So, last weekend my wife and I went shopping & I got some very masculine looking professional attire.

On Tuesday, I wore some of my new clothes and it felt good.   Then I had a doctors appointment -- i have tons of medical issues so I have to go see my doctor at least once year.  Well, I came out to her that I was trans -- totally did not phase her in the least.  She immediately started addressing me in the male pronoun and using Rob.  I showed her my transition plan ... she said was not comfortable prescribing T to me ... and I explained the doc that does it for our area works with my wife and I had gone to her house for social things.  So, as I sat there she sent a message to the doctor who handles trans stuff and asked if they could work together to get my needs meet.  My plan said to start T in Jan...and she looked my plan over and said it looked great to her.  Some of my medical conditions are a bit out of wack - so she she & I are working on getting them in line -- but she said she felt confident that I could start T by Jan if not sooner!

Then I went to the pharmacy and got my scripts filled -- and the pharmacist who knows me by name cause I am there so frequently addressed me as sir.

I was on cloud 9 all night long ... seems to all be coming together now!

Oh, my doctor also said she saw no point of me seeing a therapist and that informed consent would be just fine for me.

Congats man thats awesome! I didnt know that it was possible to get consent without therapy, Is this in the US?

Robert Scott

Yes you can get T without therapy ... its called informed consent.  I have been seeing my doctor for about 7 years and often times multiple times in a year ... so we agreed she knows me better than any therapist would.  I got a copy of an informed consent form from some place in Chicago .. showed it to her and she was good with that.


I also started using the guys bathrooms this weekend when we were out shopping. 

Plus I told several of my good friends I am trans --- I feel so energized by it all.

Thanks all for the comments ... I am excited
