28/5/2017 0 Comments Caught it years agoI recently remembered something that happened sometime around 1990. I had gone to see a therapist because I was distraught about a recent breakup. It had been a battle to get in, but I did get in for one appointment. One of the first things the therapist had asked me was if I wore women's clothing. I remember answering that I did, but it wasn't an issue for me and I was comfortable with my dressing up however I wanted and then changed the subject back to why I went to see him. I wonder what would have happened if I had gone back for more sessions.
28/5/2017 0 Comments Hair and insuranceThis week, I filed my first claim to get back some of the money I have spent on hair removal. I submitted a large packet with all of the letters, coverage descriptions and invoices. Talking with a friend last night, it sounds like I might also need billing codes to get paid. She is going to give me the ones she uses.
And i I had two hours of electrolysis this week. Lower lip is mostly cleared at this time and the upper lip has had its first clearing. Now that hurt! But it also makes me happy. 23/5/2017 0 Comments Working on less hairToday I had another hour of electrolysis. My lower lip is close to being cleared now. Friday I face an hour on my upper lip.
20/5/2017 0 Comments More clarityI started reading "She's Not There" by Jennifer Finney Boylan this morning. When she was taking about various things in her youth that indicated her early realizations of being transgender, it struck me that any time I was give a gift of clothing, I absolutely hated it. I had always told myself that is was because I wanted more toys, but I think the reality was that they weren't the clothes I wanted.
20/5/2017 0 Comments Saturdays excitementI started the morning by starting electrolysis on my upper lip. Since I am upping the amount of time I spend on it, it was time to start on a new area.
After that, I went for a bra fitting at Allure Intimates. We had a rep come and talk at the last Minnesota Transgender Alliance meeting. She was there this morning and I got two new bras that fit great! When I got home, the mail had already arrived and my new drivers license had arrived! 19/5/2017 2 Comments Small thingsLast night we had to have one of our cats put to sleep. We knew it was coming but I am completely devastated.
Two small all things happened today to brighten my sad day. First was the unlikely delight of our property tax notice! Not for the taxes themselves but for the fact that it has my new name on it! And second was the arrival of my new work shirts, also with my new name. 19/5/2017 0 Comments A motherI had posted the story about being asked if I might be pregnant on Facebook. My mother in law said she thought I would have made a great mother. It's weird but I agree. I think I would have loved it. I also know that being a father would have been absolutely horrible. I would have been completely lost as a person.
18/5/2017 0 Comments Another funny momentI went to the doctor today for a knee injury. I had to get an X-ray to make sure nothing was really wrong. The first thing out of the techs mouth was, "Is there any chance you are pregnant?"
That made my day. 17/5/2017 0 Comments Oh yeah!Today marks 6 months on estrogen and I feel better than I ever thought possible!
