hey. i think... that there are different things that people do. some people have hormone treatment (for example) and don't plan on getting sex reassignment, while others want to have a sex reassignment as well.

it sounds to me... like it would be terrific if you could see a therapist who specialises in (or at least who has some experience in) these issues. that way they would be able to talk to you about some of the side-effects of hormone treatment... and that way they would also be able to talk to you about how things are going more generally. to try and figure out how much it would be worth your doing the hormone treatment (because i'm not sure whether it has significant side effects or an irreversile element or not). might be that it is fairly reversible (in which case there wouldn't be much harm in it) or might be that it isn't so much (in which case one would really want to be very sure before commencing).

i'm not sure... how much feeling complete would be about having facial hair and a more masculine figure. i'm not sure... i'd say that it would be worth having a chat to a therapist, though.
