I have literally never thought about a woman ' s nails before unless they ' re those 12 inch long glueon daggers that I will never understand . <| sep |> oh no . what location are you at <| sep |> I started by coming out to everyone slowly . Around this time , I started training my voice . Then I started therapy 3 months later it was hard to find one who would see me near where I live . A month later , I had a reliable passable voice . Then 2 months later , I got my official diagnosis and my appointment with my endo scheduled . Around this time , I started presenting female at home occasionally . I started HRT in January a month later . Also , I started presenting female in public a month after and was able to pass with the help of makeup a week later . This wouldn ' t have been possible had I not prepped before HRT . I don ' t think I started collecting too many clothes until around when I started presenting female in public and could size and buy them . I did get a handful from my sister to let me do that though . Unfortunately , I waited until January to start laser , which kinda sucked for a while .
