I think what I'll have to learn is to take things slowly, step by step. I would like to transition like "right now", but I know it's not possible and there will be too much collateral damage - on my environment as much as on myself.
All I want to say is, please don't deny who you are for the sake of current circumstances. Don't repress your knowledge of being trans, allow yourself to explore it. We will always pay a price for this, but there's much to be gained too.
For me this will include coming out to more people as a first step. I'm lucky to have friends who I know will be accepting and to live in a country where, while there is discrimination for sure, being trans is more or less accepted. So I will take advantage of this.

Hi Kraken: I just wanted to comment, with regard to the idea of transitioning "right now"! I sometimes entertain this fantasy where I transition all at once!
As you may be aware, Thailand is a mecca for trans individuals who wish to transition. Thailand was never colonized by the west. And so they have a long unbroken tradition of the acceptance of transgendered persons. And, as a result, they have developed a thriving medical practice related to transition. From what I know of it, they're highly skilled. The costs are also much less than they would be, in the U.S. at least.
So, anyway, my fantasy is: I fly over to Thailand & I have them do all of the surgeries I would need, all at once!!!
I get FFS, breast implants, & SRS all at the same time!
And, hey, if it's all too much for my old carcass & I die on the operating table, oh well, at least I gave it my best shot!
Ah-h-h... the dreams of an old tranny!
