    In my experience (trans man here) coming out takes a long time. I spent a good six months questioning before I was sure, and then probably another ten months before I decided to physically transition by starting HRT and pursuing surgery. I suggest finding a local support group in your community where you can try on new identities. It takes time to figure out what you want and how to pursue it, so don't be afraid to give yourself that time. The thing about transition is that it definitely doesn't happen overnight. If you do decided to physically transition, that will happen at a snail's pace. Patience is key with being transgender. It's not fair, and it definitely is not easy, but that's generally lived experience for most trans people.
