In the course of my life (and mostly my transition) I have defined to types of major moments.
Turning points- where you have reached a milestone in transition, that changes you life for the better.
WTF moments- That change things to your real, or apparent, detriment.
I am at a turning point. ;D At seven months aggressive HRT, I ditched my breast forms, and can wear a slightly padded bra to show off my real, honest to goodness, boobies. I am in the middle of lasering the beard off, and after each session, can at least enjoy a few days stubble free. Should be smooth by May! After two years full time, I am out to everybody. I don't ever have to duck around a corner because so and so is coming my way. I have a consult for FFS this month.
After so many WTF moments, I can truly say that for now at least, transition is smooth sailing. I have tuned a corner, and like what I see. I still have a ways to go, and will no doubt hit some rocky road (not the ice cream!), but for right now I can enjoy the benefits of my new self.
Comment if you wish, but I just had to put up a nice happy post.
