Hi, Lady_sif!
Welcome to Susan's. Please feel free to stop by the Introductions forum (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/board,8.0.html) to tell the members about yourself.
There is no right or wrong way to transition. Your transition plan is something you should work out with the help of a good gender therapist.
The most common path leading to surgery is: HRT, then living full-time in your gender role for at least a year, then SRS. At each stage, you would consult with a therapist to check on how you are doing, and to get recommendations to proceed to the next step.
But whether or not that is the best plan for you is something that none of us can say.
Here is some information that we like to share with new members:
