Hello Curious,
I've just added a reply to your BO thread.
I think a lot of people don't fully know their goals when starting out, but sticking with it, being consistent and you'll suss it out as time goes by. Ultimately it doesn't matter, male staying male or to fully transition, what does matter is YOU, do what enables your true self and happiness to shine through.
Just always remember to listen to your body, and enjoy the ride.
