Mentally I feel is the hardest part about preparing myself to transition. I know I am a girl inside, that is waiting to come out. But I dread telling people close to me, who could possibly reject me. I know i can not overcome my fear of rejection but i can face it and hope that things will be all all right. I would like to plan my transition some time in late winter or early spring. Soon I would like to come out to my mom, word will go around to my sister.
     The best thing I could hope for at this time is tolerance.

I did not see you say you have a therapist, but it is something i would suggest you find. They can help you in every step along with needed papers if that is something you might need going forward with HRT, SRS. etc.

Lots of luck. Do not let fears stand in the way of you living a happy life. I found 99% of the fears end up being lies.

I have found a therapists that i have been going to the last 2 weeks. At this point i dont feel guilty the way i feel. I would like to start HRT in later in winter. The thing is I like to take one step at a time. I get so paranoid over thinking what my sister and her being recently pregnant, what she images me as uncle, and my cousin is having a wedding. I dont want to be selfish and take their day away. I keep thinking should I wear a suit, a dress, a womens suit?
   Izzy, how did you overcome your fears and how did you make your transition into a reality.

I would do what make you feel secure with who you are at that moment in time. Many use the selfish, just remember that works both ways. Glad you do have help with a therapist.

Take things as you feel you are ready. There are many here that are trying to get to the end before they even start at the begining. Transition is not a race, no one wins if they get to the end faster then others.
