I had a nice visit with a new therapist in Huntsville, Al. She is very experienced & all went well, moderate cost & she will gladly write my letter for HRT on our third session. She had around 25 MTF clients in her area & all seem to be doing well, several have moved well past GRS & are enjoying normal lives. I'm am very happy with her. Oh yea I hit the goldmine at their local Goodwill Store, loaded with size 10 shoes, new 4 inch pumps look & feel marvelous!

Just need to vent some girl friends.
I am more optimist that I've ever been that within a year or so maybe I can finally have a normal body. I will finally have a body that I am proud of, to take care of & to enjoy life fully as a normal woman that loves to be with normal men. I know it will take time & need to just chill out & go slow however for me I have always just needed to be a 100% normal girl and or now a woman.
Thanks for all the support & advise from everyone. I gave this therapist a lot of information about Susan's Place. She had never heard of it. I let her know this was the best possible support group from real quality honest good people facing the issues & concerns with change of gender. She was going to look into it & pass it to her clients.
Please have a very nice day, all girl friends.

Francis,
It is so great to read that your moving forward.
For many of use the journey has many stalls, stops and new starts.
Hope yours will continue moving forward until you have completed your transition.
Oh and I work for a Goodwill. Yes, they have some fantastic stuff and a good prices too.
I have bought allot of my clothing from them. Often the item look new and sometimes they still have the original price tags on them.
Sorry for the ad..
Francis keep venting.
I will help you in many ways.
Hugs,
Jillieann

Jillieann,
Cool first name & cool you work at Goodwill.
For me frustrated right now. it's only about the 100th time in my life I tried to correct my body/gender. As you know there so much to do to change a human body over, it's almost impossible task so late in life. My mother wanted & took me to several shrinks when I was maybe 10-12-14 years old, she & I knew I was a girl but in those days nothing anyone could do but talk, talk, talk. I just hid desires, saved my poor mother/her $ & made do. Wish some magic pill I/we could all take but only in my dreams.
Thanks for a hug & some support. My best to you.

Francis,
Late? I stared hrt in my late 50's.
I too had lots of trips to the doctor's office.
My memories at 5 are of a scary man.
I think that I may have had both male and female parts, but not sure.
But I did not remember most of them until I started therapy.
And they still are slowly coming.
Yesterday I remember that my mom used to brush the snarls out of my long hair.
I must have been 3 or 4. And then that around 6 my dad took me to the barber shop to get a flat top.
:'(
It was the man thing to do he said.
Anyway this is my second attempt. First time my family upset me so from their reactions that I quit for a few years.
But no more. I was so miserable after I quit I just wanted to die.
I sure you can do it this time hon.
Hugs
Jillieann

To all girl friends. I promise to stop complaning.
I'm going to take the best possible HRT the rest of my days & just let happen whatever happens. I may become a normal woman one day or I may not be at least I will feel good & be as feminine & normal as medically humanly possible.

I must really want a nice 100% feminine body in the not too far future. Purchased expensive Chantix today to stop smoking so I can take HRT. Just LOVE a cup of coffee & a cigarette in the mornings for 20 years! This will not be easy but I can do it I guess/hope. Really stupid to do it I know but addicted to this drug. Smoke ultra light one pack a day. Always told myself it would not hurt me. But fooling myself, it's stupid to smoke anything.

Jillieann, I know you mean well but please do not post this type stuff "I know you can do it"
Good luck you way. Just no need for post. I'm OK.
