    Congrats on finally accepting yourself. It's the start of a long journey.
    Although your current visions might be grounded in reality,
    there are no shortcuts to get from here to there.
    Face the facts and realize that you still may have to manifest this
    dream the old-fashioned way: by creating a concrete plan,
    putting in the hard work and maintaining an
    unwavering determination to make it happen.

    Have you been in counseling yet?

    Given your response, I kinda feel like you're getting ahead of yourself to be talking about hormones and implicitly, transition. It's not a good idea to jump to conclusions.

    Did you purge all of you male attire? I have often wondered if some do purge their male clothing. I sometimes feel like getting rid of all my male clothing.

    I'm with Kim on this one, talking of transition comes with a lot of time and a lot of thought.
    You do need to be suffering some anguish and present yourself as a female often.
    Develop mannerisms and certainly be out to others and have friends who know about you.
    Interaction with others knowing that you are transgendered is important because when you do see a therapist they are going to ask how frequently you interact with others as a female. Then you may need to go 24/7 for up to a year to qualify for any serious treatment.

    I think you should think of the implications and establish that it is not just putting your big toe in the water to see if the water is warm.
    Work on your elegance,
    and beauty will follow.

    Hi Pauline,

    I am with Kim and Beverly on this one. Things can get quite confusing when we first begin to travel this road . . . "Heck I am a guy who likes to dress in women's clothing so I must want to be a woman". This is not always the case. I think you are on the right path in seeing a therapist (just ensure that she/he is schooled in gender identity issues as all therapists are not created equal). Take some time to be introspective (you therapist should insist on this) before you make any "transition" plans.

    Hugs

    I've learned that an important part of solving a problem, perhaps the most important part, is to clearly identify the problem.

    A good therapist will help you understand "you", and help with techniques for happiness as "you".

    Best wishes
