There are a ton of little ways you can explore this feeling while you wait for the next steps. You don't have to tell anyone that you don't feel safe to tell. You've done a really scary thing already, which is to listen to these feelings and let them in.
For me, the little things were stuff like painting my nails, buying and wearing the cute bracelets or rings I always thought were too femme coded for me. Even just imagining how I would feel if my friends saw me as a woman and used "she/her" with me. None of this stuff has to out you to anyone. If you're scared to do them in public you don't have to. You're in control.
When I tried them, these things made me feel good in a way I'd never ever felt before and I've just been following that feeling every since really.
That might lead you towards transitioning, it might not, both things are okay. You have time. Nobody can tell you who you are except you.
Rooting for you babes, good luck.
Finding IRL friends and community is really great and it will help you figure yourself out. I don't know what you have available near you but you might find queer and queer-friendly events nearby. They might have associated groups, meetups, socials etc. If you can find a friend or two to be open with about your journey it'll make the whole thing much more fun. Wishing you all the best.
