Thanks for sharing all of your experiences and sage advice. Im still eagerly awaiting my "final step" which will hopefully be sometime later this year. One aspect oftransition that you left out is all of the fun (NOT) of hair removal, either facial or genitals(preop requirement),,.. Between that and having had an Orchiectomy a few years ago, Ive shown my "junk" to more folks than I can keep count of. Whatever I had for modesty went out the window a LONG time ago :)
