Hello everyone, I want to thank all of you for the continued input, but as my fiancee and I have been reading the responses together I realized that I needed to bring a little more clarity to my situation and current plans for transition.
I know that I never made reference to how far that I was going to transition, currently I do not plan on going full time, as it has been said many times before around the forum, I will transition as much as I need to for myself. My current plan of action is to of course continue going to therapy as it has been helpful for myself as well as my fiancee to ensure that the hard questions are asked, and if there isn't an answer we discuss whatever the topic may be. My fiancee is very accepting of my my feelings no matter what they are, like them or not. I just completed a good book (The transgender guide book :keys to a successful transition) that I would recommend to anyone that is in transition or like myself trying to find out to what extent the need for transition and the risks and benefits of doing so. Currently I plan on starting with hair removal on my face and getting voice lessons, as these are changes that have no life altering effects, but do aid in starting the process of my appearance starting to come more in line with how I see myself inside and if per-chance this is enough for me to be able to live my life happily then that is where it will end.. Also, we have plans on having a family together and I know that use of any hormones while not having an instantaneous affect would effectively make this an impossibility. Also in the time that we are creating our family this gives her the time that she has requested so that the can continue to learn more and accept the consequences of the decisions that we have been discussing. I know that many of you have had negative experiences with your SO's so I understand your words of caution, but there are others of you that have had quite the opposite, and as with each one of us our situations are different and therefor the outcome will be different. I look to the future with a positive attitude.
I know that there are those of you that will have negative things to say, please unless it has a constructive point keep your negativity to yourself, I am here for support on my journey, not for all your negativity. For those of you who think I'm not "trans enough" because I dont currently want to go with a full transition. I know that I am going to make the best decision for me, as with the levels of GD the actions(need to transition) will vary with each of us and our personal needs. I am aware that how far I need/want to go can change based on further exploration(they have from the time I gained initial acceptance of myself), but to take steps further than what I have planned will take more time for consideration as anything more will more than likely changes the lives of those around me and not just me.
I hope this can help clarify my situation and the plans I have moving forward on my journey, again please keep the negative comments to yourself.
