I finally had to admit to myself I'm scared to go further in my transition. I was talking to Jaci, and I actually started crying when all this anxiety and fear of surgery came bubbling out of me, and even changing my name legally scares me. Be that as it may, since its not likely that the Blue Fairy isnt likely to come visit me and turn my bits into their female equalivants, I have only the two choices - go forward, or live with what I got. And I honestly dont know if I'm capable of option two ..

Ah, well.

to talk it over with your therapist and it isn't a race. I had to wait five years after transitioning for surgery, so I was absolutely sure what I was doing. Take your time, you've got the rest of your life to sort it which ever option you take, and there'll be more than two, you'll see.

Take care.

Agree with Ang

You can do it later. You can't undo it. It's not likely to go away as an option (at least for a while yet). So, think about it, you don't have to decide-right-now. And, remember, Not-Today is not the same decision as Never.

I agree. This is not a race,

I agree. This is not a race, but if it was, it would be a marathon. This is about life and who you are. Only you can be you. We will love you and support you no matter what you choose. Just be true to yourself.

Many of life's decisions take time to understand and make. Take your time and make the right one for you, when you are ready.

Love,
