It’s definitely passive. I don’t think about it anymore. I take my estrogen shot every Monday and boom, done. Everything else feels second nature.

I try to mentor somewhat around here. It’s my primary function really. I just…feel really bad when I have to tell people “hey, it takes time, please be patient” so they don’t get unrealistic expectations and fall into depression when, say, their breasts haven’t grown within the first couple months or something similar. There’s nothing wrong with being happy and positive of course, but I know that I fell into some depression when certain aspects of my transition took longer than usual to take place than it did for others.
