the journey gave me the space away from my family to see that they were all independent, and that for the first time in 28 or so years, I had the space and the freedom to do what I wanted and needed to do for myself, for the sake of my own sanity.
It also gave my family the chance to acknowledge that I was a person in my own right, and that the world wouldn't end if I wasn't there doing "the mum thing" all the time.
I think it would be much harder to have made the decision if I hadn't had the time away, and much much harder to implement it.
So, anyway... I have a question. Maybe many questions, especially being in gender limbo, myself. Aside from the buereaucratic bullshit, how easy is it for one to transition over your way? Mostly concerned with the social aspect, I supose. Also, what point are you at on the medical aspect of the change? Hormones or surgery in the future, and will there possibly be another world tour after some or all of these steps are behind you?
Well, I don't know how it is over there, but 'round here, the hormones is ussualy the easiest part, luckily. The hard part is deciding when in the hormone therapy to go full time, as it's very tough to pass with no breasts and totally masculine features, and it's not too easy to be a man still with even a small amount of breasts, as compared to where they should be for the body size and type for a guy.
Sorry for the late response - i am just catching up on LJ after a week off work. i'm pleased to meet you Alexander :) Just want to wish you good luck, and congratulations on the new driver license. (Good photo too, unlike my license which has an awful photo)
Take care, and maybe see you on the next "World Tour" :)

There seems to have been some weird hiccup with the license photo this time ... it actually looks like me.
no doubt if I have to show it to a policeman, they'll suspect it's fake because it looks like I do. :-)
