Hi Emily, thanks for posting. The way to look at expressing is simply to think about it differently. It helps me a lot because I am effectively a single parent with a 12 yo son who has never met me properly. I only get to dress while he is out at school or away at his mums, neither of which will be happening for at least the next 12 weeks. It is not the clothes you wear that make you Emily. It is how you express yourself, the clothes just help with that. My reflection just now is eugh, but that doesn't stop me being me when I am here. The outside world just hasn't caught up yet.🤷‍♀️ Do not rush, everywhere will be on a go slow and will take time to catch up, but at least you are starting to know who you really are, and that is wonderful!

Dear Emily, Realize that COVID-19 has thrown a wrench into everyone's lives. Normally, I would suggest gender support groups and gender conferences as an adjunct to professional counseling and group therapy. Until this COVID-19 thing blows over, may I recommend you stay in touch with TGGuide and please check out this resource: Trans Lifeline Tel: 877-565-8860 Hope this helps. Yours truly, Monica
