First off about to see a therapist but other then that just plain gender confused but can empathize with the elements of transition.
Anyway my question is could there be a simple way to have a sticky of say from point A to point B on how to potentially transition with a disclaimer of course not everything must be done yet some things must be done to reach certain goals.
Basically what I mean is where to start and if I get this straight it could go something like this
Research what transgender is about ---- See Therapist --- Coming out of the closet ---- Go HRT --- RL Test ---- Gender surgery (SRS,GRS).  Another disclaimer would also be that this path is only how you choose to take the journey and how far of course.  This might give someone a better idea of where and what to do in each point in the path so to speak and I know I didn't include legal matters such as name change etc and of course some things are different from country to country or even state to state.  Basically a simple easy to understand methodology which may help some one figure out ok what is next for ME.  ME capitalized because we each have our own journey yet we all seem to share some experience that can help others make the road less bumpy and straightforward:)  Of course I may be totally of my rocker on this btw not that old just 42 hehe.

Jen,

I wish it was that easy.

Each hold there own way they move along there path.

Yes the WPATH SOC does outline steps but they are for certain aspects of the transition.

I know some girls who went full time then a therapist, RLT and then HRT.........and no GCS.

I know others who only did Therapy.

Others like me the whole 9 yards.

Each has there path they must walk in there own way. There is not a one size fits all.

You will know with therapy whats your path and you will not need a script or a sticky.

Hugs

Thank you and sorry for my ignorance on the subject.  I knew it was diverse as what could happen in transition but didn't realise it could go in so many directions.  I guess seeing that therapist needs to be done sooner:)  My strange thought was there might be some general semi guideline but he he maybe throw it out the window with my male self.  Ok don't know if I will go that far yet but the idea (giggle).:)  It is always good to learn new things well unless they hurt or bit you in the ...
