Title: How's this sound for a start
Post by: justchillin on June 28, 2013, 10:35:59 PM
I feel like besides the mental parts of femininity I have done all i can do (without starting hrt) in order to transition. So my plain was to change my primary care physician, and get the ball rolling with trying to get on hormones or at least see my options. I was wondering how does that sound for a semi first step. I have already had several therapy sessions with a sex therapist (had to stop because I lost my job).

It sounds like a step. I guess that's a fairly typical first step, you start asking more physicians and finding the right people for you.

Hormones is a critical starting point
Can't really transition with out it

Technically you don't have tk be full time anything for
Hormones...just be s self identifier.

It helps the doctor see you're serious though. :) So it's something that's really beneficial imo.

Really? I'm pretty sure there are some around Susan's who have done just that for a variety of reasons.
