I totally agree with you Colleen and Kim. Once you commit don't hesitate. The challenge is committing.
It has taken a lifetime plus 18 months for me to understand and then finally commit. My earlier point was that the "magic pill" was a fantasy. I needed to prepare myself for the realistic timeline of
years. When you have spent a lifetime fantasizing, reality is an icy barrier that you need to push through.
So far, with the help of my analyst and you all, I understand so I have the mental focus I need. My wife, two friends and my son now know I am transgender. My next goal is confirm that I am going to actually transition to them.
I am working on my presentation with Donna, I have an endocrinologist, a voice trainer, an electrologist, a laser tech and I just contacted a GCS surgeon.
Whew I feel like a Formula 1 race car.
I am incredibly afraid but also incredibly determined so, Dr. Kim, I will continue to push my comfort zone.
Hugs,
Emma
