Socially: It is awkward and depressing. Some people just pretend that nothing has changed; he/hims all around from them. Most people are just openly uncomfortable with my presence either because they feel disgust or because they are walking on eggshells trying not to offend me; both feel bad but at least they aren't openly hostile. A select few, maybe 1 or 2 in my life are happy for me and celebrate my personal journey to authenticity.

Mentally: Good. Also bad because of the social impacts.

Physically: No HRT, so minimal besides the reversible aesthetic changes I've made.
