Thinking about Transitioning To A Female Almost 18

[slipkid]

I am going to turn 18 in July. I have had thoughts about being a girl since I was really young. The thoughts were never serious up until about 2.5 years ago when I saw a girl at school and started to wonder what I would look like as a girl. My imaginations were pretty vivid and I liked what I thought I would look like. I felt different when I was thinking about it. I felt more complete, and much happier. Ever since then I have been crossdressing. Only in the last two months has transitioning been at the forefront of my mind. I am conflicted because I believe I identify as a girl on the inside but am attracted to girls in the same way that a guy would be. When I imagine having a feminine body, I get arroused, I feel complete, and I am very happy. Everyone I know thinks I am straight and it would be very difficult to convince them otherwise. I am considered by a majority of the girls at my school to be very handsome. I have some questions about transitioning and I will post them below. Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

If you are above averagely handsome as a guy, what is the likely hood that you will be similarly beautiful as a girl after hrt?

I am 6'3.5" 175 Lbs, is there any chance that I could ever pass as a woman granted my height?

Is there any way to very roughly approximate what you would look like facially after hrt?

Hi Slipskid, welcome to Susan's. Woman come in all shapes and sizes and there others on here that are just as tall.

Word, I'm 6'4" and 185 pounds. Ultimately the only one who can prevent you from becoming a woman is you. If you are serious about it, it is an obtainable goal. The road can be treacherous, but  dealing with these emotions is better than concealing them. There are plenty of people here who can attest to that. Do what ever makes you happy, only you can decide what that is, though. Best of luck.

Hi, welcome to Susan's. I'm 6'3" and about the same weight (although I'd like to lose a couple of those kilos). People tend to be overly concerned with whether or not they will be attractive and passable - to my mind that is what you make of it; the number one issue is can you live your life, everyday as a woman since that is the crux of transition. I'd suggest talking to a counsellor or gender therapist to discuss your gender identity and how you might like to proceed. Transition is utterly life changing, but we sometimes lose as much as we gain - so it pays to be very clear about your choices and consequences.
