I just transferred back to a college that I knew was more LGBT friendly, and it's worked out really good. A doctor I had seen there before, as a female student, was very accepting of my decision to transition. Since the last time she saw me, I started cutting my hair short and wearing it in a more masculine hairstyle, and she said that it suited me better, and she was happy to call me by a different name and pronouns. Unfortunately, as far as the state is concerned, I'll be seen as female until I have surgery, so my student ID still has to have my feminine name, but now has a new more masculine picture. This doctor also referred me to a doctor on campus that can prescribe T for me, so I've got an appointment with that doctor Tuesday to get that done. I'm so excited to finally take the next step.
I'm still living with my parents for the time being, so all this is behind their backs because they're very discriminatory of all LGBT related things, but I have my own space that they stay out of and so far they seem to be fine as long as I continue not discussing it with them. I've always dressed more masculine, and while they don't like my super short hair, they pretty much ignore it after the first day or so. I also hope to move out soon anyway, and my doctor has offered to put me in touch with somebody on campus that knows of some resources that could possibly help with that.
