How do you see your transition

[stephaniec]

I feel my transition has been quite complicated and painful. I wish transition could of been done at birth , but whatever. I think I've always viewed my path in life as trying to heal an abysmal wound. I'm finally getting there.

[Zoetrope]

It's been nothing less than the keys to my prison.

[suzifrommd]

Achieving a lifelong dream.

[Mariah]

A various combination of the items listed, but I think Zoe stated it well with one short statement and that it really was the keys that unlocked the prison to which I was in which results in my being free now.

taking courage to set myself free from a psycological wound placed upon me by scocial norms, in order to adjust my body and lifestyle in a needed way to live out a life representing myself as a individual, instead of an un-fullfilling life as a steritype of a wider group exspressing no identity of its own.

uhhh i consider my transition to be a series of steps i have to take to be comfortable with my body and physical appearance

[saraht123]

I'm not very far with my transition, but I'm hoping to find the freedom to simply be myself.

[Serenation]

Achieving peace.

My life was chaos before transition.

[stephaniec]

I'm in such a happier place since transitioning

[Kellam]

It has been a bit of everything listed in the poll. But if I had to put it into words...peace, simplicity, freedom and wholeness.

Simply being free: I'm the happiest that I've been in a long time. Sure there are ups and downs but so far more ups and hopefully it stays that way.

Correcting some biological anomalies for me: Should've been born female, then I would've been a lot more comfortable with myself

I didn't see "Complicated and Painful" as a choice

Find the courage to do something for me resonated on two levels. "Doing something for me" has been a fairly foreign concept. Much of my life was directed towards doing what was expected of me, either by others (parents, grandparents, ect.) or myself. Being the "Go along to get along", hide in the background type of person, doing something as totally outrageous as transitioning, even daring to think of it in terms other then a fantasy, took and still takes courage.

My fears ruled my life, my soul, for decades.

[Jayne]

My transition is an effort to see tomorrow.

Whilst I'm fighting against social anxiety and depression on a daily basis I feel happier now than I've felt for over a decade prior to HRT,  I've managed approximately 2 yrs without coming close to suicide when before HRT it was a daily fixation so as hard as things are right now I know I'm on the right course.

For me it's being able to be happy.  But on a smaller scale its a day by day step by step process of figuring who i really am and want to be.
