Again, I loved it. And it made me cry a couple of times. I've read a few FTM Sherlock fics and none of them have ever been as close to me as this one. When Mycroft was telling Sherlock he WAS a girl I wanted to hit him. Repeatedly. You know how hard it is to make me dislike Mycroft? Lol so well done. Although he did redeem himself a lot by accepting Sherlock. This was absolutely beautiful <3
Everything about this is fantastic, and beautiful. I'm generally pretty shy about commenting on fics but I feel like I have to say something about this, because it's both one of the best Sherlock fics I've ever read and the best fic dealing with trans* issues I've ever read.
I'm trans, and I always start off reading trans*-related fics with a certain...trepidation born of experience. This time, though, that trepidation evaporated after barely a few lines. Through the whole fic I just hurt for Sherlock because that is exactly how it feels. You've written gender dysphoria so well - better than I've ever managed to write or explain it in some half-decade of trying. By the end, I was so relieved that I actually laughed out loud when Mycroft sent his package, and that last line

It's wonderful to read your comment, because I'm NOT trans, and I was wondering how close to reality etothepii was when I empathised with such huge RELIEF that finally, FINALLY Sherlock felt himself to be a man.
Oh my god. This story is so, so wonderful and sad and sweet. It makes me so glad that Sherlock finally found a way to be happy with himself. I have a hard time imagining how it must feel, to not physically be the person you know yourself to be; this story made me envision it.
I love older brother Mycroft, especially in part one. It breaks my heart that he fucked up his relationship with Sherlock, but I'm glad he finally got his shit together. I think it makes a lot of sense in terms of where their relationship is when we hit the series.
