A warm welcome, ameera!
I have travelled in my life to most of Europe and the U.K. many times, Russia, much of Asia, and I have lived in Latin America for many years.
I haven't been to Africa, but I understand that in many countries of Africa, trans-girls could be in some physical danger, so be careful.
South Africa is more organized than most of Africa from what I can tell from a distance, but I have heard of a lot of physical violence in your country in recent years.
At least you gals and guys of color don't have to deal with the oppression of apartheid anymore, but the high risk of physical violence currently in South Africa concerns me for you...because being a "female male" may elicit physical violence against you in some places in South Africa...
Sure, "coming out" is very hard...some going out in public "presenting" myself as female, I have only done where I am NOT known...
But just 6 weeks into strong female hormones (hRT) I already have small breasts that people are starting to stare at just in the last few days...
I take estradiol valerate and micronized progesterone from major manufacturers, and these are working great for me...maybe they can for you, too...
You may also need to overcome some prejudice in your culture of India, even though you are South African...
Ask your doctor or therapist or pharmacist for estradiol valerate, 17 beta estradiol, maybe spiro although I have never taken spiro even though I have it in my house. And micronized progesterone if you can obtain it where you live in South Africa. If not micronized progesterone, maybe another "pure" form of progesterone with low side risk. THESE can be your "magic" pills to physically transform you into a girl.
6 weeks into taking these "magic pills and potions" I am already physically transforming into a girl, which aligns well with my true female mind.
You might want to do the same, if you decide that you are truly female. If you are NOT truly female, you should NOT take the "magic pills and potions" because the physical and mental changes you will experience are deep and profound.
If you are FEMALE inside, then these "magic pills and potions" you have dreamed of, exist in the real world. These results for me have been fast, real, and strong.
A hug to you in your journey,
Johanna.
I am female.
