I otherwise pride myself on being an authentic and honest person. I feel like I’m a fake and fraud for continuing to pretend to be my assigned birth gender. I hate using my legal name and filling out forms always feels like a lie. I’ve been overworking myself, and feel used, helping others all the time. I just want to be there for others. But I always end up feeling neglected. I don’t know how to improve my situation so I can feel comfortable transitioning. I feel like I’m never going to be me.
