How Far Do You Go in Your Transition?

One of the harder decisions, in your transition, is deciding how far you will go.  In the early days of transgender persons, even before the term transgender was coined in 1965, your transition had to include HRT and Bottom Surgery, now called Gender Affirmation Surgery.  But today binary gender thinking is not an absolute.

In other words gender it’s not just feeling you’re a man or woman.  Gender has shades and hues like a rainbow, masculine to the feminine.  So a lot of self reflection and counseling is a must, and a qualified gender counselor is a gate keeper to further steps you might decide to take.  Keep in mind your sex is different from your gender.  Also who you’re attracted to is a separate issue.

I do know I’m one of those persons who… If I could push a button and have a female body according to my DNA… I would push it without hesitation, changing my sex from male to female with all the bells and whistles, like periods a female body has.

But unfortunately a transition is not that simple.  It’s not making an appointment with a gender fairy and have them wave their wand or pushing a button and waking up as your preferred sex.  It’s not about a fantasy desire and you go back to your old life afterwords.  It’s not about putting up with being called a sissy all because you were born with a penis and wish to wear girl clothes.  Get real and have a heart.  Stop worrying who I might be attracted to.

For myself being flat between my legs with a sweet vagina would be a dream come true, my panties properly fit and no tucking.  I hate to tuck but it is what I currently need to do.  And it certainly would be fantastic to fill out my bra with my own female developed breasts.  HRT, Hormone Replacement Therapy, is said to do wonders by many persons who have gone through this.

But is medical intervention right for you?  It took me many years, decades, to unravel who I am and what was the truth.  I still research.  Research has come a long ways over the years.  But their continues to be a lot of biased information out there.  So you must do your own research and find what is right for you, best for your body and your goals.  I had to discover why I’m driven to understand, my own gender dysphoria, my girl inside.  There is life outside the box of what society might expect.

The whole point is to be comfortable in your own skin as yourself, to stop needing to wear a fake mask to make others happy because of how you look.  It does not mater what others think or feel you should do.  You have to decide.  Because you, not those around you who give advise or have an opinion, will live with the consequences.  You must walk the path.  And that path, your transition, might last a lifetime.

So now that you decided to wear the clothes of your gender identity, and come out to others close to you, how far will your transition take you to be yourself?
