It has been a great transition for me,a year so far and have not looked back.I knew the secret about me,I was holding on to it for too long.Knew I was born the wrong gender all my life and finally came out in November of 2015.I was a little tearful coming out to my parents and 2 brothers about
this.My parents and two brothers were shocked and did learn I have been in pain for a long time about
this.It included I struggled as male wanting to be female from the inside.I am glad they are in my life still knowing a brother/son is becoming a sister/daughter.I was diagnosed with gender dysphoria in November of 2015,a week before Thanksgiving.The decision on the next step was easy for me,to transition to become the woman I see myself as.I was approved for the HRT in December of 2015 a week before Christmas which I started in January of
2016.It was exciting when I started on the hormones on January 2nd,2016.My parents and brothers were ready for the change too.I loved the changes the estradiol did to me,my mom felt my skin much softer in the 3rd month of my
transition.Shopping for clothes,I learned very well by an image consultant.Tried on so many clothes which was fun.Loved the dresses,skirts and top I tried
on.It was even with the shoes and getting fitted for a bra.I did learn to getting used to wearing a bra at home at
first.It included the shoes too,lots of practice.Then it was when I started living as Liz in my 7th month of my transition it all changed,my parents and brothers welcomed me in as Liz for the first time.They also figured out to use the pronouns she and her around
me.Mom even paid to get my ears pierced.Under the estradiol,I was doing good until January of this year.I was rushed into the hospital with a blood clot which would of killed me.Doctors said it was the estradiol and I had to be taken off of it.I was devastated hearing this.Good thing was I went to a specialist about a patch I could go on instead.I am on the patch and doing great
now.My first surgeries were in March of this year,FFS and Breast Augmentation.I loved the results and my confidence came right back looking in the mirror for the first time.I turned 39 last month and felt it was a rebirth of me as
female.My two brothers and I are
triplets.My family says I have a better life now and agree with them.Look up to me knowing I have not let anything hold me back in anyway.I did recently figure out my sexual orientation,a trans lesbian liking women
only.My family is also supportive of this too.I do plan on having the gender corrective surgery when it comes time.
