10/10/2016 0 Comments Another therapy sessionToday I had another session. It was awesome. I got to relay all of the positive things that happened this past week. Coming out to several friends who lit up when I told them and hugged or high fived me, to being told I had been their best girl friend when we worked together.
There was also the story of shopping at Target in my work uniform. My uniform is a red shirt, so when I am at Target, I am frequently mistaken for an employee. Well, I was pushing the cart down the aisle when a mother and her young son were coming towards me. The son pointed at me and said "She works here and she's shopping." That brought such a feeling of happiness to me. I think I smiled the rest of the day. The only downer for the week was mom's kind of indifferent response to me telling her. I will be processing that for a while. Fortunately, my brother was with her and was a wonderful cheerleader for me. And it looks like I will be able to make an appointment with the hormone doctor next week! I am so excited! 10/10/2016 0 Comments Catching Up...Here is a run down of my life so far.
I am 52 years old and very happily married. For as long as I can remember, I have loved to wear womens clothing. The first instance that I remember was at the start of puberty. This was also the time when my nipples developed hard lumps under them and they were extremely sensitive. A trip to the doctor revealed that they were trying to grow. Sadly, they didn't develop beyong that point. Most of my life I repressed these desires and traveled through life in guy mode. By the 1990s, I was out to most of my close friends as a crossdresser. I however only dressed at home. It felt very uncomfortable going out in public. I started dating my wife by the end of the 1990s. She already knew I was a crossdresser when we were dating. She never minded that and has never looked down on me for it. Up until this spring, I never concidered that I was transexual. I never had a problem with my genitals and I always assumed that meant I wasn't trans. This spring I discovered that partial transitions were a thing and my world exploded. The Universtiy of Minnesota has a program for gender dysphoria and I am now seeing a therapist there and will soon be seeing a doctor to begin HRT. Since I started seeing the therapist and seeing the diagnosis in writing, my life has improved beyond my imagining. I never thought I was depressed or anything prior to this, but wow, has a giant load been lifted off of me. I have been living full time for the last week and a half and have felt wonderful. I am treated as the gender I feel, which is amazing. I have come out to many friends and family these past couple weeks and they have all been amazing. When I have talked to people, there faces light up and they high five me or give me hugs. One former coworker even said I had been her best girlfriend at the office. 9/10/2016 0 Comments MeasurentsI want to keep track of the physical changes as I go through this process. I kind of wish I had taken these before the therapy started since I have lost 8 pounds since I began.
Weight - 189.5 pounds Over bust - 38.5" Bust - 39" Under bust - 37" Waist - 38" Hips - 42" Thighs - 22.5" And the unmentionables - 6" x 5" circumference. I will try and do this every months to see how my body changes. |
