Don't

Just as in every culture, sub culture call it what you will. There will always be badges of Honor. Milestones if you will. The Trans community is no different. You have In the Closet, |The Out of the Closet, Those on Hormones, Pre Op and Post Op. Then there are varying degrees in between. So each of these are Niches or Cliques. Which really is silly. Its like Alcoholics getting around comparing Notes. I can Drink 4 Bottles and Walk straight. That's nothing I can Drink 5 Bottles of Vodka and stand on my Head. Who really cares not Me. Don't let anyone take away from your experience no matter where you are on the Road. There is no Wait until this or that happens. Try Savor the moment no matter where you are on the path. Its like if you keep forestalling your happiness waiting for a specific Event to happen. By the time you get there it will be an Anti Climax. I will only be happy if I'm on Hormones. I will only be happy when I am Full Time etc, etc. That is Krud with a capital K.
