I have been going at this slowly, it has been a long time.
Just go at the pace that seems good for YOU.

Chrissy
Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

For me, and I know I'm not like most, coming to terms with wanting to transition was a long process. Once I made the decision, it couldn't happen fast enough! Starting at 60 also was a huge factor in wanting to move fast.

I guess I've been transitioning since 2016 when I started low dose E.  I've put off full transitioning because of my daughters and wife.  Both daughters are married now and happily living with their husbands.  My wife has never been a fan of my gender.  She's not accepting, we're basically housemates these days.  If I fully transition we will go our separate ways. 

Looking back I think it's a little like pulling a band-aid off fast or slow.  I probably should have endured the quick pain and just went for it. 

I feel I'm in a purgatory, the low dose eventually makes changes. At times I feel so close and other times I feel a million miles away from where I want to be.

Sarah I don't think I'm qualified to say "how fast" but if you want an example of a 62 year old living with a lot of regret, that would be me.
Cheers,
Paige  :)

I used to think a lot about these lines from "Landslide":

"Time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm growing older too."
