In five years time...

[Thylacin]

I'm a successful self-published game designer with at least one title complete. I'm also married and have an adopted child.

Hey cool! I'm an aspiring game designer as well. Doing the CS track now, learning about design on the side. Hope to start small projects once I'm more settled into myself.

My hobby is mathematics. I have this mathematical theory that I hopefully and should have finished and published by then.

Math is awesome. What is your theory about?

I don't know what I'm going to do with my computer science/studio art degree. Game design is a possibility, but I don't know. I just want to have a career, and be a loving wife at the same time, start a family with adopted children in need.

I wrote a 5 year plan that involved moving, coming out, job etc etc that my therapist made me do before going onto HRT. Things happened much, much sooner than I thought and completely out of order. For example, I planned on having SRS before moving far away to a more accepting city. Well I moved and I still don't have a vagina, lol.

However, nearly everything I planned for in my 5 year plan was done in 2. It wasn't done by hard work either, just by (mostly) luck and a little bit of confidence given to me by a dear friend.

5 years from now...?

I plan to have finished my BS in Nursing, 
I hope to have completed my MS in Nursing and just get started on finding an Emergency Nurse Practitioner program...
By then my wife will have her BS in chemistry and will be teaching or in research...
We will finally have that little bundle of joy we've been wanting for awhile...

Will we be in Austin? Or Houston? Or San Antonio?

For all we know I won't make the cut for clinical rotations and will be going for my PhD in History (will lecture on History for food)!

All I know is, if the door to success is slammed in my face, this girl is getting a rock and breaking a window!

Cool that you also have a farm. Good luck GF, enjoy.

Thanks, it's a lot of fun!

What are the laws about transsexuals adopting anyway?

[Ms Grace]

What are the laws about transsexuals adopting anyway?

I imagine it varies wildly. They recently passed laws in my home state that allowed homosexual couples to adopt, but I don't know if that included trans* people...probably not.  But adoption laws are a state issue in Australia, I'd be surprised if they weren't in the US too...?

[Robin Mack]

To my understanding, a person is a person under the law.  Once your gender is officially changed, according to the state, you are legally that gender and they can't treat you any differently.  That's the one advantage to the law being oblivious to transgender issues, for the most part.

Now if your legal gender makes your relationship a homosexual one, then the states may weigh in (for now, but that's changing too).  For the most part, legally, it's a gender/sexuality difference.  If you are a female with a male partner, or a male or a female without a partner, adoption is an option (although individual judges/social workers can cause issues).

I'm going to finish my 4th novel and publish it all around the world and let Peter Jackson make it a movie.

Five years hey...

In five years I will have found myself a partner, and have a baby here or on the way via some means ( partner's gender depending ). And we'd be considering having another child pretty soon after the first.  Aside from babies, by that time I might have considered buying a mortgage depending on what happens with our insane property market. Also, I will have found a new career by then, which I might have to give up for motherhood. But all the while I'll be so incredibly happy... Have a lot of life to live.

[Jean24]

I honestly don't know what life will be like in a month because job/school etc are all up in the air right now, and my plans usually fail so I have to change them.

[FalseHybridPrincess]

Id rather not answer too, cause my plans fail every single time as well ...

So if I dont plan anything this time maybe good things will happen

At the rate I'm going I'll still be having facial electrolysis if alive.

Ugh how I know! Hang in there Francis and don't get despondent over it, there's not a soul here that isn't faced with the same thing and those that have been totally cleared still have to get an occasional touch-up.

It's agonizingly slow for me.  My electrologist told me that a lot of her TS clients become good friends afterwards because they've spent so much time together discussing their lives.  Anyway, she transitioned about 10 years ago, and yesterday said a TS friend and her got together on Wednesday to do each others random hairs.  Apparently they do this every couple months for a touch-up and dinner.

My former electrologist's biggest business came from post menopausal women who were getting unwanted black facial hairs and mid-eastern women who have awful facial hair problems due to ethnicity. MtF's were just the light end of her clientele.

I had a lot of beard clearing during my first tilt at this, bit it was with a single needle and a less efficient technique. Still, that was numerous one hour sessions over a two year period (on the rare occasions I could afford it) and they got did of a lot on my cheeks. They barely touched the mo or under the chin though so that's where the majority of work remains. This time it's a multi probe (32!) using the (apparently) most effective method in three hour sessions. My face looks like I stuck my head in a bee hive for a few hours afterwards but I'm hopeful I've got less than 100 hours (or 33 session, one a fortnight) to go... can it possibly be that it will be all gone in a bit over a year? I sure hope so!!

I don't know after looking at all these posts I might just stick to the hormonal imbalance  excuse
