Which mtf milestone marks the trans-woman’s “mtf birthday”?
ChrissyRyan:
Which mtf milestone marks the trans-woman’s “birthday”? No, I am not talking about the day that she was born into the world.
Is her mtf birthday...
The day she realizes she is trans?
The day she gets a letter for mtf HRT?
The day she takes her first mtf HRT medicine?
The day she goes full-time?
The day she gets her birth certificate changed?
The day she has gender reassignment surgery?
On some other milestone day?
Or on each of these days?

I think the day she goes full time would be best! Some don't want to get bottom surgery, others don't want to change the birtertificate.
I don't remember any of the key dates listed up there, and that would mean I can't celebrate a birthday?
StacyRenee:
For me it's when my legal name change was signed. That's when Stacy was first legally acknowledged anywhere. Much like a cis person gets a birth certificate.

For me it was hormones. It was the biggest hurdle and the jumping off point for transitioning. Everything after hormones wasn't nearly as scary. Even GRS was kind of "Meh". I mean, yes I wanted it and it had to be done. However, post op was a very natural feeling and almost an afterthought immediately after. I would have thought that it would have been a more memorable event than it was... Still lives in "Hormones' " shadow.
KathyLauren:
For me, unquestionably going full-time. Coming out to my wife was big; HRT was big; GRS, when it happens, will be big. But the biggest of all was going full-time. Standing up at the community coffee meeting and declaring that I was transgender and would henceforth be known as Kathy.
My re-birthday is April 20th. I'll be two. ;)
