Now that I am on 'mones my glass is slowly getting more full each day. I am so, so excited to see what the next year or so has in store for me. I am about to start my career as well so that is excited. I have no idea what it will be like to be trans in academia but I am kinda optimistic it will open a lot of doors for me.
Started HRT on September 1st, 2015.

Definitely half full. I would definitely call my transition a success. I pass without an issue including voice and the majority of my family and friends have been accepting and supportive. My electrolysis needs are slowing way down and I like the outcome of how I look, and present. I'm comfortable in my body now and with being being myself. I still want GCS and I might do something to improve my hairline so I feel comfortable with my hair pulled back. It's OK as long as a style it properly.

I'd have to say empty at this point in time as I'm still a long way away from HRT but I am trying to fill it with more bit by bit with changes and trials.

Today I am attempting to go to my class in full girl mode (skirt etc) rather than androgynous clothing. I'm honestly terrified of having to ride a bus full of school kids but if I can do this I can probably do anything.

So while I don't have that half full feeling I'm attempting to improve that and be positive.

Good luck SofiN.... Everyone will feel for you and wish you well.... And yes having summoned up the courage to do anything once, the easier it becomes next time round.... Go for it!! K xx

I would say my glass is both half full and half empty.
My transition is going well since I pass most of the time or if I don't people really do not care either way I think.
Half empty would be finding it difficult to get a job at the moment after I transitioned, lol.
oh and lack of boobs is annoying, everyday I am like "grow damn it", especially since my family are like A/B cups, so I imagine ill be like AA or A, lol.
