Reply To: Transgender Transition

[Anonymous]

Hi Angela, I was a totally secret crossdresser for over 60 years (many binge and purge cycles). In 2021, I finally was overwhelmed by my gender dysphoria and not only came out to my wife of 40 years last July, but have started HRT (on estradiol for a month, spiro since November). We are working on staying together, but my wife still cringes or is triggered by Brielle.

Now that I have started HRT, I plan to socially transition FT on January 1, 2023. A few close friends know, my grown daughter and her wife know, and many friends on Crossdresser Heaven and Transgender Heaven as well as my local Meetup group know. I just got back from the Keystone Conference and now know I can be successful with my goals. I just hope my wife and I can find a way to stay together.

The HRT has led to my skin softening noticeably and I’m feeling breast buds as well. I feel more “settled” overall but can be hurt by negative comments, etc. (but that was always a problem I’ve dealt with). I am also listening to subliminal and “hypnotic” videos on Youtube every night to help with the mental and emotional hurdles of MTF transitioning.

Hugs,

Brie
