Hi Clara,
Please don't take my views as anything other than personal, by the way! That's just how I see it, and I am but one of many differing opinions!
It would, but only if I were free to decide that for myself.
There's no way I could put my wife and kids through all that .... fortunately, I don't have to, because 2-4g of PM per day enables me to cope with my dysphoria. I think PM literally saved my life.
Heavens, I have no idea how long I have left. The sheer amount of work required in terms of surgical operations, deportment lessons, voice coaching, attitude, background knowledge that every girl has by the age of 14-16 - fashion, cosmetics, the way colours blend and match. How to arrange flowers... and that's only scratching the surface. I'd probably get my head around half of it by the time I was ready for the care home. To me, all that work and effort could only be repaid by not only being passable, but attractive - and there aren't many GGs who are attractive at 62 with the best will in the world. Serious FFS required and at the end of it I might look like Joan Rivers! (If I could afford it)
When I got married, I thought I had a cross-dressing fetish. I did tell my wife about it (thank God) but we were both very naive, and had no idea that I would wind up with a pair of boobs. But, though they would be a reasonable size if I had the rib cage and shoulders that I would have done if testosterone hadn't ruined them, they hide away quite well under a baggy shirt.
I'm very happy indeed for Sarah and Arielle. No marital commitments, no kids to screw up, no long years of constant testosterone deformation, plenty of time for E to do its sugar and spice job, plenty of time to learn the ropes of passability, and a total understanding of each other's perspective.

Bryony, I remember thinking those same thoughts a couple of years ago. It really depends on how much you want it, how much you need it....
