Reply To: Transgender Transition

Hi Sarah95

I know it sounds like a cliche, but just about everyone says: I wish I had come out earlier.
A transition does not need to be a full disclosure and total embrace of the real experience.
Although 12 months on hormones and living the real experience does qualify for SRS.
Nevetheless, a lot can be done ‘under the radar’ or ‘by stealth’.
Personally, I dressed, used meds and had laser/electrolysis without leaving my male identity.
However, after many years, quietly and privately transitioning I reached a point were concealment was no longer possible.
My point is that it takes several years tp ‘blossom’ and that gives you plenty of time to manage any adjustments and consider where and how you ‘come out’.
