Hugs, girl. And same. I looked into treatment in 2001. Even went so far as a psychiatrist consult who told me that unless I was attracted to guys and knew that I was 100% a woman (read binary) that I couldn't qualify. And I came to the conclusion that I couldn't transition, and that I **obviously** couldn't be transgender... and all the while imprisoning myself in my mind along with many similar experiences you've shared. Fast forward to August 2023 and starting HRT and the absolute opening of my thoughts in that first week. It was as if the sepia filter in my brain turned finally to vivid color. Transitioning officially through a medically observed manner was impossible for me in 2001 and delayed the inevitable for 22 years.
