start of a new year , where is your transition going,what decisions being made

[zog]

If nothing goes wrong at any point, 2015 will be my first full year on hormones, so probably a lot of things will happen. I'm at a beginning male-fail stage of things and maybe more passing shall happen next year? Maybe, perhaps?

On a more logistical side of things, they're starting to shoot lasers to my face in January, which is good because I've started to hate my facial hair. I might start the process of getting my diagnosis changed from the current one (the easier to get "other gendered") to full transgender status, which would make me eligible for surgical treatments as well as the legal gender marker change. Yeah, it's a bit of a hassle in here, but the upside is that it's all free.

Other than that, more voice training, finding who I am, finding my style and figuring out what's what.

2014-dropped weight, came out to therapist and mom, and started electro
2015-lose more weight, find new electro, and hopefully start HRT

I chose wish was moving faster. Sums up my state of mind most of 2014 and prob will carry over to 2015.

[stephaniec]

lose weight , totally out myself, name change and life

[Jill F]

Finish electro (face and downunda), get in shape, choose surgeon, get surgery date.

[Emjay]

Definitely work on getting electro to the point where I don't have to go twice a week!  Possibly have laser on my chest if HRT doesn't start helping more soon!

Other than that keep progressing toward full time, get my work situation back to a point where I'm not living at my job.  Find a home that's better suited to my family.  Do*something* about my voice!

.......And my wife and I would like to adopt....... 

(But we would like full time, new home and job situation corrected first.  We both would love to share our lives with someone who needs it......  And they would have an amazing big brother here too!)

[PhoenixGurl2016]

Well I am just starting out so My Goals are to make more progress then in any year's past.

[Sabrina]

This next year, I hope to graduate school and get a good job. After that I will try to move out of my house and get everything transferred to my name. Then finally I can change my name, get my gender marker changed, and plan for SRS. I have to plan for the possibility that my folks won't be able to handle what I'm doing. Best to be prepared.

2014..... came out to family andoing friends on facebook. Starrett seeing pychiatrist at VA and started hrt.
2015 continue hrt. When I get out of here start present in some of the time and then all the time. Will be doing hair removal and make decision as the year progresses.

[Zoetrope]

Last year moved very quickly for me. 12 months ago I was still the old me ...

This year's only objective is saving up for SRS. I have no doubts I'll be approved for it (docs all on side).


I am *dreadful* at saving money, and have debts from an ex-partner (thankyou) ... so I figure I'll get a safe or something, and try to load it up with cash. We shall see .... :~o

[sonson]

it was only about two months ago that I was finally able to accept that I am transgender, breaking through years of deep denial.

since then, I've been researching and devouring every bit of TG info I can find online, stuff that I used to actively AVOID out of fear that it would make me realize Im trans (lol)
I've also been allowing myself to crossdress in the mirror (something I stopped doing at around age 16 out of shame, im 23 now). slowly coming to terms with all of this at my own pace.

there have been highs and lows, lots of lows lately as I feel I need to come out soon, but the thought terrifies me. I've been keeping a journal and drawing a lot, which is a nice outlet to get these feelings out of my head. its basically my therapy before I start therapy.

right now Im staying with my parents and family for the holidays until the 6th. Im hoping I can come out to them before I leave, but I highly doubt I will feel ready by then. I live in california and they live in florida, so if I dont come out while Im here then I'll probably have to do it over the phone or through email, which may be easier, but less personal. idk... I dont want to rush myself if I dont feel ready. Im just afraid that I'll never feel ready...

anyway, whatever happens, Im sure that 2015 is gonna be a huge turning point for me. glad i found this website, yall some cool chicks 

[FairyHime]

Well, I started 2014 still wondering what I wanted, and a few months in faced a break up, a birthday in which everyone forgot and left me alone, a good month or so of depression ... and then I finally decided what I wanted.
Came out to my mom
Went to a therapist to confirm I was on the right track
Moved to a new city to start over. New career, new life.
Told my friends. They all were very accepting and moved to my new name and gender.
Got a job. Got insurance. Found a new doctor and started hormones.
Got a boyfriend. Somehow. Maybe he's insane. He's been pretty great though.
Came out at work. Everyone's cool with it and found out they really want me to stay with the company.
Came out to my dad and he was stupidly understanding. Super sexist so I thought he wouldn't accept me, but when he went from asking how many girls I slept with to asking me to be careful about being promiscuous, then I think he's being rather accepting of who I am.
Went full time a bit later.
And earlier this week I accomplished my goal of changing my name and gender marker officially, before the end of the year. That way next year it's my life.

