Shirazmn thank you for the advice. Yes I've heard many people use bo with their HRT program, but yes prob best not to add bo till the right dose of hrt is established, and with appointments every 3 months and the 6 months it could easily take a year for the Endo to find the right dosage/combo of drugs.
I think I'll start the bo first honestly. I don't see myself even starting hrt for most likely another year (and that's just a guess). I'd like to see the affects of bo and hopefully there are more positive ones than negative ones to where I can have a decent argument for wanting to change from bo to hrt when it comes time for that conversation with the wife. But there may be more negatives that we both feel outweigh the positives and may end up not proceeding to hrt for a while or even at all. But who knows I'm just playing devil's advocate.
Yes I do have realistic expectations if I were to ever transition. I know I will prob be viewed as a female bodybuilder if I'm lucky lol. I'd prob want to try to save for at least some facial surgery, maybe a nose job or something that if I could only do one which would have the greatest affect on people seeing me more feminine. I've heard once most people had their nose done they were being read more female more of the time than before their nose job. But obviously I'd have to have a consult with the plastic surgeon and see what they recommend, and obviously my financial situation may or may not change by then.
For me right now I feel I'd need to pass if I were to transition, but that may change. I have not done really much of anything in terms of transitioning so it could very well change. All of my life I've wanted to be a woman. A fully functional woman (obviously I can't get pregnant or give birth or have periods) but other than. The obvious id want to be as fully functional of a woman as I can be. And most of that revolves around my genitals downstairs. There have been many time that I wished that the doctors would find something abnormal downstairs and rec I have my genitals removed, but that's never the case lol. Always healthy. I know that's something I'd never wish upon anyone and I know that's something I probably shouldn't even wish upon myself as well, but at least if they found for example testicular cancer I'd have a extremely good reason to have them removed and no one would bat an eye about it. Again that's an extreme example. But if I'm being honest I have always hoped for something like that before every physical I've ever had.
Anyways I really do appreciate your words of support and kindness, as well as your advice. I'm sorry that you decided that you couldn't transition, but I know not everyone does. I just hope that your gender issues aren't causing more unseen damage on your mental health and general well being. Hopefully nbe is a good compromise enough to keep those feelings and gender issues happy enough to not cause any further issues.
