What can be expected before transition?
Well, in my case it didn't look good at that time, lost of relatives, friends, job, no way to change birth certificate, passport, drivers licence.
Just a small benefit from the social security and the neighborhood seeing me as a complete weirdo.
Still, I was lucky at the start, no body or facial hair, a feminine face, a voice that could pass.
But, whatever the expectations were, there was no bloody choice, I didn't want to be a girl, I was a girl only my anatomical parts told another story.
There is some point in life, when you tried everything to be a man, and fail, you can't handle it anymore.
So, I went to transition, the therapist, hrt and the srs, indeed I lost a lot of people, I was lonely, had no job and just a little money to spend.
Yes, sometimes I was a bit hungry due to not enough money to buy food.
But still, it was more than worth it, a lot more, I was lucky again, the law changed, I could change the BC and all the other paperwork.
I moved to another place, nobody knew me and nobody knew that I was not born a girl, find a job, more money to spend.
have had relationships and building up the life of a woman.
Now 30 years later I can say, I did get a lot more than I had expected, life was good to me after transition.
Expectations are always compared to the current time and situation, but that's a dynamic fact, time and situations are changing day by day, so your expectations and hopes can be false, things are developing, so it could be a lot better than you had expected.
So, these were the experiences of a gratefull woman, gratefull for what I received in life.
