Had a bit of a strange one today. Something I saw at work triggered a lot of emotions, out of nowhere. I found myself questioning what on Earth am I doing. I wasn't questioning whether I'm trans necessarily, but whether the consequences (some already real, other potential) were worth it. Am I ruining my life? Am I throwing away everything I spent years building?
And then, I stumbled upon a couple of things on my new company's intranet that just spun me right round. First, I discovered that among its staff communities, one of the most prominent is the LGBTQ one. Then, in the staff profile pages, I noticed there is an option to add your pronouns. That didn't drive all the doubts away, but girl did it alleviate the anxiety. I allowed myself to think that it will be ok, even if I lose some things along the way.
