Hi Krow ,
Thanks for the info , like I mentioned , I have not started anything. People here know and a few others online know and that is it.
As mentioned in my OP , how to tell friends and associates you are transgender to begin with , and that a period of transition may take place ?
After HRT , then of course / hair removal / voice coaching / living female , then living female full time for 12 ~ 18 months before SRS.
Plus all the paper work and court date for name change , that I know about.
First I must find a way to bring money in , once I am able to do that on a regular basis , then move , I could not and would not transition where I live , I am surrounded my idiots. Most would not even know what being trans is all about , and there ignorance would take over and fear would set in making my neighborhood and very dangerous place.
I have a long road , but it all starts with just telling people you know that you are not correct , and that you have never felt like a guy. That in and of itself , at least to me seems like a huge step.
Anyway , thanks again for your reply , I appreciate it

.
Take care ,
Keyplayer.
