This is my first post on my journey from boy to girl. A wolf turning into a rainbow studded butterfly.....or something. Can I be some sort of goth butterfly instead? Is there a middle ground? I hope so, because I ain't wearing any Betsey Johnson B.S. Gaudy nonsense. Putting 30 random trinkets you stole from Grandma on a piece of string is not fashionable or attractive in any way. Girls, you look like trend hopping hobos with that shit on. Stop it!
Current status:
28 years old, living as male for now, 2 months into therapy sessions, completed 2 of 3 appointments at an Informed Consent clinic. Appointment 3 = prescription for hormones(estrogen, in this case), testosterone blockers, etc. Currently "out" to friends and family. Boss knows as well.
For those unaware of Informed Consent, basically you prove to them that you're healthy enough for hormones, and that you're not batshit crazy, then they give you the hormones. These types of clinics are rare. The guidelines most people must follow involve a full year of therapy, living as the opposite gender for a certain period of time, etc, before you are approved for HRT(hormone replacement therapy). Informed Consent is a godsend. Trans people do not want to spend months or years looking like a dude in a dress(or a girl in guys clothes for FTM) before they are finally approved to start HRT, which will take years to complete. This will allow them to form their on plan for transition, which is very important.
