    JoAnne begins her transition

    Dear Girls - it has been a long, long time since I have posted anything and I want all of you to know that JoAnne is in the process of transition from a crossdresser to a transsexual girl - I have been in counseling and I have been to my endocrinologist and I am taking my wonderful Estrogen pills and I am removing all of my body hair and I have chosen my Surgeon - I expect this journey will take another 12 months.

    Those of you who remember my posts and all of the struggles that I was having over the last couple of years will be interested to know that the decision to "Transition" has been the best thing that has ever happened to me. No more depression, no more anxiety and no more migraines.

    Transition is not for everyone, but it is the right thing for this old girl to do.

    I will probably start posting in the transgender section of this site in the future, but I wanted to let all of you know what has been going on in my life.

    Joanne, I wish you nothing but the best....and complete happiness in the journey.
    Going TS is not for everyone (and please find a decent counselor when I say this).

    Me, I'm not at that stage in my life anytime soon, or as far as I know...perhaps never, but I greatly respect those that do proceed down this path.

    JoAnne, I wish you the best for your future and I hope your wife is supporting you in your future journey
    I allow myself to set healthy boundaries ..... to say no to what does not align with my values, to say yes to what does.
    Boundaries assist me to remain healthy, honest and living a life that is true to me

    Congrats JoAnne. I'm so happy to hear things are working out well for you. It sounds like you're taking all the right steps and it also sounds like they are paying dividends for you. I really glad you are finally at peace with yourself. I know from reading your past thread that you stuggled for quite a while. Good luck on your journey.

    JoAnne, I hope it works out GREAT for u!

    Like others here, I'm wondering how u worked this out with your wife!?
    I'm assuming she's on board for the SRS?
    U can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect to enjoy life to the max. When u try new things, even if they r out of your comfort zone, u may experience new excitement and growth that u never expected.

    Challenge yourself and pursue your passions! When your life clock runs out, you'll have few or NO REGRETS!

    Hi Joann,
    Glad to hear you have found your path. I do hope your wife is supportive of your decision as I'm sure you're a much happier person now and she can clearly see that change in you.

    I hope she will consider joining us in the FAB
