Try googling transgender ( or crosscrossing ) support in your area. I found the one in my area was tied in with the local Aids support centre. You don't have to go dressed up, most would be willing to talk with you. ( I attended my support group for @ 6 weeks as ##:& before Jannet. I know you do not want to hear it but, wanting and trying to get breasts means that door is open, maybe just a crack, buts it's there.

As a side note, I had a mustache for most of my adult life, the wife wondered how I would look without it, I couldn't get it off fast enough. Slowly, I just removed my body hair too.

Good luck ..

Thank you Jannet for your thoughts on this. I have looked it up in the past, but that would be waaaaay too many people I would be exposed to. I am looking for more of a 1 to 1. The less people that know, the better I would feel about it. Okay, so perhaps I am a bit paranoid. It's just that where I live, even though it's pretty damn big, it always feels like everyone knows each other. The degrees of separation are not enough for me to feel comfortable.

Yeah, I know that door is cracked open just a bit, but that's what wedges and blockades are for, to help keep it from opening too much too quickly.

I too have had my facial hair for most of my adult life. Once, and only once did I sport a mustache, but I looked über creepy, so never did that again. Now most of the time it's the goatee, or every now and again when being lazy the beard. Once in a blue moon it all comes off just for a change of scenery and the Mrs. always gives me grief about it.
