I think the tales told by Flame and Clara are common, and shared by many., myself included. How do you feel now, with all the research provided by this board, learning that what we are doing is, essentially, though certainly slower, the same process as is to be expected through a doctor prescribed course of synthetic hormones?
What I am getting at is this ...was it not wanting or being financially able to, or even mentally being able to accept, the desire to go through the path of seeing a doctor, with the required visits to a counselor/therapist? Or was it the thought that somehow the herbal route was less of a definite admission to either the world or yourself, that you wanted to pursue some form of partial or full transition, and herbs seemed a baby step you could accept? Or was it that you felt there was a real way to simply grow breasts and not be interested in anything else? Or what?
