Mmmm, its an interesting one,
Am not entirely convinced that any one event leads people down that path - for some they would have ended up living as a woman at some point anyway for others I think its a case of they act on impulse and act without thought potentially leading to 'buyers remorse'.
For me am happy enough with things at present - BO has almost completely removed a desire to dress as a woman it almost has become a chore, it has totally removed the nagging voice in my head as well for wanted to do something in terms of becoming female. However I do have a desire to push things a lot further in terms of gender presentation - I dress as male but my hair has been every shade of blonde over the last 6 months and is now long enough for a (very small) ponytail - although that actually makes me look less female in some ways.
A large lottery win would certainly change things but am kind of happy with things as they are for now. I have realised that whilst I am looking even more female facially (I will post an updated pic soon) I normally sport a couple of days stubble (and am not bothered my having facial hair - body hair is another matter though!) so it prevents any confusion. I havent totally ruled out transitioning but I think that it isnt anything I would rush into - I think a lot will depend on how much more growth I get - if I get to a point where it would just be easier to present as a woman then I will worry about it when I need to. For me changing my body is no different to getting a tattoo or cosmetic surgery just possibly a little more extreme!
Am sure that for each person who has started NBE and ended up transitioning there are many more who havent or decided that it is not for them. I think like many things it is about self control and self discipline those who lack it may quickly find themselves hurtling down a very slippery slope.
Just my 2p's worth!

P.S Getting major swelling from Shatavari my breasts were aching all over this morning! Will post an update pic in next couple of days!
