Start with the psychological aspects of transformation than with the physic

Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.

Male to female transition is a complicated process with lots of physical and psychological aspects and changes.Many make the mistake of thinking transition is about a physical change. That is only a small part of it.

For first thing, Contemplate the decision to transition, so spend time reflecting upon the decision. Read(internet) as much as you can about the transition process. Share your story and ask for the support of your family and friends. It is good to meet a Gender Therapist prior to receiving hormones or undergoing dangerous surgeries.

Your therapist may recommend that you undergo Hormone Replacement Therapy(HTR), which will be administered and supervised by an endocrinologist. The hormones will alter your body to align with your gender identity. Your endocrinologist or your GP will prescribe you an estrogen hormone regimen will monitor therapy and monitoring the dosage of estrogens. Then comes the aspects of hair removal: first facial and than in all your body, and try to alter your voice like a female and dress like a woman. After all these steps you can consider surgical treatments like breast implants, Face feminization surgery, vaginoplasty etc.

Wish you good health.

I think you will find help if you surround yourself with supportive friends and family members

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear user
Thank you for using HCM
I understand your trouble.

Each transition is unique, specific to the individual. Like transitioning ,coming out is unique to the individual. Your method of coming out has to be right for you! Be honest with those that are closest to you. Ask for their support. Give them space and time to digest the news.

Discuss the process with a close, trusted friend or members of a support group.
If your town or city does not have a local trans support group, join an online support group.

Meet a qualified therapist and ask him all the questions you have. Inquire about his interest in gender therapy and how many of his clients received recommendations for Hormone Replacement Therapy and surgery.Be honest with your therapist and yourself.

I m sure that you can find all the help you need if you stay strong and you are determined to protect yourself against discrimination.
Remember: you would be happy only if you are allowed to express your true self.

Hope this information is helpful for you.
Best regards.
