I've been on HRT for 7 months, but I'm still living in "boy mode" for the the time being. My life has a lot of frustrations- I don't see my kids enough, I work three jobs for way too little money (and no benefits), and if I reflect on the inherent uncertainty of my life once I make the leap and start living as a woman, it's pretty terrifying...

I have an amazing, compassionate, beautiful girlfriend. The friends and family members I've come out to have been more supportive than I would ever have imagined. I get maam'd on the phone sometimes without even trying to sound like a girl. I have a therapist I really like.
