Dear,
Get a psychologist and a proper hormone doctor 
Natural pytho and bovine extracts are not strong enough to create passable t-girls
You can see my recent post in this forum on my own natural breasts development.  They still do not create a passable girl. Which is the whole point of transitioning
Dont use natural products more than a year.. maybe for a year its great to test how it feels to be a girl - which is the path I took a growing some boobs and getting greater skin and some butt shape .. but then stop and get on to the real thing.

Yes I agree, however, in my personal opinion, it depends upon the person. Some people are so unhappy with their gender identity that it affects their entire lives negatively. I am of the opinion that if you are young enough (preferably under 20), then go for it 100%. Do the transition the proper way, under medical supervision, have the op and do the treatments required to do it right, without harming yourself. Then you will be able to start your adult life and build long-term relationships, change your identity docs, and have everything in place before you start your life journey, a journey that will include investments, bank accounts, and all of the various institutions that we deal with as we go through life.

For those of us (me included) who are older, it is an entire different story. I regret not having the "sex-change" operation when I was in my teens. However it was a different time, a different situation, I grew up in an environment with little tolerance for wider thinking, I was small, I was afraid and had little confidence. Most of all there would have been no money to finance such a transition, and I would be laughed at. Now I am pushing 51, I look at myself in the mirror and if I'm honest with myself I will have to admit that the time to do a full transition is long behind me, even though I can fund a full transition 100 times over. I am of the opinion that older males do not transition well, and they never own who they are. They end up operating in smaller circles, and always unhappy with things and complaining about something, are frequently alone, or with very few people around them. Most people from their earlier lives are no longer in their circle of friends because they don't identify with one another anymore. I see them in my cross-dressing group when we get together (about 25 of us, it varies), a few of whom have transitioned fully, including the operations and what not. All of them are awkward in their new shells. They are trying, but they still move like men, the walk like men, they smoke like men, they have male voices that won't change, as much as they try, and their limbs look awkward in female clothing. We talk about it often, and practice certain movements and behaviors. But it is difficult. You have to think about it all the time when you're older when in public (I suppose it is easier for me since I have been cross-dressing for 30 years now and have a lot of experience with presentation myself as a woman).

It is difficult I know. You question yourself all the time. It is my personal opinion that it is OK for "older" girls to experiment with herbs to bring about physical change and to stop and start when they feel like it, but the youngsters shouldn't. It will create a lot of confusion, and prevent them from developing their lives, since they'll be neither here nor there. Ideally they should make the decisions early, before their real life journey starts, to avoid confusion and misery. I know this now because I still feel the same way today than what I did 35 years ago, about being a woman, and not a man. But I'm totally cool with who I am.

If you're in your teens or early 20's, I suggest to go see a good doctor, initiate the process, do the evaluations, do the shrink visits, the therapy, and if these all point in the right direction, and you still feel the same in your heart, then do it the proper surgical way. However it is expensive, with years of required expensive medication afterwards.

Feel free to comment. Your thoughts will be welcome.
