I'm anxious but it feels right. I can't help but smile knowing I am becoming who I wish to be.

Transitioning currently (starting HRT in a couple weeks or so before I begin my journey), and I've never seen a terf until recently honestly. I'm not super open about being trans yet (I will when I start getting boobs since you can't hide that!), but some know. But, I've been coming across people, when I do say something in friendly conversation or on the internet whatever, and how my friends now call me a lesbian because I'm not into men and it honestly makes me more happier than I could have ever guessed! But, these people often are like "ugh, I hate men invading lesbianism saying they're lesbians or trying to or reading all the yuri ever" like girl trans people exist, they aren't men, but you still treat them like men?? 😭

Let's say for example, someone who is a trans woman is so womanly that you would have never guessed she's trans. Is she still a man?? No! She's a woman 😭

I hope this doesn't sound odd, but I hate being called a transbian. I may be trans, but I just want to be known just as a woman or lesbian. That's all I ask for and it just seems so hard for people. They're either terfs or they claim to be pro trans but then do stupid shit like this and be like "men can't be lesbians" thing.. cis men makes sense though, if they are a guy then they can't be, of course. But, this is more for people who are trans or guys who may be eggs wanting to be lesbians.

As I said before, I'd just rather be noticed as a woman than a transbian because I'm not gonna lie it kindof feels like a slur in a way to me, but I'm probably the odd duckling who either makes no sense or has weird preferences that most trans people wouldn't care about..? I'm just figuring out myself and decided after thinking about it a lot for over 2 years, so I'm kindof new to this.. but, my friends and my ex girlfriend had always said I was more womanly which made me happy to know before I started transitioning.
