Thanks Dragonfly. Telling the wife is the biggest obstacle right now. I don't expect that to go well....

Hi Stacy:

I didn't read you thread until just today. Anyhow, I'm happy for you and that your getting support. I think its a scary thing to transition and its good to have friends who are not going to go ape when they find out.

One thing I really want to say is PLEASE don't do injections to damage yourself. I think there is a real danger in this and there is a good mainstream path to transition what with therapists your doctor and so on. Turning off the testosterone is pretty easily done with drugs and from what I understand pretty inexpensive and has little fear of health issues. Ditto taking hormones! It does no good to blow out your liver! Anyway, I tend to agree with you on the Politics comments. However I started to laugh when you added religion because what did they used to say? Never discuss sex, religion or politics in polite company? If we take out "sex" err what would we have? A bunch of sexless people?!?! Oh.... Never mind.....



Anyway, I've not been that active on the forums (Or the computer as of late) as well. Good luck! Best wishes and try not to get banned again. I will say coming back as a female is the most creative way I've seen to avoid being rebanned.... And lace and pearls??

Things are going ok for now. I still need to make an appointment with a gender therapist but I have just been too busy and I can't really afford it with so much of my income being invested in a probe t right now. The financial issue should ease up on Thursday when I get a large payment that will cover investments and then a good bit more so may e I will set an appointment then.

I have come out to several people in the last few months and the person I thought would take it the best is really strugling with it. She is definitely doing her best but I thi.k she is really struggling to get her head around the trans thing. I love her dearly and I know she loves me the same way. I guess she was kinda blindsided by this and will just need time to adjust.

Besides someone STEALING my HRT and leaving me with NOTHING, I am doing well. I will be able to order more soon but it still takes 10 days to get it. I will do my best to not get too bitchy as my hormones go lower. :-\

Another TGirl that I WAS friends with. I kept the hormones at her place andhad even GIVEN her the HRT for free for two months.she wierded out one night and told me to come get some stuff I had at her place and when I went by the next day,she wouldn't give me my E. I am so done with trying to help and be friends with people that have mental issues because the last several people that I have tried to help them get back on their feet was just a waste of time, money and energy. I have wasted over 2k on two different people and it was all for nothing since they squandered the help and are no better off now then when I tried to help them.

It seems both people just wanted what they could get and had no interest in really trying to get their lives back on track. I guess I'm a sucker and always tend to believe in the best in others.

I would not consider you a sucker. You were trying to help your friends who did not appreciate your input

In life there are givers and takers. You my friend are one of the givers

AM I YOU?

I second this emotion...But,maybe a little more care could be taken when choosing the next "friend".. smooches dragonfly

Ahhh... the e flows again. It"s such a wonderful feeling of calm.... I also started DP 300 mg injections to complement the past everclear injections. 24 hours and I can already feel the delightful tenderness in the breasts.

Things are going great and I have contacted a gender therapist to start therapy. I'll update later how it progresses.

I have been waiting for a little more than a week for my first therapy appointment today. I was a little nervous but I have never been more ready to talk about this. I made up my mind to tell her anything and everything and hold nothing back. I figure it's just a waste of time and money to not be 100% upfront and honest and I don't really want to pay her to DIG this stuff out!

I really liked my therapist a lot and quickly felt at ease telling her anything and everything. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that she was VERY qualified to handle GID and had a lot of experience and compassion for GLBT and especially T.

The hour and a half just flew by and she asked if I felt comfortable with continuing to work with her in the future and I quickly told her that I felt very comfortable and looked forward to working with her and that I was glad that she didnt throw a box of tissues at me and call me a MAMBY PAMBY JACKWAGGON!

She laughed pretty good at that and said that if it would make me feel better she could throw the tissue box at me! lol So..... it looks like I will see her again in a few weeks!

"And that's why I don't like the color yellow, I think."

Congratulations on having found a damned good gender therapist. There's nothing else like it.
