am not just a masculine girl. However, I don't think I would have the courage to transition, as much as I want to live my life as a man. Maybe it’s just that the social cost of being trans outweighs the benefits of feeling more comfortable in my body. Looking for housing as trans person, being rejected for insurance, fearing that I will never get the job/education I desire, not being able to adopt or have kids - I feel like it has worn me down so much. It seems like trans people have it worse than LGB people. Perhaps I should be contented with settling for the "second best". How do you overcome the fear of the unknown?
