[Skye is on fire]

Kellyanne, have you seen or considering to see a therapist first? I would definitely try googling a trans support group as they have the resources to help you get a start. Usually they can recommend therapist and doctors who deal with trans people than taking a stab in the dark and finding yourself with an unfriendly doctor or uncomfortable situation. A therapist would definitely help you with "coming out" and various other social issues. I don't feel comfortable on giving advise when it comes to these things as it deals with another person's family/life situation which could get very sticky knowing if anything went wrong, I'd feel responsible for giving the advice. Therefore, I would strongly advise seeking local help. Otherwise, YouTube is a great resource nowadays, there are many, many transition videos that chronicles every step of a transition. Usually from day one to surgery. This is just my opinion, please don't think I'm being stand offish.
