I am still working on my dressing, makeup, etc so that I can one day go out in public. I thought I was okay with just being a CD until I read a post somewhere where the author brought up one point I hadn't really thought about. If you could transition today without money issues or any repercussions with family, work, friends, etc., would you transition? The first thing that popped out of my head was a very clear YES. Not what I was expecting. I have had a few times I have felt dysphoria, but ever since I read that question it's become an almost daily battle. I would love to hear other thoughts on this and how they deal with dysphoria. I am seeing a therapist for this and other issues as well as being on an anti depressant. I know I still have a long way to go before I can make a decision, but am curious as to what made some of you finally decide to take HRT.
I absolutely would, without a second thought. I'm even considering it as I reply here.
The medical concerns are what stop me from exercising the option. If in my fantasy world that wasn't a concern, I believe I would.

Unfortunately this is me too. I have to be careful - and so trying to look for alternative ways to get where I think I want to be is problematic. I'm glad that you have a therapist @Georgia - and wish you success in your journey!

No repercussions, no money issues, just take a pill, drink a potion or say a spell. No doubt or hesitation, I'd do it. If I were offered a choice of gender, I'd choose female. But that only happens on the fiction sites....sigh...
Without a doubt, I would choose to change gender this instant. It has been my fantasy for almost 40 years. Even being 62 and a diabetic would not give me pause, as I know that the medical issues can be dealt with.
I would transition in a heart beat!!! I Identify better as a female! I should of been born a girl, it would of been so much easier!!

- I certainly would as being feminine is when I am most comfortable. Being able to live as a female every day all day would be amazing but at the moment there are to many social pressures and concerns.
<p style="text-align: left;">Hi Nicola I am so Tina too full time in the house too. I can relate to that sweetie</p>
Hugs Tina xoxo
Yes being a female full time would be the ultimate. Hopefully soon! I am considering the transition. Girl Power! You seem very sweet!!
Hugs Tina xoxo
Oh my where to begin. I was severely depressed until i faced myself and admitted who and what i am. Therapy and estrogen are my antidepressants. If all you rdepression left you would that be enough to transition? Good luck sweeety
Hi Julie sweetie, that's a great question and to be honest I don't know. I am going to take one day at a time when finally decide to become Tina full time. I know it's a huge step. But I feel at the end life be easier to be Who I was supposed to be a vibrant beautiful women, your very sweet & thank you for your support!!
Big Hugs, Tina xoxo
I am going through the EXACT same thing girl. And at this very moment too. Currently in therapy trying to sort things out in my mind. I hadn't really given transitioning a thought until I answered that question with a definitive "yes". It kind of threw a wrench into my psyche and has been messing with me a lot. I'm here for you if you want to chat more.

Hi Erica , thank you for reaching out, I know it's such turbulance. I didn't do a a lot of therapy yet. Thank you for saying you would be there for chat if needed, i did do some part time therapy and it was very helpful in figuring out who me is & the answer is Tina it's delightful to be Tina!!
Huge Hugs, Tina xoxo
Girls, I have been reading the comments in this topic and I find myself wishing that we could all just meet (en femme, of course) for tea, coffee, drinks or whatever. I think we would start to talk like we have never talked before. Back in the 70's and 80's, when it was just transsexual or transvestite without gender being attached and shades of meaning added on, I agonized over the question of what I was and wasn't. I came to the conclusion then that changing sex/gender wasn't for me within the context of career and family. If those issues then were nullified, I would have done so without thinking twice. I just wish there was something like CDH around then, because with the kind support that I have found here I just might have felt differently. I certainly do now. Georgia, your question hit a nerve at least among those here who have participated in this conversation. Surprisingly, my therapist asked me the other day to think on how I saw myself and where I would like to be without any of the concerns of family, friends and the world at large. To ask myself "who am I and what do I want". To which I can answer, "Yes! I would like to transition, with or without that magic spell". There will be complications, but that's what therapists are there for. I just hope I can overcome the fact that however much I want this, I am still quaking in my pumps.
Frank Herbert said it best in Dune, "Fear is the mind killer".
And I really wish it was possible for us all to meet. What a thrill it would be!
