Hi everyone,
Yes, I did post a topic on HRT at the end of November. I was curious about it at the time, and was wondering what it was like. After reading several posts from Terri-Ann, I realized for me at least, that the risks outweighed the benefits. Terri-Ann pointed out that you really have to feel like living in your born male gender would be just so unbearable that you really had no choice but to go through with HRT. After doing some soul searching, I realized that I'm just not at that point. I do feel like a woman on the inside, and don't need female clothes to feel that way, but I still feel like I can live as both male and female and still be fairly satisfied. I am going to start seeing another therapist that specializes in TG issues, and may join a support group that the initial counselor suggested. Veronica is willing to give me some time each month to explore my feminine side. The support group meetings would be an opportunity to do just that. I also talked to her about returning the glasses if she can help me find a less expensive pair that works with my face shape and wig styles. We will probably do that together in the next couple of weeks sometime. We had a productive appointment together at the therapist, so I think we are heading in the right direction. It feels good to be able to talk to my wife about my feelings. I know she is not crazy about any of this, but I am so proud of her for trying to understand. It means so much to me to be able to share that side of me. I think most of you know how nice that must be. I'm feeling very fortunate at this point to be with Veronica, and to be moving forward together. We are both learning a lot about ourselves. Talk to you all soon!
Love
Lisabeth
