So, I'm pretty much hell bent on transitioning right now. I just feel like it's something that I have to do. I'm seeing my therapist on Wednesday and I'm going to request my letter to begin hrt. I'd like to be fully transitioned in about 3 years; sooner would be nice, but I feel that I need to give it time and I'll still only be 28-29 then. I plan on having basically everything done - FFS, GRS, hair transplant, BA and body work, whole new wardrobe - and I'd even consider VFS. I'm 6'0" tall and I feel that I have a medium frame for my height, but closer to being smaller than larger framed. I only weigh like 155lbs and I'd probably want to walk around after transitioning at 140-150. I definitely have a male skeleton and horrible hands, but I feel that despite this I may still be able to pass or at least end up a pretty ts.
I basically just want to live as regular a life as possible and not have to constantly think of being ts. I really don't need an extravagant life or anything. I just want to be as ordinary as I can be. I feel having a relationship, with a man, would go a long way in making me feel normal or at least make me feel more comfortable and happy with my life. I really want to go on dates and everything.
So, how have peoples experiences been with dating after transitioning? Do men approach you? If I can't pass as totally CIS, but still end up a pretty ts, then do I even have a shot? I'd tell whoever I was with that I was trans, so I'd be fine with dating a "trans fan" or anyone else who would have me really.
Just what are peoples experiences I guess? How do you go about meeting someone when your transgendered? If I was satisfied enough with how I looked and I had just one person who cared about me and found me attractive then I feel I could get over the fear, depression, and remorse. I think having a relationship would go a VERY long way in terms of putting me at ease.
Thanks everyone...
