I'm just curious. How many members here live fulltime as women. I wish I could but the farthest I would go would be hormones. Is it difficult?
I wish i could jennifer but as you said it's difficult.

In all of my civic, political and charitable activities, DeeAnn is the person of record. Very few have ever met Don over the nearly 8 years that I have been here.
When I came out in October of 2015 (which is a story by itself!), I was about 4 months from retirement, so I really didn’t give a shit. I have no plans to do HRT or any surgical interventions.
I have been living full time as a woman for the last 15 months. I have no desire to take hormones or undergo any type of transition surgery.
I am living full time and over the years thoughts on surgery and hormones were considered. In the meantime I carried on developing my look and worked with the body given me. It has worked out well for me and can say it has it's difficulties in development but once it all comes together it works and is easy. I have recently started hormones after a chat with my doctor. I don't expect miracles and look at it as an enhancement in the long term.
I am a full time girl, transitioned 19 months ago and have never looked back. I am a cardiac patient taking heart meds each day, so I am not able to take hormones. I am only 5'6", 170lbs, inherited my mom's facial features and can wear ordinary ladies petite size L, so fortunately I pass and don't stand out in a crowd. I recently found out that I am an intersex person, actually a woman, which may help in understanding how I pass and have always known that I was a woman...because I am!
I wish I was. I am at home, but living in a small town has its challenges when I go out. I would have to move to be full time, and might just do that one day soon.

hi gals,
i have been on hrt for a few months, & living "full time" or whatever for about 3 years.
it's really a misnomer to think of it in terms of "part time" or "full time". there's a lot of in between in there, especially at first.
Jennifer, you asked if it's difficult? yes and no. no cuz you feel more like your natural self. yes cuz you have to spend more time on your appearance.
in the future i may consider orchiectomy or perhaps even labiaplasty. vaginoplasty is not necessary for me.
i began hrt as more of a mental health regimen. people think it's all about the physical changes but those just desireable side effects. the mental game is where it's at. 😉
I am working toward living full time. As of right now, I'm up to about four days a week of being authentic. Hopefully in the near term I can get all the way there. I'm also working toward getting on hormones but I do have some health complications that need to be sorted out first. One of my goals for 2024 is to get on HRT at least in small doses.
Thank you all for replying. I've been out in public wearing women's jeans and tops. Been thinking about going out in leggings or joggers. What did you wear when you went out in public for the first time?
I have always had the desire to live as a girl and or women in later years. After the passing of the love in my life just into covid shutdown, I found myself at home alone. Because of the guilt, embarrassment plus other complications I figured I was going to go with it to get my full and get it out of my system before getting into another relationship. Well just the opposite happened and I walked out my front door for the first time as Janice April 2021. It feels so natural to me and my spirit feels free which is a feeling that I have never experienced. I am now living my life full time as Janice. I have been on HRT since Oct. 2021 and just had a vulvoplasty Oct. 5, 2023. I work full time in a VA Hospital since 09 as a plumber/pipefitter maint. mech. I am living my life fully and feel a love for myself that I also never thought was possible. It only gets better and I am so thankful to be able to live and express my true self at this time in my life.
. Love. Janice
Thank you, Janice!
Hi Jennifer, I think the only difficulty is what you perceive as difficult. I've been out and full time for years (I'm intersex). I've had my ups and downs but for me the bottom line is that it's just life and what you make of it. You could have all the clothes, makeup and operations in the world but if your mind and heart isn't there it just won't work. If you can be happy with yourself things will fall into place. Wishing you the best, Marg
I have been full time for a month, it sure felt strange to have male clothes afterward. Sorta like the first time you wear long pants after the summer turns to fall. I live in shorts, skirts, and sundresses all summer.
In my fashion, I do consider myself to be full time. I do not present as a woman, but have been openly dressing in feminine attire on a daily basis for the past 4 years and quite frequently over the previous 3 years. Currently, family events are the only areas where I limit myself predominately to masculine wear, but even then I do not solely wear masculine attire.
