I wish you all the best in the world for your transformation. I'm sure you'll be a lot happier once it is all complete.

Thanks for sharing that time line. It seems frustratingly slow, but hey, life's a journey, as they say. Curiously, though I started my snail's pace coming out at age 22, it was not until I was 47 that I widely came out as a gay man and restructured my life to more honestly reflect my identity.....translation: mutually agreed separation from my wife of 25 years and finally joining a couple gay men's/lgbt organizations to start building an affirming social net. My sister's spouse didn't come out as a trans woman until her last parent had died. Which meant not until around age 60. Ahh, so many years! :/

Yes, there was a lot of wasted time along the way, but most of it was not being able to afford it financially, but thankfully it's covered under my insurance now 😀
