That all sounds like great advice; I appreciate it!

I like the idea of having a plan. I'm at the very beginning of transition, so just about all of it is ahead of me. For me, starting with HRT is mostly to stop my body from continuing to change in the wrong direction (hair loss in particular), because the changes take a long time so I might as well get started, and because it's already clear to me that I would end up starting eventually anyway. I intend to explore every avenue of transition, but it's definitely too overwhelming to do everything at once, so having a plan to follow would help to avoid spiraling too much and losing momentum that way. And tracking progress like you said seems like a great idea. I tend to get overwhelmed by To Do lists, too, though, so it's a double-edged sword. 😅

I'm tempted to ask if you have any suggestions on which areas would be most impactful to start with, but that's probably going to be different for everyone. And it might make more sense to do things in parallel anyway, since so much of it will take time.
