NEW NEXT STEP!

For me is it to find a surgeon for orchy who takes Medicare advantage plans.  HRT is very frustrating for me, I started the forth week now, and cannot detect any results whatsoever from it.

Four weeks in on HRT really is still early to have physical effects.  I first started having detectable effects at about 6 weeks, an intermittent sensation of calm as my testosterone level approached the bottom of the male range.  This became my new normal at around 3 months.  I started to see changes in breast tissue at around 2 1/2 to 3 months as I recall.

I don't know if and when I might see changes in breast tissue, because I have close to B cup breasts already (without HRT), I hope that estrogen will still work on them, because I would want to get to a C cup.
I have a bandwidth of 42, and B cup boobs look really little on a chest of this size.

Dietlind dear, how long did it take you to get your PhD?    Transitioning could be called the PhD of life, one needs patience and perseverance and it takes years and may never end.  Please be patient with yourself and let go of the frustration.

But when I was working towards my academic degree, I had many years in front of me, and it was not as pressing to get there.  Now that I work on my body mods, the years are counted, and I want some time to have fun with the new me!  The sooner I get there, the more time for fun is left!
I mean, I am halfway there, and HRT was meant to give it some extra boost, and I don't see anything of that extra!

Dear Marcie:
I am looking at your update as all good news!!  Telling your family and your church friends and coming out to them is such a life-freeing and mind-freeing experience.   Sure, with some family members and some church members it may be very difficult and might present some disagreeable issues but telling them "directly" in person or with a personal message is a much better way to go than letting the gossip hotline be the source of information for them about your transition.

Ahhh, the HR department at your work.... 
....are they doing what they should be doing with your transitioning?

Thank your for keeping us all updated,
Hugs and well wishes as always,
Danielle

I had an opportunity to tell my direct supervisor since we were going oaquaintenancesa t work, but it is will be soon! ver all the outside stress I was experiencing and how that was impacting my work life, so I asked if she could keep something personal private she said of course, and I just told her, she asked a few questions and told me some had asked about the make up I was wearing, but she had told them it is my choice, and business.  THEN she came out to me as being in a a same sex marriage! I cried and congratulated her and asked if I could hug her, and we did!  It was awesome!  I still have not found out my wife's families' reaction, or told church or HR or other acquaintances at work about my gender change.  That will be soon!!  I am passing a lot now, my daughter was in the hospital for three weeks and I was doing a lot of running around the hospital for food, etc. I was maam'ed more than not! It was great.  I could not have imagined that that would happen so easily.  A few changes to my hair - Toppik fibers and spray, and jewelry and just a little change in my clothes and carrying my purse more prominently and Voila!

Hey Ladies!  I am out to my entire immediate family, all sisters brother inlaws, sister in laws, and a number of others, and if you looked at me - the world, but I still have to assure the rest of the senior staff, that I am not just gaining an interest in make-up and womens clothes, and to tell HR, and my pastor and a couple close friends face to face and then...Its Marcie time!!  I really cannot wait! 

Thanks to you all this is what can happen!  Love ya all, especially HappyMoni, Laurie, AlaskanDanielle, and so many others!


Now, lose weight, do lots of electrolysis, affirm relationships, schedule surgery, figure out hair...?  What is next for you?

Love and Hugs, Marcie

[Linde]

You will do it, one step at a time! After all, you are just a young chick (everybody seems to be young to me these days).

I am out to everybody I care for to be out to, and it is a very liberating feeling.
You are not the only one in the loosing weight field.  That stuff seems to get on so easy, and is a pain in the **** to loose again.  But I think we are strong, if we had the guts to become women, and tell everybody who we are, we have enough strength to deal with that stupid bacon on our bodies!

Good luck for your continuous adventure!

Dear Marcie:
This is such wonderful news that you reported!!! 

As I have mentioned in many various posts and comments that I have made, when you come-out, especially to family members and loved ones, it is such a freeing experience, like a big heavy weight is lifted off your shoulders.  No more burdens of physically and mentally hiding your secret, you can now live more freely and openly as you have desired.   I am very happy for you that you have accomplished this difficult deed.

More tasks ahead like telling others as you mentioned, but each time that you come-out it will start to become easier and easier and less stressful...   the biggest difficulty you have already faced, coming out to your family... kudos to you.

Now, for you to continue on in your journey with more tasks ahead as you previously mentioned, then it is "Marcie time." 

Thank you for sharing and posting your continuing transition story as you continue toward your goals.
I will be eagerly following your thread for your future updates as you feel comfortable posting them.

Many Hugs and well wishes,
Danielle

Hey Moni!  I have pierced ears, dyed hair, threaded eyebrows have told one church friend and a former Pastor and have a meeting set up with our current Pastor, and a time set to tell my favorite cousin about who Marcie is!  If you want to chime in to my Pastor, maybe we can meet up this weekend and call together?  LOL

Have a "blessed" day Moni!

Love ya  Marse
