So today I had my first appointment with a therapist.  It was basically a 20-questions thing so my soon-to-be-assigned-counselor has a platform to work from. The "screener" (for lack of a better term) asked me a ton of gender-related things and even delved a little into the realities of transitioning.  Hard to believe that after two and a half years on Susan's that I'd finally be doing this.  Just taking the first step today has made me happier than I've been in a really long time, and hopefully I can stay that way.

<3 to everyone here.  The small victories are often the best.   :)

Hey, I've thought about transition all my life and am just recently getting serious about going for it  :laugh:
The main things to remember in life are Love, Kindness, Understanding and Respect - Always make forward progress

Superficial fanny kissing friends are a dime a dozen, a TRUE FRIEND however is PRICELESS

Congratulations!  Therapy is a very important first step.  Get the most out of your therapist.
Ill no longer be defined by my condition. From now on, I'm just, Kate.

Great going, Nathan.  For me, that first session was soooo hard, but so liberating.  I am excited for you.
