I think for me would be my face totally feminizing and my breasts becoming very ample. Would probably be my top hopes.

...ahh, but there's limits.  Give a girl unlimited money for any/all needed clothes, meds, surgeries, and resources possible but make her alone and without support: sad girl indeed, and not a successful transition imo.

So, money's not the most important thing in a transition, but holy shizzle it goes a very very long way >:-)

Money indeed, we have so much limitation due to this.. i had to select wich surgeries i would get done first then i have to save again for next wave... honestly most of us are so poor due to unemployement and our expensive transition  then second thing for me is GE NE TI C ( wich sadly you cant decide, im however happy with what i got)    .

It can make you cis-like/stunning. This makes your life  so much easier, happier and healthier..

whoever said that money doesnt create happiness got it all wrong  >:-)


Third thing for me would be the ability of self-acceptance  ( the "i dont care mode ") .  I am never satisfied and i always want more. Hopefully i can accept myself  for who i am one day

Broad acceptance and some sort of support system. Obviously money. I've wished I had been born in this generation. It seems, in many cases, this generation has it easier. It's more acceptable to be androgynous and gender ambiguous.

I'll go with acceptance money and support. That could happen.

I have a different take on this, I believe what makes a successful transition is your ability to accept the things as they are and improve anything that you can psychologically.

I think beyond the physical aspects of transition, most if not all of us deal with our own fears, anxiety and internalized shame and guilt. If you can work on those first and be happy with yourself is what I consider a successful transition.

I have seen women spending so much changing what's in the outside only to be left empty and unfulfilled.

Also, humility and kindness will go a long way.

Money doesn't solve everything but it sure does smooth some of the bumps.

Acceptance of self.  This journey is hard.  It starts with that.

Treat each day as a day of discovery.  Time to find something new, time to grow as a person

Acceptance by others is given by them.  Do what is necessary to earn it while being true to oneself.  If you can't do that, their acceptance isn't worth anything.

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.

Hmmmm for me it would have to be:

1. Getting rid of the darkness above my upper lip. It absolutely drives me insane and is the only reason why I don't go completely makeup free in public.

2. Growing breast to that more of a pre-teen girl lol After a almost a year, 1yr anniversary March 4th ;D , I'm only just filling an A-cup. At least I got something

3. SRS, GCS, GRS to me it is really important to have this surgery done

4. Getting rid of my depression and anxiety that has come about during transition. To have a clear mind would be great!

Hands down, the most powerful tool available to insure a smooth, successful transition is a good attitude.  With a good attitude, every defeat can easily be turned into an advantage.  Indeed, with a good attitude, every defeat must certianly be temporary.

A definite decision about what we desire combined with unwavering faith (the certainty that we can accomplish that which we've set out to accomplish) is an absolute recipe for success.

The greatest danger to be avoided at all cost is doubt.  Doubt will hold us back at a minimum, and destroy our plans altogether at its worst.  Not surgeries, nor unlimited funding, nor social support for days can overcome runaway doubt.  Neither can any force in the world stand in the way of a definite desire backed by unwavering faith.

Love!

A culture of people that wouldn't require a term to describe what we are doing as "transition".  I mean I am transforming from human into...   human!  It should just be "yep, that's ol' [name], they are awesome at what they do and an amazing conversationalist.

But reality?  A place to go hide for a year or two like a resort that has all surgeries and hair removal and clothes and gym and voice training and anything else one might need on site.  Ok, this isn't reality either,  but it is more plausible than the first one.

Being called ma'am for starters. Getting at least the minimum requirements of passing which is a passing face I didn't say Barbie doll face and a very good female voice. Large breasts is really is a want not need. Gaining confidence in yourself doesn't which I think comes with time and patience.All this being said it is a game of patience and perseverance. A touch of objective third party honesty does 't hurt.

Money is really important because transition is very expensive, and a lot of procedures we need are still viewed as cosmetic and not covered through insurance.

Hi ladies, For me I think it would be a mind that has worked through all the issues of transitioning. A happy and healthy minded person can set goals and really go all out for them, than someone still trying to come to terms with everything. Alot of things like money and support do count , but maybe it all starts in these beautiful heads of ours.   ::)

1 - The confidence to know you are doing the right thing
2 - The ability to accept that there will be good days and bad days
3 - A good medical team that includes a therapist and endocrinologist
4 - A support system of friends and hopefully family and employer
5 - Medical insurance that covers necessary transition related costs
6 - Patience and more patience. Changes don't happen over night.
7 - Money!
