Well, there is still a whole bucket load of things you can do. Hair removal, voice, mannerisms to name but  a few. I hooe the appointment comes soon for you though.

@ Jill F your WPATH guidelines insist you talk about wine and Heavy Metal ? This I like. Seems better than the WPATH guidelines this side of the pond. Rock on ! Or rocks off as the case may be.  Sorry, could not resist.

I haven't had laser. I haven't worked on my voice (seems hard and I'm lazy). I haven't changed my mannerisms (I've been gender incongruent foreva though). Yet, I'm perceived as female 100 percent of the time if I wear makeup. If I don't and wear men's clothes, it's like 75 percent of the time. In fact, I checked myself into a detox as a man, and before they let me in, they wanted to know if I'm trans (her exact word were "are you really a woman?" or do you live an alternate lifestyle.) It was funny. And I had to wait 10 hours to get my own room, as they said I'm too feminine looking and curvy to be in a room with a man. They said they'd rather put me in a room with a woman, but can't since no SRS or name change or anything.

So, by the definitions here I'm the least full-time person here as all I do is take hormones, and I'm not even thinking about anything else cause I can't right now. I mean I have a BF, so there's that. Plus, I can't pass as a man unless I stop HRT, and even then...So, some of these definitions seem unfair to someone who is poor, stuck in Fitlthadelphia, and on probation. I mean why would I spend time on my voice, If it's hard to sound like a man as is? Why change my mannerisms, if I already act like a woman without trying. I will have laser, but right now I'm just trying to get my ->-bleeped-<- together.

So, to me, being full-time is either (A) when you are obviously presenting as female and someone has to be a douche to sir you (or ma'am for FTMs) and/or (B) when you pass as female because of hormonal and genetic reasons without trying. I do wear women's clothes and makeup 100 percent of the time though. My hair is short and boyish howeva. I'm going to get extensions.

i dont know were you are but in Europe you have the right to be checked in to the clinic as your chosen gender as long as you present your self as that gender just thought i would make sure you know that law if im ever told i cant use ladies changing facilities when shopping i kick up a massive argument and i carry around a print off of direct.gov and one of European human rights.

i havnt started laser treatment yet is cash is tight but i have been on a diet high phyto-estrogenic compounds although its impossible to absorb enough hormones from food for hrt i have had alot of changes to my already feminine body and mind to name a few lost some bodily hair, calmer (mentally) been able to cut down my antidepressants and finally sensitive breast/nipples (that last one is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING  )

Oh no one said I couldn't but it's just easier to let people assume I'm an FTM, since, like I said, I haven't had my name changed or am I anywhere near SRS. When I dress as a man, people think I'm an FTM. It happens everytime. I've seen people from there on the outside alread, two people in fact, and they both called me she without a thought. No one ever thinks I'm an MTF. I was called a ->-bleeped-<- once by a couple of girls, and I was dressed as a man. So, yeah. Funny stuff.  I went in to get my ->-bleeped-<- together and that's paramount right now. They gave me my HRT regimen, so the hospital itself didn't have a problem. The path of least resistence and all. I barely did anything. Woke up, drank methadone, watched movies, drank more methadone, watch movies, did I mention the methadone? Just kidding. I was the victim of a brutal and bloody home invasion once, so that's where my problems stem from.

for me and in my opinion, fulltime means in all upcoming situations, 24/7.
i had my coming out almost 2,5 years ago before i went fulltime (means living with my female identity, my new name all the time, independently
how you´re looking). now, i´m working, living and hopefully,
looking a bit more fem after almost 1 year in hrt ... everybody (family, friends, colleques at work, roommates) 
only knows me as female today, there are even colleagues who don´t know that i had a trans* past ... pretty awesome and sometimes unbelievable
