Frontier, I don't know you, of course, but I sense that you are very conflicted about what to do. That tells me that you need to take more time to figure things out before jumping into any experimentation with hormones.

My gender issues came on suddenly, too. I then spent several weeks reading about gender identity dysphoria. I found Jack Molay's website, crossdreamers.com, about crossdreamers extremely helpful in my getting a handle on my problems. If interested, here's a good place to start:

As for seeing a therapist, I always though that was for men who felt they were actually women trapped in a man's body. Me, I know am I man, I have just always fantasized about being a woman.

But it was always too complicated/expensive to contemplate doing anything about it. That's why reading about PM has made me so conflicted. It's neither complicated nor expensive. Take an herbal supplement twice a day and some aspects of your long held fantasies might become a reality? That prospect is both insanely attractive and scary. As they say, be careful what you wish for. And don't all those movies involving magic and wishes always end up bad for the wishers?

Anyway thanks for letting me ramble. I have no idea what I'll do, but it surprises me to realize that I want to experience the effects of PM enough to seriously consider trying it, despite the possibility of irreversible changes.

That crossdreamers sight is interesting. I didn't realize so much thought and discussion had gone into this topic!
