Tomorrow

 

I started this Journey in Feb/March of 2005 at 54 years of age, it was now or never to my transition to becoming the woman I felt I should have been born as.But, I guess it really started at age 10 in 1960, when I remember trying on my sister's panties and nightgowns. I have what is now know as gender dysphoria. It shaped my life in so many ways.

By age 54, I just figured it was time to complete the journey. So, I began by trying losing a lot of weight via cardio and changing my what I ate. I went from a waist of 45 to 38. My lowest weight was 220. I am about 195, which is a good weight for me. My female dress size is now a 16 which is a good size.

Finally in December 2010 at almost, 60 years old, I started HRT with the thought of living full-time as Trisha.

However, what I discovered is that the changes brought on my HRT have brought me to a very satisfying place, 18 month later.
I will always have dysphoria, but the physical and mental changed brought on my HRT, have brought me to a very happy place that is short of having corrective surgery...
Physically, I love how I look and feel. Getting up every morning and looking at a woman in the mirror and having to put on a bra because my breasts hurt is very satisfying... Crying at emotional events and memories is satisfying. I no longer follow sports and enjoy a good emotional movie or show.
I now dress 24/7 female. But I know I am female inside. I finally feel comfortable with myself. I am not longer driven to find the time to dress or be a woman. I am one.
I am going to rest and enjoy this stop. This maybe the final stop on my journey and if so, I am going to build a great life right here as Trisha.
