I had my 3rd therapy today.
Talked about my coming out schedule (another 2 close friends in May and parents in July), mundane stuff and then I asked to be on hormones.
I got the blood work done in the office next door after my session. That was a surprise.
Now, to get on hormones I have to:
1. Write an essay (3 pages minimum) why I want/need to be on hormones
2. Since I'm married, I need to get my wife's permission.
That's the Japanese guideline.

Permission... Well, that means she has to come with me or write a letter.
My wife and I had an argument about the whole thing during the week. (ref-> "You give up or I kill myself" : https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,163267.msg1404968.htm)
I'm not going to fake the permission but work on my wife.

Anyways, I went en femme again. Second time.





I went by car again. Not confident enough to use the public transportation in girl mode yet.
This time, I was able to park close to the office. Still not confident to walk that much either.
Maybe I'm a bit overdressed to go see a therapist...
Arrived the time to pay, I had insufficient cash because the blood work wasn't planned (I'm not going to complain).
I thought I could use my credit card but couldn't. I had to walk to the convenience store to withdraw cash.
Didn't walk that much (probably 300m) but still, enough to get clocked again. Like the first time I went en femme, I survived.
I have reroute "clocked -> shame!" to "clocked -> who cares..." in my brain.

Next, I have to be able to use the public transportation.

Congrats on your progress! You look great! And I love your attitude about being clocked because "who cares" really is the best solution/way to handle it  :D
