I only just started the transition process a few months ago, and I am only two shots into my hormone therapy. However, I have been researching extensively and am hoping the information I have can be useful to others, and vice-versa.
My name is Michael, though my family is still struggling with the new name and frequently calls me Monica. My workplace can't change my badge or how I am called until my name is legally changed, so I must be Monica there, too. Once my voice drops, I will be going through the legal steps for a name change.
I have been very lucky to have the full support of my family and friends in this. My wonderful girlfriend of 7 years is excited for me and doing everything she can to help. (Research, battling for a raise, herbal concoctions to avoid balding, etc.)
Next week (when school is over) I join a gym and work for about a year to drop 60 pounds of body fat and build some muscle. By then I should have saved enough for my top surgery. Can't wait!
Anyway I can't figure out how to modify my profile. I have joined the FtM Transsexual group and the "Profile" button is gone from my main menu.
**EDIT** Hahaha okay I read the FAQ answer for ranks. Neeever mind.
