Hey y’all so huh, not sure if its okay for me to publish this here and I’d understand if you delete the post.

I don’t know where to start. 3 months have passed since I created this account and its been incredibly hard for me to come write these lines (it may be nonsense, sorry, I do my best to be coherent).

So, few days ago I found the courage to come out as a woman to my fedi-friends (I love them all so much) and now here I am.
For the obvious part, I am TheOtterInside or, shorter, Loutre, but I currently have no chosen name Id like to show.
I have been lurking {lemmy,piefed}.blahaj.zone for months almost every single day as y’all here have helped me without even knowing. You have offered me both hope and joy. Thank you.
I am a rather introverted girl and am not comfortable enough to state my location (well, this one you can easily guess it), my face and most of my personal informations.

If there is anything you’d like to know please do ask. Worse that could happen is me answering “not comfy” (or a variation).

With luv, Loutre

    hihi it’s great to have new folk around here and you’re no exception! :D

    this is perfectly fine to post here, you don’t need to worry one bit, these communities are very very broad. !mtf@lemmy.blahaj.zone is also a fun place for us transfemmes, and !trans_joy@lemmy.blahaj.zone doesn’t actually require you to post any photos at all—text-only posts are super ok!

    we are super glad to have helped bring you happiness, and the other kind folk here certainly are too. welcome!

      iiiiiiiiiih, thank you so much !

      Worried is kinda a second name for me, I’ll do my best to relax.

      I love how much everyone seem to be so confident here while I just realised how difficult it can be to actually share feelings. Luv you all.

        confidence takes time to built, but not as much as you may think. even then, we still ponder over our exact words so much and then make five different edits after the fact in our posts/comments. its very normal hehe

        but until then we got you girl :3
