I am a bit over 5 years in, and considering what I was dealing with, and then meeting the challenges of readapting, yeah, I'm golden...

Still a few major expenses ahead, but the hard stuff is long over. Just need to mop up with electro, perfect my face, and maybe sculpt my body a bit, but all of that is icing on the cake, I'd be a fool to not see that...

All the losses, pain, doubt, adjustments, long done, long gone.

Only wish it happened long ago, but who doesn't?

I have just begun to scratch the surface.  I want to take the plunge, I want to do so many things, and I just am unable to yet.. I'm being a bit impatient, I know.

I've been doing good with mine. It always isn't easy but I don't question my progress nor my decision.

Dying, as of today, is going to happen regardless... unless they come up with a cure.

As one who lives in poverty with little chance of ever attaining gainful employment, it's excruciating to see how limited options are.

When I consider where I was this time 2 years ago I have come a long way but it has not been without its bumps...but aren't life journeys like that...nothing that a good therapist and time can't deal with...I have yet to tame the self acceptance beast and that will have to be a work in progress...each day is one day closer.

My transition is slow but it is moving forward constantly with little changes (hair and clothes) and big changes (HRT and therapy) over the last 3 years. I'm happy with that. Later this year I'll start facial hair removal. I think I'd be a wicked mess if I hadn't started transition.

I'm almost to a year of transition and I have to say it's been amazing. My only complaint is how slow breast development can be and how I worry sometimes over something completely normal where nothing is wrong with my boobs. I'm a bit impatient. XD but it's been amazing and I can't wait to see year 2 and beyond.

It's moving along.

11 months since coming out to my wife; 8 months since starting HRT; almost 4 months full time; 3 months since filing for mediated divorce; 2 months since estradiol likely moved above the male range; 1 month since my legal name change.

I've managed to keep busy, and that helps.

My personal transition path included medical changes.  The path others take may require no medical intervention, or different care.  We each find our own path. I provide these dates for the curious.
Electrolysis - Hours in The Chair: 238 (8.5 were preparing for GCS, five clearings); On estradiol patch June 2016; Full-time Oct 22, 2016; GCS Oct 20, 2017; FFS Aug 28, 2018; Stage 2 labiaplasty revision and BA Feb 26, 2019

9 month since coming out to my wife. 2nd month on HRT. Taking things slow to allow my wife to adjust. Even with only 6 weeks on hormones I can say I have not felt this good in years.
So overall - slow but very happy so far.

Cant Complain.. many years down the line now..

I am happy what hormones have given me, I inherited my mothers family figure which gave me a slightly bigger bum and hip area I would have liked, but then I got my mother breasts (D cups), which i love :-)

SRS surgery was not picnic, but the end result was well worth it and I am very happy with that result.

Life as a woman more than I could have ever expected , I am such an out going person now and enjoy life to the full.
Enjoying ride the hormones are giving me... finally becoming the woman I always knew I was

It's been wonderful! Sure there has been some really hard times and some really bad times. But over the last 4 years I've grown so much! I had to go through all that to be the woman I am today  ;D
