From when I first started crossdressing, in 2014, I was going out 2-4 times a week cross dressed, to bars and nightclubs and music venues. As that time progressed, I also started going to restaurants, shopping openly in malls, and mundane tasks like getting groceries or getting gas for my car, while dressed. But I felt that, at most, I was gender fluid, and at home and while working, I remained male. I was also pretty certain that even if I decided to fully transition, I could never afford it.
By 2018, my social life was almost exclusively en femme, and I suddenly found out my insurance would cover the cost if I wanted to transition to full time as a woman. I talked to my doctor as soon as I could, and never looked back. Four years later, in 2022, I am living very happily as a woman, and awaiting confirmation for the scheduling of my final, lower surgery.
