I finally got around to seeing “I Saw The TV Glow”, and it definitely lived up to the hype.

dysphoria, regret
When I think about the fact that I didn’t do DIY HRT for three and a half years after I realized I was trans I feel so much regret and anger for my younger self. I thought the waiting lists wouldn’t be so long and I was actively dissuaded from trying DIY by my psychologist, so it isn’t completely my fault, but still. I feel like the trans achievements I made in that time don’t matter because I wasn’t on HRT, even if I know that’s not true.
I feel like I could be fully transitioned by now if I hadn’t let mental illness inhibit all my progress
Yeah, I feel like shame is a part of why it took me so long as well
I feel that. At like 23 or 24 I kinda realized I was probably trans but I was so scared of grappling with it I just stuck my head in the sand for another 5 years. Tbh I feel a ton of regret around that decision
