Where are you in your stage of transition (entire community welcome)

[Tossu-sama]

On T, post top surgery and hysto with name and gender marker change. In other words, pretty much done.

As of now I don't feel the need for SRS.

[Lady Smith]

Living full time as myself for 22 years.  Official name change at year 1.  Have been on HRT for 22 years. Full electrolysis at year 3 (ouch!).  Orchi at year 4 (Yay!)

[Sulmor10]

pre-everything, but I dress in a masculine manner and have very short hair. I'm not out yet, but I hope to come out someday.

[Dee Marshall]

There's a gap between option 2 and option 3. I'm on HRT but still presenting male in public all the time. Sorry if someone else has already said this. I'm still catching up on the thread.

[graspthesanity]

I want to see how I feel, I think it's a process which everyone needs to decide for themselves really:)

But yeah, thinking of it.

[synesthetic]

still questioning, honestly.

I'm trying to test out the waters; hopefully I can get a bidner (gotta figure out how to do it secretly though, gah) and some guys' clothes just to see how it feels, and see whether or not I truly would be more comfortable presenting in a more masculine manner. (which I think I know the answer but I'm still very much trying to figure out/come to terms with my identity)

[AshBear]

I've only been to two sessions of therapy, and haven't begun HRT yet.. I still have things to work out, and family to talk to before I even think of going full-time

[Ian68]

Living as myself for 15 years, name correction at 11 years, have had rec for T for a year but not currently taking (likely will for up to 18 months but no more), planning top surgery for this summer (consults next month - and letter has been assured).  I've never had a desire for SRS, and do not want a hystrectomy or oophorectomy. 

I plan to complete medical transition between August 2015 - January 2017, depending upon if and for how long I go on T.  I will not be going stealth.

[Ashey]

Just over a year and a half on hormones, and about 14 months since going full-time. I've reached my max dose of E, P, and actually ditched my t-blocker (at least for now). I actually feel like I might not even need it anymore as the E and P seem to be doing enough. My boobs haven't really been growing anymore, I'm between an A and B cup. Considering breast augmentation but I'll wait a while. Only FFS type stuff I really want to do is my nose. Brow if I had extra monies but not a huge concern. SRS is probably in my future but not an immediate concern. Haven't legally changed my name yet (thankfully it's gender neutral), but will be getting a new license soon with amended gender marker. The changes have pretty much stopped or at least slowed way down, and I'm just living my life as a woman now. Any changes I want to make are just cosmetic, because otherwise I pass just fine.

My first hair removal session is scheduled for tomorrow. I've learned to look at being trans as a gift most people wouldn't understand and many of us don't either. When I first started I saw it as a curse. I've come a long way and my first year isn't until the end of May/beginning of June.

[Jessie Ann]

I am a month and a half on HRT and had AA reduction a few weeks ago.  My Court date for name and gender change is in a month.  I will be going full time at work in the middle of June.  Life is good!!

[snackattack]

I'm nearing 4 weeks on my hormones. I count my transition as official when I began swallowing my Estradiol and Spiro, thats when I became full-time as a transgirl since my body has been modified on a cellular level. Anything before that is pre-transition and cross-dressing era in a male birth body.

[Megan Rose]

Just living the dream.

[Joelene9]

Other,

  On HRT but still presenting as male. Other health issue mentioned in my latest post on the Synthyroid problem I had under General Discussions> Health tonight plus financial limits being on minimal Social Security and Medicaid. Medicaid does not cover GD treatments in my state yet. I get HRT under prostate treatment.

I don't. I came out first. That was when I started my transition because it started socially not medically. However I was still a girl even before I came out to everyone. I didn't see it as cross dressing at all.

Its kind of like astronauts. Just because you haven't gone to space doesn't mean you aren't an astronaut. Astronaut training is what makes you an astronaut.

My therapist helped me to learn not to accept the end result of my journey, but the journey itself. Thanks to her, I've been able to enjoy my days and not just be impatiently waiting for it to end.

I am nowhere... Well, I can't exactly say that. I am well beyond the questioning phase (well, I think we all still have some questioning, right?), but I'm stuck there, as pretty much everything in my life has come to a pause because of medical issues.

However, whatever small amount of independence I have been allowed, I have seized. I wear (somewhat) subtly women's versions of everything for my uniform at work, and I have supportive friends.

Still, kind of sad to say that's all I could have managed nine years after joining this forum.

Update. Regular scheduled therapy except for as needed ended in the beginning of May 2015. The trip in April was combined with the September trip due to the insurance requiring the second letter be wrote shortly after the 1 year on hormone date.

I have been in therapy and full time since July 2014. My name and gender marker on everything including birth certificate were completed between July and August of 2014. I have been on HRT since 9/20 and full dose including spiro since 10/31 for the estrogen and 11/1 for Spiro. I started seeing the second therapist who will write the second letter for my first of two visits on March 12 of this year. As far as what is coming up. Both letters will be finished in the near future so the Meltzer has both of them in time for the consult in May. I've been told that because of how the insurance is handling it it's possible that a date for SRS is made at the time of the consult as a result I expect to be for sometime in 2016 and based on how far he is booked out likely late Spring or Summer of 2016. I go back in April to the Second therapist to finish everything she needs for the second letter.

Updating my status:

I am now living full time and enjoying it.   Unexpectedly finding that I pass most of the time. 
On HRT 8 months and will need to make adjustments.
Electrolysis in progress.  Fortunately between natural coloring and age the beard is very light.   I'm sure I'll be doing weekly visits for another year.

I have made legal name change and am trying to catch up changing all the many documents with my old name on them,

I have no plans for any surgery except a possible SRS.  I plan on living in gender for a time and hope that is enough to overcome the disphoria.  Fortunately I don't have a lot of physical disphoria - so maybe I can live with the amount I do have.

[Marly]

I'm seeing a therapist. And have an appointment on June 30 with a new doctor who is listed as trans-friendly. My initial visit, I will be asking her straight out what she needs from me in order to start HRT. So a planned start date is still uncertain, as well as determining if my health will allow it. (but I am confident that that won't be a factor)

[Jacqueline]

Seeing a therapist since January. Out to my wife an a few friends. Starting Electrolysis. Preparing to start Low level HRT. Only presenting male at this point
