Wow, I bet no one would have ever guessed that you had a gender struggle based on your outward appearance. Were your friends and families surprised?

I watched all of your videos and also subbed!  It's great that you are vlogging.  I think I'm going to start vlogging when I get my own place in the summer since I have roommates right now who could hear everything I'm saying.  I don't plan on coming out to them since I'm not really close to them. 

You and I are basically on the same track.  I started therapy in February and plan on going on HRT sometime late spring probably.  I started laser hair removal treatment 1 week before my first therapy session and I suggest you start that process soon.  It can take several months before you see some real reduction.  Since you have lighter skin and darker hair laser will do fine on you.  After just 1 treatment I have significant reduction but still have some ways to go.  HRT will assist with hair reduction but I may have to get electrolysis later depending on how things go.

It must feel really good to be out of the closet with friends and parents.  I am not out to my parents yet and frankly I'm just scared about it.  I'm sure they will be supportive but still...the fear of rejection and bla bla bla...I'm 27 years old and I don't live with them (I'm in another city like 5 hours away) but I'll end up telling them sooner or later.
