I have been seeing my therapist for almost 5 months now and my next app is December 2 to start my formal 5 week WPATH eval cor HRT. He says he doesn't see any issues but has a slight concern that I occasionally express doubt about my transition. I have already started laser on my face, shaving and waxing elsewhere, and identify myself as feminine/trans. I feel like I would be irresponsible if I didn't occasionally feel doubt. It's pretty damn scary . in would appreciate any feedback ladies., it messes with my head at times

my therapist has no issues with me expressing occasional doubt. She feels that's healthy and normal.

I had expressed some doubts as well, RuthFrances, but here I am, a year into HRT and I feel so much better. I still feel some kind of "doubt", but really, it's insecurity about passing more than anything else. From the wisdom of Bobby McFerrin, I leave you with this: don't worry, be happy.

You're making big changes, Francis. No way for you to know what it will be like. If you had no doubts you would be hiding from reality.

My therapist relied on my say-so when I thought I was ready, doubts or no.

Transition, HRT, and SRS, all generated copious doubts. Yet all three have turned out to be very positive.
