Thank you Emma. It's enlightening to know I'm not the only one going through this. My journey will be similar to yours I'm sure and if you ever just want to talk offline let me know. Liv

Hi Olivia, Welcome to TGG. Although I’m a dozen years older I am going through much the same as you. Just today my doctor increased my estradiol to a more typical introductory level. I am also going to therapy, voice coaching, and electrolysis. It’s quite a burden but exciting nonetheless given how many decades I’ve suppressed my authentic self. I say this not to make this about me but to assure you that you’re among friends. Emma

Good comment. It took me a while to figure my own situation out. I feel better about it now. Hope you do as well.

I love closet remodeling! Good luck with that!!! I don't have a walk-in closet, but I have a bigger closet that was very simple when I moved in. I added a section of shelves down the middle (not quite the middle) for shorts, t-shirts, etc. and then a single rod on one side for longer things and 2 rods on the other for shorter. I don't wear many dresses, so I didn't as much room on the single-rod side.

Welcome to TGGuide! I can't wait to read your blog entries My own experience - I've transitioned over the past 2-3 years (depending on what I consider the starting point) - is that it is both amazing and terrifying - often at the same time. But either way is better than settling for a life that isn't right for you!

Good luck on the license exam!!! Thinking of your comment about wanting to be or be with a beautiful woman - an early memory for me is after seeing "Grease," thinking I wanted to "be with" Olivia Newton-John, then later realizing I wanted to "be" her :-) (of course I was 10 years old at the time, so I wouldn't have known what to do "with" her even if I had the chance).
