How would you rate in order of importance of transition

[Swayallday]

How would you rate the order of importance for your transition. Mental health , proper physical presentation, companionship and financial stability. For me personally I'd probably say the mental and physical  presentation are a tie , but just for order of importance sake I'd be much happier if my physical appearance reflected my proper gender then mental followed by companionship then financial. Just a weird reflection of my transition at 22 months. I like the way my physical appearance is moving along and my mental happiness is pretty closely related to my proper gender identity  . It would be nice to have companionship , but that's a complicated situation for me. The financial  is just existential living so really nothing I can do about it. Basically things could be better , but I'm doing all right.

At first gender expression was my most important step, well, my goal in life really. I planned on moving out, becoming financially independent and experiment with my wardrobe & way of looking.

Life gets in the way and that doesn't really seem possible. (read: can't for the love of... find a job haha)

This was starting to concern me the past few weeks so I did call a doctor to rule out a few things on Wednesday.

All in all I want to put my mental health first.

Which is totally not how I wouldve liked it :c. Move out -> have fun/slowly social transit -> see therapist

Is now becoming mental health, financial stability - - - > physical presentation.

*goes back to jobsearching ;-;*

Physical presentation matters most to me (Importance: 9). As long as I am being called 'sir' there can be no happiness.
Mental health is important (7), but I feel that all of my mental health issues are just side effects of living in the wrong body.
Acceptance/companionship is third (3). The HRT instills in me a need to socialize, but at the end of the day that is far less important than being true to myself.
Financial stability is last (2). While it does help to have money for strong anti-androgens and surgery, the truth is that if I had transitioned when I was younger and poorer, I would have seen better results even *without* those expensive remedies.

For over 5 years, I put off transitioning due to financial concerns, fear of rejection by family, and a perceived inability to feminize. Now I know that money and close family ties could not buy happiness. Over five years later, with most of my hair gone and my skeletal structure locked in place, my inability to feminize became a self-fulfilling prophecy.

In order:

proper physical presentation
legal recognition
Mental health
financial stability
companionship

Companionship is dead last because after two marriages I'm kind of burned out. But after this one ends I don't know what the future holds. Definitely not dating until post op SRS.

Passing is more important to me than anything else.

Financial stability is important. No money, no transition. Seems simple.

Mental health is important but I think I'm in a good place.

I will also add legal recognition to that list and place it at #2. It bothers me that I can't even get my birth certificate annotated as female. It's stuck as male until the laws change in my birth country which may be never. This really bothers me.
