Dear Steph:
So glad to see your post. I'm hoping that my marriage will survive, and it might, but he odds are still against us. I still love her and she loves me but still can't accept I'm a woman.
Since you've told work, it's not necessary to act on it since you're only going to be there for another 11 months and it is a big adjustment to your coworkers. People can hear you saying your are TS, be supportive but when they see you presenting female it takes it to another level. Of course that's there problem, not yours. The timing is up to you. Only you know how your coworkers will feel. Perhaps you can ask the ones that know who are close to you and see if they'd have any problems with you presenting female. You have one friend that says why not, so if it won't add too much stress in your working life, the what the hell. Start being who you are. I can't tell from the photos but you look very feminine and pretty and don't look as if you need FFS. But if you do, or want FFS, I'd get that done then go 100% even if you aren't retired.
My HR tells me the same thing, why not start presenting as female, she says I don 't need anything done. I'm still with my wife, so that's a biggie so I have to wait.
So if I looked as good as you, was single, I"d just have a big "Man" clothes burning party and to 100%. I just go done imagining that I was in your shoes now, single and on my own. I would go 100%, now doubt at all. If I have to leave my wife and home I'd be 100% immediately afterwards, not question. Sounds like that's your decision anyway and good for you. I'm very happy for you and with you the very best.
