Not 100 percent sure

In the last 3 months I have made what I feel are major strides in terms of recognizing my feeling and addressing them. I'm almost at a point to where I can start making some of the physical transitions needed. The only problem is I can honestly say I'm not a 100 percent sure. Of course this is part of my personality to doubt things but I wanted to ask is it normal to not be 100 percent sure ? I do know there's  no going back to how I was. Sorry if this is all a little jumbled up.

Make sure you wouldn't regret physical transition. Doubts do occur. I am a Libran well known for his indecisiveness ( :P ) and kept doubting this some time back. Doubts were solved with time and by questioning myself what would make me happy.

Good luck  :)

People have doubts all the time, so it's not uncommon.  Personally, I have never had doubts, but I have questioned whether I could ever pass or if I could successfully transition.  Still, I know plenty of women who weren't 100 percent about their identity.  In this case, I would suggest going to therapy before making any decisions.  You don't want to do something if you aren't sure it is right for you.  I think it is good idea for you to learn more about yourself before taking action.

Due to me questioning my gender I have been able clear up any doubt about my sexuality and I'm sure I'll clear doubt about my gender with time. I just worry about how much time do I really have. I mean my entire body gets more and more masculine. I can honestly say a lot of my doubt come from the idea of completely losing myself. it's not that I don't dislike my masculine identity, It's just no longer the dominate persona in my head. Although I will take you advice and start back my therapy. It probably for the best lol.

Have you been out in public and social situations presenting female?

That's what cemented it for me.

Doubts are normal, I have them even today - but I keep going down this path as I know this is the right thing for me.

Going out into the world as a woman is probably one of the hardest things you'll do - but can also be rewarding too. I've found that I tend to look people right in the eye's dressed as a woman - like I'm showing them my true self. I'm going to say not passing is unimportant to me because as of right now its not on the top of my list. I don't have hormones, I still have the facial hair and well I'm 6'3 height... people know I'm a man dressed as a woman but the most important thing is : I can see myself as the woman I know I am!  :)

Sorry I've been away so long (Me Vs. Life = Getting ass kicked). No I have not been able to present in public. I'm getting very close to that moment but I want to brush up on my make up skill a little more not to mention I want to plan where I go my first time a little more strategic. Maybe I'm putting way too much though into lol.
