Great questiong deserve thought out answers
Haveing finally come to terms and accepted my self I began the slow road to transtion. I startesd on hormones in 2001-2002 though stoped them for a two year time inorder to fight in Iraq. Then getting back on the in late 2005. I have many plains for myself as twords my transition. I live full time as a woman as the world is concerned but inorder help my father deal with it better I dress androginsly at home. I am in the process of my name change. I am in gender theripy with two pdocs one that I pay for and one that is with the Va. I at this point and time am trying to get the Va. to take over my hormones theripy and because of this have run out. I have plans for some FFs shuch as brow lift, scap advancement, jaw shaving, chin shaving (if needed), trachea shave(if needed). I will in two years after bstedy hrt plan on having my brest inmplants and that will be it for a long time. As I feel that I am way to eager to think about the srs to really know if it is right for me. I have decided to wait five years before i sit down and fully decide weather or not it is what I want. I am scard admitedly but ie is a good fear. I do not want to end up like the many who have found after rushing that they made huge mistakes. As the money end is concerned it is rough right now after being fired because of my transiton and now struggle to find another job. I am so much more happy now that I live in the gender role I should have all my life. I have to admit that I have lost alot of friends because of my transition but have gaines even more. I have also learned who my real friends are, and that for me is the best thing in the world. All in all I have learned alot and am still learning. I have no regrets and look forward to when I can walk down a street and say to myslef I am finaly whole.

For me the thought of Doing my duty as a soldier and american never changed when it came to my disition to transtion. It was why I signed up and I was more then proud to do it. Weather man or woman I was happy to defent the rights we have, and seeing the children smile as they whent to school for the first time since saddam took over made it all worth wile. The news and media doesnt tell the good side of why we are their and that hurts us soldiers. Just as in veitnam we have come home to mixed support and critisems. Nomatter how badly i was treated when i returned from Iraq I was glad to have been their.
As for the stopping of hormones i with a docters advice weened off of them so I never had the reactions I am having now just from running out.
As for planning my transiton out I have to say. I had to, this was and is a major disition in my life and I dont want it to feel like it was a mistake. When I know in my heart of hearts it is the right and best thing for me.
