" Have you done any research of your own?

I don't know very much about f2m since I am m2f... I focused more on that aspect of the HRT and SRS. So i can't help you much. But the best thing to do is do some research for yourself.

I started looking for stuff at Wikipedia, followed some links ofcourse, because we all know Wikipedia isn't extremely reliable. "

" hello, i am also looking to try transitioning from f to m, the first hurdle is getting a doctor to listen, then you have to go to a psychiatrist that specialises in gender dysphoria, then you can get the testosterone injections and surgery from there, or so i have been told, there is a really good page on the mind website, look up mind.org.uk/info then look for the page on understanding gender dysphoria, i hope this helps, there is also a really good website called transfriendly with really friendly forums, where i am sure someone would be happy to tell you all about their transition, hope this helps, have fun "

" Hey. This is my second time transitioning so I think I know a little about it. I know that the peace and calmness and self-esteem that I feel has made any discomfort worth it!!! The shots can hurt, but it's worth it for the effects that you get.
I want to caution you on one thing: don't rush into anything. Talk to a therapist first, then start your hormones and go from there. The first time I started transitioning - when I was 30 - I rushed it and ended up talking the dr into surgery in six months!!! This time I'm taking my time and the anxiety is a lot less!!!! Just do whatever makes YOU comfortable, don't let anyone rush you into anything.
Best of luck!!!! "
