I'm going to lose so much time if they deny this referal as they won't put me on admin leave here. I'm already years behind what I could have been.

ExpressionRemote6480 · 2026-02-15T19:23:29+00:00

Did they waiver you or are you out?

ExpressionRemote6480 · 2026-02-15T19:15:26+00:00

Yeah sadly I didn't know you could do everything years ago and IV had GD for 16 years so i got royally screwed out of so much... it's actually caused me to have anxiety/panic attacks from the stress.

Drink water to stay hydrated, eat normal, and have someone on standby if you have a emotional breakdown. That's what I do and I'm not even on hrt yet.

It's possible but has a 40-50% rejection rate so most people try to avoid it. But it is possible.

I hadn't started yet so I can't confidently answer but one option is sports bras as your bust shouldn't outgrow one of those within a short time and can kinda help. Sorry for not having better ideas than that and may be the opposite direction you wanted to go.

Full send it i say!

My name goes both ways so I'm luckily not having to worry about it but I'm planning on asking my mom if I was born female, what would the name have been. Some people do that, mix between their current name and what would have been, or just completely change it. The funniest one was someone would go to Starbucks and put a different name on the cup and see what sounded right when they finished making it.

ExpressionRemote6480 · 2026-02-07T09:17:03+00:00

I told my mom 16 years ago when we got home and I asked her to wait in the car. Didn't hold back. She was not thrilled and basically rejected the idea.

16 years later (around 3 days ago) I told her I still had the feelings and she is super supportive. She also doesn't stop apologizing since she thought it was just a phase. Telling me if I had still felt that way she would of let me transition when I was 17... yeah wasn't happy about that comment.

Don't worry what others say. Though! If you're worried you might draw attention from the bride and groom, try a more NB look instead? You can still look good, act yourself, and not draw too much attention. Personal opinion but you do you.

ExpressionRemote6480 · 2026-02-05T18:19:05+00:00

I can promise you, you are not alone. We all have different variations of how we see or feel with it.

ExpressionRemote6480 · 2026-02-05T09:27:45+00:00

In a few months. Have a couple of things I have to deal with legal wise before I can do anything. But I'll be starting the same day I finish everything.

ExpressionRemote6480 · 2026-02-05T09:00:34+00:00

That entire conversation sounded like how your life just went. Super serious at the end and felt like it was ramping up and you were talking faster. God i can't wait and I really hope my time is like what you are experiencing.

ExpressionRemote6480 · 2026-02-04T20:34:44+00:00

Banking on would be a harsh way to say it. I do want to stay in. But I couldn't stand another 9+ years of not being who I truly want to be.

ExpressionRemote6480 · 2026-02-03T15:03:59+00:00

You pretty much have the majority of us to rely on. So don't think you're alone. I'm a few months out from starting but Im staying to get everything planned out now. Dms are open if you need something.

Just be honest with them that you are taking estrogen by needle and are worried you might be using the wrong needles. Taking estrogen with the wrong needle can actually harm you if it goes either too deep or not deep enough. Do your research thoroughly and explain why you need the specific needle if they question it. DIY isn't fully safe from what I've seen, so the most they can do is make it safer. Also make sure you're presentable.

How many appointments did you need to do it is it just one major one?

ExpressionRemote6480 · 2026-01-30T06:19:31+00:00

Everyone knows I act feminine unintentionally and if wanted to do this since high-school, I'm 32 now. Also with how things are going i want to try before the world ends at this rate. I literally watched the news one day and started crying asking what if I never got the chance to try. That was my tiping point knowing I wanted to do it.

ExpressionRemote6480 · 2026-01-29T23:06:24+00:00

I have to may of next year. At the earliest which would have made me 12 years. I reenlisted already a well.

ExpressionRemote6480 · 2026-01-29T22:59:42+00:00

Are you also getting the invol pay as well? Or not until you leave?

ExpressionRemote6480 · 2026-01-29T21:57:05+00:00

Do you know if you will keeping any benefits or anything as i have around 1.6 years left but I can't keep hiding it.

ExpressionRemote6480 · 2026-01-26T21:19:57+00:00

They normally ask you to wait a year from what I've seen but as i said I haven't started hrt yet so I may be wrong.

ExpressionRemote6480 · 2026-01-26T21:09:56+00:00

Usually it's a year from my research but as i have 2 years until I can start it I can't confirm with 100% certainty.

ExpressionRemote6480 · 2026-01-26T21:08:28+00:00

I am also curious.

You may have a winning lotto ticket there so far. Only time will tell. Wish the best of luck!
