At 76 years old my starting my journey to transition. I'm both scared and nervous. I don't know what to expect. I'll find out next week if I can start HRT. I've been wanting to do this for years. My sister knows and will be by my side.
Please give me some incite to what I might be going thought. I know I've been told it will take time.

Good luck Glenda - I hope each step of the journey will bring you joy
I started HRT on July 1st, and I've read a lot about timelines etc. Most information and first hand accounts say 3 months is when changes first become noticeable. I have yet to see any perceivable changes but it is still early and I'm not in too much of a hurry. Everyone is different so there is no set time for anything. Three months to three or four years is what I've found for most major changes to take place. Good luck on your journey!
I just want to be me, and be happy.
Enjoy the journey!

Been in contact with U of M Gender services. Waiting for them to give me some places to go.

Glenda, I am wishing you all the best as you move forward. I am unable to give you insight as to changes or timelines, but I can give you my support. You have a family of support right here. I think I can speak for all of our sisters here, that we will be with you as you start a new chapter in your life. I know I will be here for you anytime you need or want a shoulder. Hugs, Kisses, Meg
Good luck. It will be a long road but the end is rewarding.
Thanks for the encouragement still waiting for Gender Services to call me back.

I hope you are able to pursue HRT. If not, you can still continue the social transition already begun.
Remember always that you not only have the right to be an individual, you have an obligation to be one.

Glenda you will be amazed as to what you've missed and just what you will be able to do. I used to live in San Diego and just loved riding the train there. Being dressed and on HRT will put you more at ease. Only answer to Glenda, by saying yes and any other name by a look and not a word. Good days in your future.

I'm TG. A fem-male so I look male sometimes.
Dressing is necessary, the type of clothes you wear not so much.
This above all to thy own self be true!

I started my first treatment today. A Estradiol patch and spironolactone tablet. They tell it will be a year before I can do any kind of surgery. I'll need to go in every 3 months for checkups.
I'm so happy now that it's started.

Hello Glenda.
All the best to you.
I'm myself on the verge of coming to it...
Mesmerizing times in my head...
Best wishes to you all,
Rose
Many many congratulations Glenda
. I am not to that point yet but my therapist has diagnosed me with Gender Dysphoria. I ll be moving in that direction I hope soon.
I do wish you all the best as you progress forward.
Best wishes to you. We are around the same age and I started my journey about a year and a half ago. You will go through some bumps and ups and downs but don't let it get to you
The one thing that I found is there can be some mood changes. Welcome to woman hood
