I think it was when my wife told me about six weeks into HRT that if I ever stopped, she would kill me because I was such a drastically better person.

Interesting. When was the point? I slowly, deliberately and methodically destroyed every single bridge that I could use to go back to him.

I think in retrospect it was when I decided to do that.

There is nothing and no one to go back too.

This I how I feel things are going for me at the moment!! I feel that ive subconsciously decided to drift away from certain people and freinds!! Its quite sad in a way, but I dont want to have to spend much time as a boy anymore!!

The group of freinds I have come out to have been very accepting and just seem to see me as any other woman!! Its so good that they have been accepting of me and also ive made freinds in dance classes and stuff

So like you I feel that ive gotten to the point where id have very few people to go back to if I were to stop now :/ and also I like having freinds who know me as zoe

Once I popped my first HRT meds.

Ditto.

That weekend and everyday since, I couldn't believe how good I felt. I knew then that there was no going back.
I'd be on E till I die.

If we're talking building a new female life? Then I'm not sure I'm at that point yet. March 2014 started HRT. Am passing now.
Should be transitioned at work in October. Maybe soon after that?

It was the moment when I was sitting on the therapists couch and I told her that I wanted to move up to a transitioning level dose of HRT. She had me think about it until the next appointment, and warned me that there would be no quitting if I decided to make that move. I came back a month later with the same request, knowing full well what was about to happen with my life and with my 27 year marriage.

That is beyond awesome, Tori.  My wife doesn't want to see the likes of "him" ever again for the same reason.  She also digs the "new girl smell".  I guess I did sort of used to be a moody, angry a*hole.

My fiance definitely prefers me on E to T.  I think our relationship has gotten better since I decided to transition which has definitely helped me along.

Another great thought provoking thread.  Like some I knew clearly when i finally accepted myself as transgender.  Perhaps because of waiting so long, I went full time, pre everything, soon after.  Feeling my inner girl and giving up on trying to be a man was a mix of joy and relief.  My life has continued to brighten since then.  It was with a profound, lightning striking certainty I knew there was no going back into that straight jacket again.  Like Cindy i methodically cut that act loose and have nothing go back too and don't miss any of it.  Like Tori, Jill and Rose my wife and many others like Tessa much better and will occasionally tease me about acting like "him" if they want to make a point about acting like an a**hole.
Nothing unique, I too feel levels of euphoria and contentment about being on E to the final curtain.

For me that point will come when I will be kicked out from male WC. Dont really see that happening anytime soon

I might happen sooner than you think. I was caught by surprise when it happened to me and I thought the entire world must be blind.

My point of no return was when I came out to everyone. I would not have told them unless I was sure and once I did tell them I was fully committed to the process. I have no regrets at all and I will never go back. I was emotionally numb and (to some extent) physically numb as well.

Congrats!!

I have had a number of people say similar things. Even my friend of 30 years said he prefers me as I am now and he always regarded me as the older brother he never had. (He already has an older siste he does not get on too well with so maybe there is a role for me there!)

I'm the dark haired girl in my avatar pic.

I'm in the same boatas you maybe, idk. Am thinking of going drag at the local gay club here lol.

But prolly not

Last November and kind of on a whim, I stopped into the District Court, filled out the paperwork, sat around for a few hours until my docket ticket came up, and legally became Julie Anne Blair.  At that point I felt all in and the rest was details.

Can you spell naive?  Seems that there are a lot of details.  Some of which are still being sorted out.

Julie is a work of growth and a work in progress, whose birthday extends from that day in court, and whose adolescence continues unabated.

OK, I just spewed sparkling water all over my monitor.

From my wife's observation, the bigger the truck, the smaller the junk.  I always thought a perfect vanity plate for a jacked-up monster truck would read "CMPNS8R".

I love that! I had "NOS482" on my Harley. Hope to get it again for the next one. Can't wait to buy women's leathers!

I reached the point of no return six months after I realized I might be trans on the day I came out to my wife. No way to take that back even though I present as male and won't start HRT until next month at the earliest.

I'm not full time yet (what I call 90% time or 95% time) but I knew on the day I told my spouse that I needed to transition there was no turning back. And strangely enough, she and my sons made that decision even more solid by their actions towards me subsequently. When they were done, there was no "him" left to return to.

I don't know if I have hit a point of no return yet, but as soon as I found out how accepting all of my friends any family would be, I can't think of a reason why I would want to go back. Hopefully I'll hit that point of no return officially sooner than I think.
