Hello everyone. I have been lurking around here for years but never actually wrote anything. I want to thank in advance to everyone that has put out there such helpful information that someway or another ive used along this long path i'm on.
Im 31, trans, Hispanic, and i started my transition in late 2008 while working at a retail store in CA. I have had a long hard road, though ive been blessed or lucky enough to not have had it as hard as others have. I've had been full time since 2009-ish, had breast augmentation in 2010 and my orchi in 2012. I have a good insurance plan through my company which covers SRS (already scheduled) but doesnt cover FFS. Per WPATH SOC, ffs is medically needed, and my plan says that "consideration for benefits is guided by the most current standards of care as published by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health WPATH and by the provisions, limitations and exclusions as seth forth by the plan". So i dont understand. Do you guys have any advice?
I have a very loving and supportive bf who says i'm perfect the way i am, but being in the field i am in, my looks bother me, it bothers me when i feel some people are staring at me or whatever.... even though i am passable i still feel theyre on to me or something... am i the only one? i get very VERY anxious and i start sweating, turn red nd start shaking at times. I haven been FT for a long time and i often feel as if it was my first time steeping out into the world. Any advice?
