Thanks for all the amazing advice! Yes, my wife has been incredible and extremely supportive. She is constantly reassuring me that she is in this relationship forever. The blessing of our baby is an added plus to our relationship of course.
In regards to transitioning; I have always wanted to transition, it was just a matter of the how's and when's. I wanted to make sure that I "synchronized" everything...or as much as I could (lol).
Another possible kink is that although I am not a high profile person in my industry, I still have to make sure that I do this correctly and I want to be considerate of those that are involved with me and around my professional circle. So, I am not sure if I will eventually go "public" meaning I would not really be "stealth". I'm still thinking about that one.
I regards to school, I recently received my certificate and I can easily get my AA from the same college if I stick around for another semester or two.I was hoping to transfer to another University for my BA (both colleges/University are LGBT friendly). And at that point (as some suggested) I would change my name and get all the needed documents taken care of. I was also told that they may be able to switch my name on the AA. My birth name can be either female or male anyway.
As far as appearances go, I'm already in the semi-andro stage. I've always sort of dressed this way. I've played in rock bands most of my life so people are already use to that look and I think (your opinions please) it might make it easier for me. Although I recently discovered skirts are very comfy
. I am 6ft...or 5'12 as I tell some lol so height and shoulders my give a hint that I am not genetically female, but I have gathered the courage from many on here NOT to care what others think.
I am currently considering some sort of hair weave or replacement in general since my hair is thinning ( I currently shave it all or sport a little mowhawk).
I've also "Come out" to most of my friends and they have all been incredibly understanding. Even my manly-men ones. Now-a-days when we hang out, they'll joke a bit about me...but that's really okay, since I know it's there way of dealing with it.
I guess it's now up to me huh? I should be starting my Femones in a few weeks. For now, I've just been preparing. I'm still intending to make a deposit at the sperm bank since my wife and I want another child eventually. We're lucky we live in a city that has a large LBGT community so lesbian parents are no biggie.
Again, thanks to all of you that have made my little bit of anxiety and depression fade with your kind and beautiful comments.
Keep it coming.
HUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
