I went to the doctor today...as Laurry. No trying to be female, no trying to pass, I was just myself. It was fantastic.
I haven't been to the doc's in a while...not since I moved a couple of years ago. Since my old doctor is clear across town (and Dallas ain't exactly small), I needed a new doctor in my neck of the woods. I figured they would find out about me soon enough, so I just went as myself...good old androgynous Laurry. Mostly male clothing, long-ish hair (with receding hairline--no wig), eyeshadow and mascara and a little lipstick, long nails...just my normal self.
Only once did I have second thoughts, and that was as I was parking the car. I remember thinking to myself, "You are out of your F'ing mind," but I did it anyway.
Know what? Nobody even blinked. I had this whole "I'm transgendered" speech all ready, and didn't even have to use it.
Just thought I would drop a little good news on y'all.
Peace, and thanks for all the good thoughts.
........Laurry
