I'm just starting out, found a therapist here in town, and came out to my gf, which was a shock she was supportive, and am looking for a doctor to see about hrt.baby steps, still scared as ->-bleeped-<-, but like my post title says. "Baby steps" gotta get out there

Yeah, congrats! 

thank you see my therapist again on the 4th  like I said I scared as ->-bleeped-<- thank you for listening and being supportive

I started out with baby steps.. and then found my steps got bigger and bigger..

Baby steps is the way to go IMHO. The spectrum is so broad and the options available to cope with being trans are nearly infinite. Just taking a baby step or two is all that is needed to make life enjoyable.

Good luck mate! And congratulations. It gets much easier. I was riddled with fear when I was in your position. Push yourself. It's very worth it.

Congratulations on finding yourself. Sounds very 60's hippy!
Someone here likened transition to crossing an ocean.  You can do it at a comfortable pace in an ocean liner, or flat out in a speedboat.  Main thing is to be comfortable in each step you take.

  thank you all for your kind words. Going shopping tomorrow for make up and clothes, will be experimenting to try to redefine myself as Emily
