Make a pact with someone you trust fully and is kind to you. Send them a selfie once a month for a year or two. As you go through the transition at whatever pace you do, they can share one compliment on your femininity each time you do this. Ya gotta believe it to achieve it babe. Maybe sometimes It feels like you never get there from the inside, but from the outside looking in your friends supporters and loved ones can often notice wins and growth in your part that you otherwise wouldn’t see

make friends with trans women specifically and women in general. there's so many different women in the world, and at least for me, it became a lot easier to acknowledge myself as a guy when i realized even when another trans guy friend was "only" socially transitioned, i still saw him as a guy fully.
