Transgender, anything wrong with...?

I am transgender, but have a hard time getting over the anxiety of transition. I know SRS probably isn't for me, but the rest of transitioning (hormones and all that) is. Is there anything wrong with completely living as a man while on hormones until I reach the stage where people begin to call me "ma'am" while still dressed like a man then once that happens have the pronoun talk with friends. Is there anything wrong with continuing to wear fairly masculine clothing and still some men's clothing while living as a woman? Of course I'd wear a bra, but men's t-shirts? Basically I'd stay the same except for going on hormones. Once I have trouble being seen as a man in public then I'd start telling people to use female pronouns in reference to me and wearing a bra. At some point along the way I'd have electrolysis on my face. Other than that I really wouldn't do much of anything else...no make up, no nail polish, probably no hair accessories except for a scrunchy to hold in a pony tail (currently growing out hair). I'd wear women's glasses and adopt a female name when I started wearing a bra and using female pronouns. Is this acceptable? Go on hormones, permanently remove facial hair, wear a bra, women's glasses, and a hair scrunchy to hold in a pony tail, adopt a female name and use female pronouns...that's it otherwise remain the same. also is this common, not common, abnormal, odd, weird, creepy, or any other adjective I'm not thinking of at the moment?

1. Put on what you whant don't let any one stop you
2. You are who you are, you can be who ever you want to be cus it's your life and your choice. If ur happy with wanting to be a women then so be it. There's nothing wrong with being transgendered cus every body is different and beautiful in there own way.
3. There is plenty wrong with transgendered people. Few and far between that is. lol Be happy the way you want to be, don't let other people tell you what to do. If friends are shocked by your lifestyle choices, they have a choice to make themselves. Either leg it or stay for the long haul.
4. You said: "Is there anything wrong with completely living as a man while on hormones until I reach the stage where people begin to call me ma'am". That's exactly what a lot of us do/did. I would not wait on the electro, start immediately because it always takes longer than you think. Also at some point I would suggest going out as your female self on occasion to gain experience. It's hard to go from zero to 60 at the drop of a hat. That practice will prevent you being shellshocked when you do go full-time. Any good therapist wouldn't have any problem with your initial plan.
