So, I'm Amanda. I've been out as being trans, and open about it, for about the past 3 or 4 years now. I was able to go full time when I was in high school for my senior year, then noticed a development in my perception of my gender to the point that I was finding that I switched between three different mental "gender states": male, female, and neither (perceived and felt as agender). Primarily, I'm finding myself in a female "gender state", so my plan is to transition from being male to being female. I feel that if I'm physically female, I can better present either of my three gender states. After several sessions discussing this with my therapist, she feels it's the best call, as well.
I had an appointment with an endocrinologist last October, and she said she didn't feel confident in her ability to start a trans patient on hormone therapy, and recommended I contact a couple of other hospitals about it.
My therapist and I are going to set up a complete, in-depth plan for me to transition (which I will be sharing with everybody later on). For now, I have to find out if any of my insurances cover HRT, because if I'm paying for it out of pocket, I need to know so I can plan for it.
I've never been too great at introduction posts on forums, so if y'all have any questions, feel free to ask. I'm mostly an open book.
