Courtney, everyone needs to approach this at their own speed. I've known I was trans since a very early age but I kept convincing myself it wasn't feasible, I wouldn't pass without FFS and I could not afford that so don't try. I have been scared stiff of telling anyone I was trans but since coming onto Susans I have bared my soul, I've posted pictures of myself, I've come out to my Mother and now I've officially come out to medical staff.
I really feel that I am starting to gradually overcome the fear little by little. My time frame for transition is going to be 12 months give or take, partially for financial reasons, partly due to the time it will take for treatments and partly due to needing to loose weight. I hope by this time next year I will have beaten the fear for good.
