I am full time now and my name and gender change was granted by the court at the end of last month. My drivers license has been changed and so has my work ID. My financial records have mostly been changed and all of my insurance - medical, dental, life and automobile have been corrected. I have updated my professional licenses and have sent off a request to correct my college and law school records and to get new diplomas. It is really a pain to get all of these records/accounts changed over but I have to say that I have had a lot of great comments from the customer service reps when I have asked to have my records changed.

I still have a long ways to go before I will be done but it is all good.

I am a month and a half on HRT and had AA reduction a few weeks ago.  My Court date for name and gender change is in a month.  I will be going full time at work in the middle of June.  Life is good!!

Hi,

Im one of those very fortunate ones  who did not transition or needed to well being different sure comes in handy , well I think so,   yes I am on hormones a very low dose one of only  ya ya intersex . and had corrective surgerys , so my advantage in being female  with a little rounding of male just to help me in life and it has and im very pleased it was part of my makeup ,

I know many would not like what  I say with out my male makeup I would not be here its so much a part of who I am,   I just could not live with  out this part of myself get to know me and youd understand what makes me who I am,   my friends do most of them,

strange weird  what ever  call me what you like this is who I am and am I loved for being myself, well you can answer that ,

....noeleena...

I can't begin my transition for two more years, because I'm only 16 at the moment, and my mother won't allow me to take hormones, let alone dress as I'd like. 

I did finish my transition at top surgery and hrt. I did live full time as male. Now I'm in detransition, stopped taking hrt and living full time as my female birth sex. The only further transition-related procedure that I'm sure I want from here on is that I want a reversal top surgery, to reconstruct what was removed. Hair removal, etc, I'm uncertain of. Gotta give my body more time off from the testosterone first.

I'll go for the update too.  I feel very comfortable with my transition and have a sense that this is good enough. While I have considered doing more, the risks, costs and uncertainty are not worth the possible gains to me.  HRT, some laser, electrolysis and my orchiectomy have resulted in a very happy non binary sorta girl person.  I don't fuss about passing or pronouns much and mostly even like my tenor to bass voice.  And then I started late and had modest expectations that have been nicely exceeded.  My emotional peace is the most precious gift along with a body that is simply a delight every day i start by giving myself a squeeze. 

Of course i do have a magic wand and a creative, if simple, fantasy world where love and sharing prevails and all are readily satisfied.  You know, kinda like those wonderful early cousins of ours, the bonobo monkeys?

I started hrt at age 44, going on 6 years at the end of November, 2018. I just could not stand not being on hrt anymore(m2f tg). I commend all those before me who transition and/or detransition at their own volition. Science has yet to catch up on the rainbow of gender fluidity that is in nature. As more people come out, I feel more comfortable as to where I want to be, sans workplace and home location(working on those two).

I commend all of you , for giving me more options to choose what to be in my personal life. Being gender binary sucked, but it was a necessary evil I had to go through and the people I met. Somebody had to trailblaze. I still remember my drill instructor at MCRD SD, getting in my face and call me in spanish in a low whisper, "Mujer". Still resonates in my mind, 30 years afterwards. I was like hey, I want to give it a shot at being a man, lol, needless to say, I failed(at times), to some, at the moment, remains to be seen.

I'm still under construction, pardon my sweat...

I'm on HRT and have had an orchiectomy. My doctor likes my levels, but has offered more estradiol if I choose to take it. I declined, this is where I want to be. 

Well it has taken many years to move forward, now I am 2/3rds done my facial hair removal, growing out my hair, and HRT is coming up in 7 weeks. So yes still under construction as stated above! Don't know far the project will go though.

I don't really know.  I was part female all my life, and am in the process to finish up the last part that is still male to be turned into a woman (it is actually my plumbing only that needs to be changed)

Started cyproterone may 2015. Full Estrogen HRT 2016. These days HRT + part time. Public presentation next step.
Life is good.

I'm finished. Got all the stuff I need. Living my life and feeling a lot better.

I'm almost 15 months on mtf hrt.  I don't feel like I'm where I want to be. There's a lot of things I feel I still need, but I don't have the money to afford surgeries and I think I need more time on hrt anyway.  The things I want the most are long hair, less body hair and a nose job.

I am close to done.  I still want GRS (okay, that's not minor, I know) and a trachea shave.  I am not going for any other surgeries. 

I consider the biggest part of my transition to have been social.  Going full-time was huge.  GRS is just fine-tuning the results, in my opinion.

I just put my FIRST estradot patch on yesterday ( although I live in the future (NZ) so my ticker is still confused...)
Living part time atm, although I have had a few public outings dressed overtly femme.  For me personally I find facial hair the biggest thing that needs sorting before I feel comfortable presenting in public more often.

Granted, I  don't have a very dense beard, and the hair is very slow growing.  All my dark hair was eliminated with two laser sessions, an I will start electrolysis in mid January.  In the meantime, I am able to keep my facial hair very well almost invisible by using one of those 5 blade razor cartridges for a Gillette handle.  I bet any other 5 blade wet razor will do a similar good job!

Lets see...

1.) Finding a gender therapist was the first thing I did to begin my transition, and I had my first visit September 1st, 2016. 
2.) My legal name change was in November of 2016. 
3.) I have basically been living as male for most of my life, but I started telling people my pronouns are he/him/his once I had my legal name change.
4.) I came out to immediate family slowly, but I "officially" started in May of 2017.
5.) I "officially" transitioned socially on National Coming Out Day,  October 11th, 2018. 
6.) I'm now doing top surgery research to find a surgeon that takes my insurance
7.) I'm seriously considering bottom surgery.

WOW, I've done more than I realized!

I'll be 15 months on hrt this Saturday.
And I went full time around September this year.
That's about it so far.

Odd options.  I've bee full time a few years, on HRT longer, had bottom surgery and FFS.  Social transition is essentially done.  I may have one more surgery to tidy up loose ends, personal comfort issues, but it isn't really part of my transition.

I suppose I'm done.

I really don't know when I started with me reclaiming my body.  I know that I had dreams about it 15 or 16 years ago.  My body started to feminize itself about 4 to 5 years ago.  I came out to a very small group of friends at the later half of last year, and I came fully out this summer.  I live more or less full time as a woman (except those times when I go as a guy to repair shops).
I started HRT  almost 2 months ago, and are not really effected by it.  I will see the leading endocrinologist for gender issue in SW Florida  early next week, to have him determine why  HRT seems to have no effect on me.  Also next week (actually a day after I see the endo), I will see an urologist to start discussion about an orchiectomy.

Once the orchie is done, I plan to start with the name change procedure (I need to do that for the Euro passport and for the US passport - this might be a new adventure!).  I plan to have bottom surgery done as soon as possible, but will not apply a time table to it at the moment.

Where am I with my reclamation?  Probably in the later half of it, or close to the end if I do not get bottom surgery.

Do you need to live full-time as female for a year to get an orchi?
If that procedure is considered a transsexual surgery for the patient, would it be covered under health care insurance?
