2014 was the year I realised I was trans and started to come out to my closest friends. In the second half of the year I've also started wearing a lot of male clothes. Buying them for the first time, then wearing them outside, felt like a massive step.

2015 will be the year I start being myself. I'm not saying that I'll be totally open with everyone by December, but I know I'll be getting closer. Hopefully I'll get to see a specialist at some point next year too. I want to get more active in the community too.

This year I must not deny myself any longer, even if it means  pain for me in losing those closest to me.
Timeline still to be decided (finding right time, right words, support lines in place)

I want a nice deep beautiful vagina in 2015. Then heal up & really enjoy myself with some men.
mtF, mid 50's, always a girl since childhood, HRT (Spiro, E & Fin.) since 8-13. Hormone levels are t at 12 & estrogen at 186. Face lift & eye lid surgery in 2014. Abdominoplasty/tummy tuck & some facial surgery May, 2015. Life is good for me. Love long nails & handsome men! Hopeful for my GRS & a nice normal depth vagina maybe by late summer. 5' 8", 180 pounds, 14 dress size, size 9.5 shoes. I'm kind of an elegant woman & like everything pink, nice & neet. Love my nails & classic Revlon Red. Moving back to Florida, so excited but so much work moving

2013 I accepted the fact I was transgender and came out to the wife. 2014 I went to the therapist who confirmed that I was transgender. 2015 I hope to start HRT.

And I'm going to lose weight from 195lb down to 125lb
This is definitely what I need to do to fit in a slim low cut black lace dress I need

looks like close to 90% of those in  transition are pretty comfortable with they're transition excluding the need for speed

MMXV will be my moon landing and there is no stopping my rocket for anything or anyone! I'm going to get FFS in a few months, none of this "next year" bull->-bleeped-<- I keep telling myself. Then right after that I make my legal name changes, then go full time. Then as soon as I can, get SRS if I'm financially where I want to be.

When he was ready he showed it to his friends and they said he had created a great statue. And the sculptor said he hadn't created anything, the statue was always there, he just cleared away the small peices." Rambo III

You go girl!!!

To move forward is to leave behind that which has become dear. It is a call into the wild, into becoming someone currently unknown to us. For most, it is a call too frightening and too challenging to heed. For some, it is a call to be more than we were capable of being, both now and in the future.

I've only just recently accepted who I am and who I want to become.  That however doesn't change a few of my goals I already had in place for 2015..

Losing weight (still on target for my ideal weight by Autumn).
Getting a car (I'm hoping this will help in my transition.. buses are *not* fun places to be, even in male-mode, let alone trying to pass)
Trying to concentrate on my job and push myself further there.

So on top of them, some new goals I've set since accepting myself..

Got my first appt. with medical world before Jan 1st, hopefully start female hormones soon into 2015.. (even if I have to go down the private route !)
Hair removal! Don't know the logistics of this just yet.. will figure it out soon enough.
Figure out what the hell to do with my voice!

And the final goal.. hopefully by winter next year be able to step out in the world as the person I've always wanted to be.

By winter next year I hope to be the person I've always wanted to be.  :)

I want to patch things up with Birkin. Anymore it feels like I lost Jannie all over again. He made it worth coming home from a ->-bleeped-<-ty job. I love his smile and NO ONE made me laugh like he did.I'm usually so used to people drifting in and out of my life but, I felt like I was in the right place when I was in his arms.

At this point I have started contacting therapists to set up an appointment hopefully early January.  So the plan for 2015 is therapy, come out to family, and HRT. Depending on finances some form of hair removal and saving for future expenses are also in the works.

Only became aware that transition was feasible a couple months ago. I'm determined to go full steam ahead. I changed my name decades ago. My life and work are essentially gender neutral. The only thing that really needs doing is top surgery. I'm meeting a surgeon in 2 days but don't know yet if that's who I'll go with. Maybe I'll take a trip to Thailand. One way or another the lumps must go before August.

This year I want to do a few things.

Go full time and come out fully at work. My company is supportive and my closest peers kinda know already.

Legal name change and gender marker change. NJ streamlines the process, no surgery required.

Get my voice including possibly a trip to Yeson.

I still have far to go but I feel I can't live as the male me for much longer.

My transition is progressing well. 2014 was my first full year of HRT and I had my birth certificate, gender marker and name changed. I even had the honor of being the first in my city doing it by the new legislation. And last but not least, I have gotten a referral for SRS and planned a surgery date.
This will make 2015 a big year. My goals are to serve out my contract at work to finish my SRS payment, finish laser hair removal, have a good recovery from SRS and make a good start on a new study.

Looking toward the future has always prooven difficult for me but I like to believe 2015 will be the year I finally reach my ideal weight. 2014 was full of bumps in the road, somehow I managed to get my name changed and while at the D.M.V. the lady changed the sex on my liscense without asking me..thanks lady :). Also, I hope to make some much needed Trans friends this year..they are so hard to come by.
