Waiting...
... for my hair to get long enough for even a short feminine cut. I don't really feel like wearing a wig, but I guess I might try a cute headscarf.
... to lose weight. I'm going about as fast as I safely can, and it's noticeable, but there's still a lot to go.
... for hair removal. Seeing the effects already, but gotta wait at least a month between appointments.
... for hormones. First appointment in six weeks or so. At least there's DIY as a fallback.
But! I'm out to my family, and my immediate coworkers (I work from home anyway). So I can wear what I want, practice my voice and makeup, and things are good. I don't wear anything more boyish than women's jeans and a semi-fitted T-shirt (OK, fairly neutral), and I guess I'll just tell anyone who asks. Just wish I could see in the mirror how I feel.
