Hello Sweetheart;
You have the advantage being only 22 years of age, of having potentially dramatic physical changes under an appropriate regiment of hormones, whether natural or synthetic. Much literature and studies mention that the earlier in life a person begins their physical changes, the more pronounced and effective they will be.
That said, please plan carefully. You may develop very noticible changes rather quickly before you are ready or able to transition. Some transgenders need over a year of electrolysis on their face to remove their beard. You will need to transition when your body changes result in people begin seeing and addressing you as a female. Timing is everything! It's very hard to stop your development when you see very emotionally satisfying physical changes occur. But as these changes occur, it will be more difficult to the point of impossible of hiding them from friends, family, and co-workers. Will you be ready emotionally and financially for the consequences, including possible rejection?
My point is to wish you success in realizing your dreams, put please "don't let reality take a break." Plan carefully!
Good luck!
Corey
