Congrats @ainsley ! glad you got them to do it. Now when is it happening?

My most recent step was getting my name changed. It was official on the 11th but I found out yesterday.

Awesome!  I felt so good getting my name changed.   Very happy for you!

The doc says Fall is when he expects to do the ffs.  I am going in on Monday to get - yet another - glottoplasty because of popping the stitch last time...  So, one thing at a time I suppose.  :)
Some people say I'm apathetic, but I don't care.

Crossed a big milestone in my weight loss, which I'm holding as a prelude to anything else.

I started at 450+ and I'm down to 298, over 150 pounds lost. My first goal is 200, and my ultimate goal is 150.

I really feel like I can do this.

I've been able to get away with womens dress pants for about a year around the wife, but in the last 2 weeks I've also gone to wearing her old tops as well now. It's getting there! Got a strange look the first time, but I'm wearing her down  :angel:

Samantha, incredible accomplishment.  I know at least partially how difficult this can be, I lost 80 lb / 35 kg a couple decades ago, more since then and have kept it off.  In addition to the obvious benefits, your knees and spine will thank you.
Assigned male at birth 1963.  Decided I wanted to be a girl in 1971.  Laser 2014-16, electrolysis 2015-17, HRT 7/2017, GCS 1/2018, VFS 3/2018, FFS 5/2018, Labiaplasty & BA 7/2018.

I love this thread.
I'm a member of another site and I used to ask the girls in chat this same question and loved to hear the responses.  Some of the steps are minor and some are major milestones.  It's good to share as long as you are comfortable with it.  Small steps and forward progress is what makes me happy.

Missing my first appointment to start HRT, that took two months to schedule, because I remembered the wrong time of day to show up for it.  Grrr...

Missed the second one too, due to a miscommunication!   ???  >:(

However, went to a different place and started on the 18th.   ;D

Congrats Sarah!  Big step.

Continuing facial electrolysis and starting to pre clear (down there) in anticipation of GRS.  Completed RLE timers a while ago and just enjoyed the view there for a bit.  Now getting ready to start my surgical phase of transition.

This is a neat thread as it can help us to look back on steps already taken as well as glimpses into places we strive to walk.

I love and hate electrolysis.  I'm on my second clearing of the upper lip, oooh the pain, but so great when it's gone!  I think I'm on hour 60 around now.

Bari Jo
you know how far the universe extends outward? i think i go inside just as deep.

10/11/18 - out to the whole world.  100% friends and family support.
11/6/17 - came out to sister, best day of my life
9/5/17 - formal diagnosis and stopping DIY in favor if prescribed HRT
6/18/17 - decided to stop fighting the trans beast, back on DIY.
Too many ups and downs, DIY, purges of self inbetween dates.
Age 10 - suppression and denial began
Age 8 - knew I was different
