Yesterday my psychologist told me he would write me my second letter. Today, I got a call from Dr. Bowers office. As you can see from my new ticker below, I have set the date for my surgery. On March 14, 2012 I will finally be complete after 41 years on this planet in the wrong body. I won't lie, it has cost me a lot and probably will continue to in the future. However, it has also finally brought inner peace into my life. The anger and frustration are gone. I am a happy person now most of the time instead of the depressed shell of a person I was. It was the only thing I could do to survive. I only wish I didn't have to hurt so many to get here.
I really don't know how to feel right now. I feel like smiling and crying and am doing both in turns. I'm stunned into immobility and want to dance. I think that pretty much sums up my transition as a whole. Yet, I finally have that pin in the calendar. That date on the wall to look forward to and to remind me that it is real. It is going to happen. I can't believe it.
On March 14, 2012, my real life begins and the true journey will start.
