Hello everyone, I am a 43 year old MTF trans. I've been on HRT since November 2012 and I have had over 100 hours of electrolysis on my face. So I have been at it for quite some time. I expected to go full time sooner, but its looking like mid 2016 after FFS. I want my transition to go right and it has so far gone to plan. My plan was always "event based" and not based on specific dates - some things like the electrolysis has taken longer than I originally expected due to not being able due to work related travel.
I have a wonderful partner who is also MTF who will be having her SRS in March, so I have a lot of personal support and home. I also have a female friend who helps me out with hair and makeup advice.
The next big step is my voice therapy - I need to start that as soon as I can.
I registered here at Susans a while back but I never posted before.
