I hope to start my transition soon.

Hi everyone :3

Here very soon,(the 15th this month) I will be going to see my psychiatrist/therapist person, and I'll be talking to them for the first time about me being transgender! Which I have known that I am for about 9 years or so at least, or at least I've known 100% for that long. My family suspected that I might be transgender when I was really young like around 3-4 years old, Instead of doing boy things I tried doing my older sister's hair and I think even attempted to do her makeup once, and I dressed up a lot too. I just don't know what to expect once I talk to my psychiatrist, or how long it could be before I can start hormones or anything. 

Any thoughts? 

Thanks

This is nice!  One bit of advise is to be totally honest with your therapist.  That is the best way to get the most out of it.  As to when you can start HRT, I was in counseling for 8 months before I started.  Although I knew I wanted to start at the beginning of therapy I saw I needed to slow down and take my time.  So don't rush things.  You will find things will all fall into place soon enough.  

All my best to you!
