I'm glad to see this forum blossoming too!
I didn't vote in the poll quite yet because I'm not sure how to answer so I figure I'd vote after I'd type my response.
Ideally, yes I do have plans on transitioning. If I live long enough, then I intend on carrying those plans out.
However, to what degree of transitioning and defininig it, that's still a blur. I know my first step in my transition is to get top surgery because I'm more likely to afford that than T right now, but I still plan on living as a female for an undertemined amount of time. I suppose that would be a "partial" transition, maybe?
As for hormones: It is my plan to start in 3 years perhaps, sometime after top surgery (assuming I can get medically cleared to take T). Ideally, couple of years after that I would like to get bottom surgery, but that will largely depend on if I can get my weight down to normal range. I'd like to think I can, but if I am to be real with myself, I'm such a huge procrastinator that it probably will never happen, or it will take a lot longer than a couple of years and I might have to spend a lot of money for a professional to help me that it would make saving for bottom surgery nearly impossible if I can't get it covered by insurance, but like you said, you never know!
I would *like* to have everything completed by the time I am 30. How I will do that, I'm not too sure, but one thing is for certain: I don't want to live as a female for the rest of my how.
You would think I would know how to vote after typing this, but honestly, I still don't know which to pick because my transition and how far I will go depends on a lot of things.
