Happy, happy, joy, joy and all that!
I had my second appointment with the gender specialist today (3 months after the first) and I have a confirmed diagnosis and a referral to the endocrinologist. I am officially a girl!
I am only slightly jumping around like a mad thing.

Way to go Rosie. If that avatar photo is really you I could have made that diagnosis with one eye shut, of course you are a girl! :)

Happy happy joy joy! I'll be hopping on my arse just for you!! ;D
I wish you all success. It's so affirming to know that you're not crazy after all, but just need some balancing hormones!

Congrats! I know how hard it is to jump over all the hurdles the U.K. puts in your way before receiving HRT so this must feel simply marvelous! I am so happy for you!

I thought I ought to update the thread to say tomorrow is the day when I see the endocrinologist. Given this is being done through the NHS I think a 2 month interval may be a record.
Just in case anyone else in the UK is taking the same route I will share a bit of what I learned. The referral letter from the specialists secretary disappeared somewhere en route to the endocrinologist's secretary. I found this after making polite enquiries with both secretaries. The specialists secretary faxed (!) tye referral to the endocrinologist's secretary who told me to call back if I hadn't received a letter by the first week in August. I hadn't so I rang back and found out that a booking had not been made so one was made for a little under a week in the future. I feel that remaining calm and polite throughout smoothed the way a bit and would like urge anyone else in a similar situation to do likewise. In any large organisation things go astray and the person you are talking to is very unlikely to have had any say in the processes that caused it. You need to get paid a lot of money before you are allowed to invent lacklustre processes

One of the drawbacks to socialism is that no one has any incentive to excel. Worked real well for the old Soviet union, huh?
