What has changed since my gender transition in 2016

I made decision to transition from male to female (MTF) in officially in October of 2016 after attending a few meetings with transwoman’s support group and a lifetime of gender dysphoria.

When I made the lifelong decision to accept my true gender I informed my wife, Daughter, and certain friends.

I started laser hair removal on my face

In November of 2016 I officially started using she/her pronouns.   

I switched the bathrooms and started using only the female bathroom.  Except at work

I met with a therapist and discussed my gender dysphoria to obtain the necessary letter to get started on hormones.

In December of 2016 I met with the gender clinic at KU to get checked out for hormones.  The doctor after several questions and a check of my health prescribed my hormones which I started.

I started taking spironolactone to decrease my testosterone and estradiol to give me estrogen.

Changes started quickly my skin started becoming softer and my body hair became less and finer.  My emotions also took a major change.  I lost what I called my hulk explosive ness and gained a softer more emotional side.  My breast started developing and have become a decent size.  I gained an inner peace that is indescribable.  A freedom of not having to hide a secret that I’ve carried my entire life. 

In April of 2017 with help and support from my trans group I gained enough courage to face my biggest hurdle in my transition sharing with my parents. 

In September of 2017 I informed my job of my gender and name change to take place in November of 2017. 

November 5, 2017, I officially came out at work (officially started using the women’s restroom and changed my name. Came out on Facebook to all remaining friends and family.

In January of 2018 I applied to get my name and gender changed and in February had a court date and legally became Kimberly Tiffany Egleston and female. 

In January of 2021 I started pursuing my gender confirmation surgery I had two visits with two therapists to acquire the necessary letters.  I had to meet with three doctors and get cleared.  In November of 2021 my surgery was completed.  Life goes on.
