Hi Girls,
I transitioned 6 weeks ago now. Everything has gone very very well - better than I hoped for. No problem/hassle/comments from anyone at work. I'm really settling down as myself now and I've never been so happy.
The only thing that I am still doing is making VERY regular trips to the public bathrooms - nearly every time I go out somewhere (I'm almost like a child, investigating all the loo's at every oppertunity). The reason for this is that up until about 2 weeks ago I was very nervous and self-concious about using the ladies room because I didn't want to be questioned on what I was doing in there (although I always carry a letter from my doctor explaining). I have now go used to using the ladies room and even used it when I took my kids to a local theme park last week, and yesterday I stood in the queue in the supermarket ladies room waiting (something I said I would NEVER do). I have just used the bathroom in the local motorway services and they were very busy with a lot of girls aged 15/20 coming and going. Nobody said a word or gave me a second glance. I really feel I'm making progress in my looks, as well as on a day to day basis.
