True Leigh, it is the world test. When I used to work I never really had any problems as they knew I was presenting myself as female but had male ID and now that I do not work and look after my wife I suppose that will be the tough one for the therapist cause my daily routine evolves around caring for a disabled person, going to the shops to buy food and get new cloths, occassionally going out for tea but in general my life is pretty boring compared to girls in the City and younger I guess and because I have been this way for many years, my RLT has already been completed except for the legal documents and the surgery. As for a plan - I would like to have electrolysis but my hairs are very fine and dont grow out for many weeks or even months sometimes. Already on hormones so that gets the tick off the plan. I could do some more in the way of my voice but havent had any bad comments so far and surgery is going to happen once they can find out if I have thrombosis or not. If I do then that could disrupt things a little. Am I missing something here, oh dressing, well I already do that and have done so for many years.
The thing that I dislike about the RLT is that there are some girls just starting out and some still have a very masculine look and then they get thrown out in the world to be a girl and lets face it, the world can be very ugly. It is humiliating for girls who are just starting out and that is supposed to be the RLT. Therapy as I see it should ease you into the roll not throw you head first into the fires from hell. So how was it dressed as a female in public looking not so the way you would like the public to see you well Dr. you tell me ( go out there and do it yourself) then we'll talk.
