I'm planning the come out

Well, so I have a situation.

I'm a med student and I'm graduating in about 18 months. I'm finishing my 3rd month of HRT next 10th.

I want my degree and my register in my country's medical council to come with my real, female name, as it would save me a lot of time. I am also worried I might not be able to transfer all my degrees and courses to my new identity unless I change things before graduation. So, I am considering changing my ID before graduation and a few months before it, change my university ID to match it. Following, I'd go as me (as opposed to pretending to be male) to my graduation and come out to sibilings, friends and the university  community as a whole. Not going as me is not a option, though simply not going is.

I just re-read that and I think I have gone insane! :P But the benefit is that I would have my documentation ready, and at 3 months of HRT I'm sometimes passing at daylight and with guy clothing, so I have hopes I will be mostly passing at 18 months, girl clothes and makeup.

The downside is of course, if I'm not passing yet then I'm screwed at work. However, I am keeping my hopes up that I WILL be passing, and that I AM GOING to do it no matter what. Simply because I believe what we are inside reflects on the outside.

Girls,guys,  does this sounds solid, a good idea, or is it a bad idea?

Sounds fine to me.

You'll be pleasently surprised at the effect of HRT and determination. A formidable combination.

You see I'm worried about this as well Dx

And I hope things go well for you!
Good Luck!  :)

I still tremble a bit when I think about this, but I'm keeping my hopes up that soon I will be able to meet this prospect with confidence.