And that will be 2015. Entirely my own life, and it's just about enjoying it more and making it better. Naturally the process is ongoing and I look forward to seeing how much more the hormones do for me, but as a whole I'm just really happy to be happy with myself and my year ending so well after such a rocky start.

[Ariel Renée]

I am happy t say i will be starting therapy January 5th gia skype. Im starting a new job selling toys and plush dolls for disney on ice tour (i love working with kids but i get dysphoric when the women come in dressed up). Im hoping to start hormones by june when the tour is over.  Im working towards my dreams and letting go of drama and not looking back

2014 – Accepted myself, made a transition timetable, found a therapist.
2015 - Start electrolysis, start therapy, and start HRT, FFS at the end of the year.

[LizMarie]

In 2014, I accomplished a lot. Came out at work to boss and HR. Came out to colleagues. Completed legal name and gender marker change on state ID. Transitioned to full time everywhere including work. I even had my youngest son begin to speak to me again.

I am expecting 2015 to be more of the same, integrating as myself, hopefully continued progress with my youngest son, who finally let me meet and hold my youngest grandchild just a few days before Christmas.

But 2015 may be more than that too. In 2012 my mother died. She was not a wealthy woman but she had a little bit, mostly tied up in her home, which she owned without mortgage. It has taken us two years to get a buyer at the price we wanted but patience has paid off. After estate costs and legal costs are settled, I may have a nice small nest egg to help me forward towards GCS. Depending on how large that nest egg actually is, I may be able to plan something for late 2015, but we'll see. I won't count my chickens quite yet but I am cautiously optimistic that my mother's final gift to me might help me close yet another chapter in my life and open a new one.

[kelly_aus]

2015 will be much like 2014.. Living my life.. Although I no longer have therapy as part of the equation..

This year, I'd like to move back to Melbourne. Maybe get an orchi.. But mostly it's a year of just living.

[Newgirl Dani]

All I know is the train is going in generally the right direction.  In the past, I would have spent all my time in the club car in an oblivion of my own making.  Now, I'm going to take a window seat and enjoy the scenery.   Dani

[JLT1]

Good questions...

I'm full time.  I pass.  I had my first girl hair cut last week.  My wife and I settled everything - I'll post about that somewhere else. 

I have a few more pounds to loose. 

I have some medical issues to address related to transition.   

I am having body shaping sometime late spring.  Loose skin around the tummy and torso from weight loss.   Probably a breast reduction or some reshaping I'm a 40DDD/F and they just aren't quite the shape I want.  A little touch up on the face.

Part 1 of SRS will come sometime this spring or summer.

I start singing as a woman in a choir this summer.

I just bought a motorcycle - a 2007 Triumph Tiger 1050.  Looking for a pink or red leather jacket.....

Hugs,

Jen

 2014  Gave up any pretext of presenting as male, full year spent as me in transition, told mother and sister both supportive, told work went well, lost 150lbs (I was huge), found I was able to   feel joy again, started electrolysis, full year on finasteride hair coming back ugly bits diminished.

2015   Seeing gender therapist Jan 5th, hope to start HRT, lose another 50lbs, tell brothers haven't told them though they have seen my appearance change.

[Elsa Delyth]

OMG! EVERYTHING.

I will be starting HRT right away, also will be trying to increase my vocal range, and find my voice... I'm also quite hairy, so have to do something about that. Get my face electro'd, but waxing everything else might be fine, until my T levels drop enough. Trying to figure out makeup and clothes... EVERYTHING!

I've been putting this off for over half of my life, and this is the first time I've ever felt like I have direction for my life, or plans for the future. I do plan to be dress in my guy cloths for as long as I can manage, and even probably bind if I have to until I'm confident enough that I look, and sound marginally womanly.

[Megumi]

2014 was an amazing year for me, changed my name and gender marker, started living authentically, and reached 1 year on HRT.

In 2015 I want to get out more, I want to get into the 150 lb range, make a really huge effort to pay off my debt's so I can start putting money away for GCS, get out into the dating world.
