Gender therapy to seek out clarification as needed makes sense to me.

I simply want be a good person who lives out her life as a responsible woman.
I try to do that each day.  I try to be kind and understanding. 

Some days are better or worse than others but that is part of life.

I have bitsy breasts and thus often don't bother with an undergarment, but when I do wear a sports bra, I look so much neater.

The quality of your marriage and the quality of your friends are telling. Their good energy comes from your goodness.

Awfully nice of you to say, and greatly appreciated. I do think it really speaks to the character of those I've been lucky enough to surround myself at least as much, though.

Regardless, the bottom line is I know how very lucky I am and do not for one moment take it for granted.   

Well


The weekend is here. I am off to my cycling event which is Sunday. I am grabbing a pasta dinner w/ my youngest in Manhattan tonight. Tomorrow is in-person credentialing and pre-event carbs. Sunday I will be lined up on the George Washington Bridge for a 7 am start. Yeah, I am gonna get up mad stupid early (and frankly, it messes up the times I change patches and take spiro. its the trans life on that.)

My mentor/riding friend/security blanket is a last minute scratch. I am a gonna hitch up my big girl panties and get it done. She and I had a long call last night, to go over the my weekend and ride. I have a plan and its all about following the plan. Plus my legs. I have good legs.

Seriously-- I feel a nervous respect for the course. I am under-trained on hills. Group ride dynamics, a high speed descent, and a technical descent have my attention. Bitches get stuff done.

and on that.. I am off. Enjoy the weekend one and all.

I am glad to know you are seeing a therapist. It is difficult to do all of this totally on your own. The members here are very helpful, but you really need someone on the ground to help you navigate. As a retired hypnotherapist, I understand the value of having that help.

In my own story, I sought therapy for totally different reasons and at first rejected my diagnosis. I then spent two years with my therapist learning and trying to understand what it all meant. There is so much wrong information out there. As I learned what it means to be transgender, I began to see that the psychologist was correct in his diagnosis, and I accepted that this is who I am. Since that time, my therapy has focused on the obstacles I face in transitioning, and how to overcome them or handle those that I cannot.

I wish you all the best in your journey.
