Hi, first post here, I'll try to keep it brief.  I've spent a lot of time feeling trapped career-wise thinking there was no way I could be able to transition.  Things have changed in a way that is kind of a double edged sword. I've jumped into the career of long haul over the road trucking and now I see the opportunity to be able to afford going on hormones, keep it relatively hidden as the hormones take effect, and save up the money I need for surgery in the future. On the negative side this is something that I wouldn't feel safe with people noticing when I'm on the road, and there's the fear the hormones might start working faster than I was planning for them to become apparent. But anyway, I feel like I'm ready to start soon. I'm curious if anyone here is in a similar situation. Also with me being on the road, I need a psychologist and doctor that can largely supplement in-office visits with phone visits and won't have any issues with my desire to be on hormones before going public. I guess that's a bunch of stuff for an intro, but here I am ready to get started.

Changes take a while to become obvious. Even so it is possible to keep breasts hidden under layers of clothes.

I realized I left out the important part that I'm MTF, at least once I start the transition process, it's been a long time sitting at the gate, but I'm ready to change that soon...

Hi Trucker!

Welcome to the family, new sister o' mine.

I'm sure you can find a therapist that can work around your on-the-road schedule. I wish I could say something more definitive, but I don't really know. I do know you have support here no matter where you go. I'm so happy for you that you're beginning to transition.

Let us be your home away from home.
