Escape From The Penis Palace

After double-checking that estrogen wasn't the new underground drug high, I researched the hell out of Hormone Therapy. Still, I wasn't convinced. It seemed like such a serious commitment. In the end, my husband Jay helped make up my mind.
We were crawling into bed at the end of a long day.Standing the doorway between the bathroom and the bedroom, with his toothbrush in hand, he looked pensive.
"What's wrong?" I ask, trying to get Iggy Dog settled at the foot of the bed.
"Alice has a hint of an adam's apple. I noticed it tonight at dinner." he lifts a hand to his throat, "And all I could think was, six months sooner and we could have caught that."
It hits me then that if we are committed to going down this road, then withholding one of the necessary keys simply because I'm afraid of what other people will think, is cruel.
