You are probably familiar with the 5 Stages of Grief. It occurred to me early on in my realization of my gender that I'm working through these stages as well.
Depression
In western cultures, mental health is largely misunderstood and often ignored. Those with mental conditions are often stigmatized.
Coming out (to family and friends)
Really, the only thing happening is one of you is getting to live a more genuine (and hopefully happier) life. Isn't that cause for celebration?
My Network of (medical/mental) Care
The next time you visit a doctor, consider the number of people who, one way or another, become aware of your medical status, either by direct knowledge, or by inference or even happenstance.
Passing lane ahead!
A person successfully and convincingly presenting themselves as a cisgender member of a gender they were not assigned at birth is called "passing". Passing is a complicated and controversial topic, partly because of the issues that it raises for both those who can and cannot pass. It's also a philosophical issue, a safety issue, and a social issue (and a variety of other categories).
Are you mental?
Is gender dysphoria a mental disorder?
The ‘D’ word
It's a four-letter-word that happens to have nine letters in it.
Gender Expression
Just like sex and gender aren't the same thing, neither are gender and gender expression.
Gender Identities
Since we don't live in a perfect world, we have gender. And, being humans who like to categorize and make things fit into tidy little boxes, we group and put labels on things.
Gender ≠Sex
Put simply, a person's sex is between their legs, but their gender is between their ears.
