Good question. I have to ask, what would you consider a non-transition dose? There is a world of other things that influence the decision to transition or not, beyond what you take, and how much of it. Family, age, physical appearances, money, and most of all, a realistic appraisal of whether or not one would make at least a semi-attractive female. Myself, it's been mostly family, as I have an extremely accepting wife. She doesn't desire sex, (been about 3 years now,) and sees me for who I am, (although often saying I have too many femme things.) Some of my obstacles have been removed, as I lost both my parents this summer. Believe it or not, even though I only made that 2000 mile round trip drive once or twice a year, I still had the inhibiting factor of not wanting to destroy their opinion of me.
That having changed, we are now discussing some minor physical "alterations", which remain to be ironed out. Transition is probably out, and I really don't think I could ask that much of her. But, I've always been more of a transgender than a transsexual. If we decide to push it a bit more, I would guess I'd be back on pharmas again. Patti
