Hi all,
I'm pretty quiet here, but about 12 months ago I posted a few things here when I started walking down this crazy road. After struggling with my non-binary gender for a few years, I started taking action to be the real me. Part of that included seeking mtf bottom surgery.
Cue the dozens of doctor visits, psychologists and psychiatric evaluations, and being told by a health care professional that "nobody would touch me". Suffice to say, there were low times mixed in there. But I have a wonderful supporting fiance, and a few really helpful and understanding friends.
And today I was told by my psychiatrist (recommended by a guardian angel on Susan's!) that he'd write my letter of support for bottom surgery. I can't really express how it feels to see the big roadblock disappear... now the only thing between me and where I need to go is the waiting list.
So yeah... I just had to share my joy with people who would understand. It's challenging being non-binary and seeking a partial transition, because you're so far off the beaten path nobody knows how to deal with you. But stick with it, whatever your 'it' is, and I trust that you will get there.
faith,
-Kell
