TL;DR I will be able to start transitioning as soon as this guidance is put out on how they're going to do it. Looks like they finally took a page from other Royals Air Forces around the world and see that TG girls and guys are more than capable of serving like anyone else.

Lol, your TL;DR is longer than the first part. 
Yeah you're right it was a bit lengthy. I shoulda separated that statement with a new line, lol. Anyway, just like you did, I also have been wearing panties and a bra, but not a sports one. I have a bradelis bra that enhances my cup size and shapes me up just nicely. I NEVER take my blouse off no matter how hot it is outside. Winter is coming up soon so I'll have even more layers on, but by then it won't matter. I'm actually trying to maintain stealth while I'm still in because I don't want to cause any uneasiness with my troops. I only have 9 months left and then I'll be separating to live in Japan; my new home.
I've been going to mental health for about a year now and soon it will all pay off. My health provider is so understanding and kind. He wants to help me through this process and make sure my mind isn't getting warped at the same time or other people aren't giving me a hard time. He's a civilian and he himself says that even though he identifies male, he doesn't see why society in America places so much emphasis on what's male and what's female.
I'm just so hyped for Oct 1 to roll around. As soon as the guidance is published I'll let you all know. I'm sorry you couldn't stick around to see this through, Carys, but your sacrifice won't be in vain. Finally, all of our transgender brothers and sisters can walk in the AF with pride and their heads held high.
