Hello, everyone! I would like to first say a big thanks to everyone who has posted over the years.I my self have been reading the forums since I was a teenager and now I am 26 years old.I recently came out as transgender  (MtF)my feelings have been respressed since I was young.I would like to add as much as a relief that was it feels like this journey has only just started.I would like to say I like to throughly research things before committing so I can make the best choice possible.I would like to say as much as I am ready to begin transitioning I feel like I have hit a brick wall.Heres my situation I have a letter of referral to begin HRT and all I have to do is set up a time.I feel like right now it's everything I have wanted in front of me and my dang feelings of selflessness and doubt won't allow me to continue.I mean my dad just came out and told me that we are at the best place we have ever been relationship wise and he's glad he has a son.There are only two people besides who reads this that knows how I feel and that's my step mom and therapist.They seem to think information is on a need to know basis and I should proceed with what makes me happy (HRT) and tell him when I am comfortable. I am by no means in a bad place and I am very happy and know most of my issues are caused by gender dsyphoria.So more about me and my dad is we are very close and he is trying to beat diabetes and he is in a very good place (we are going to the gym 3 days a week and walking 60 min a day.His diet is a the best he's ever been he used to be like let's get a whole pizza for ourselves and now is conscious about what he eats and we have a very healthy diet. So the problem is I am not sure what to do my step mom said do not tell my dad at all. I am still living at home and work with the family business.
Can anybody relate or have any advice on this?
Also thanks for reading and welcomes.

Hi Coffeedrew,
My humble 20 cents worth is you are quite right to decide on HRT in your own mind and heart. I would offer just pin down your reproductive options. It really is one of the biggest side effects of HRT. Apart from that there is many upsides
  Kind regards, Kirsten

Kirsten, to be honest as of right now I do not want children. I feel as long as I raise a decent productive member of society I will be content with my role as a parent. That could be anything from a foster child to my relatives children.I do not need a mini me running around that was tough enough on me lol.Thanks for the reply.
