Susan's Place Transgender Resources

So after a lifetime of knowing I was put together differently, I finally had an appointment with a proper gender therapist.
While I was scared as heck, within 30 minutes I was in and out holding a script for E. Still in a bit of shock.
My doctor and therapist had sent him details so it was much easier than I had feared.

In the morning I will get the script filled and be on my way.
All the anxiety has disappeared and I feel like the sleeper has awakened.

He did mention the effects it would have
softer skin
Breast growth
Loss of muscle mass
etc
All things that I was already aware of thanks to everyone here.

All part of the E ticket ride.

Now I can go on that fantasyland ride

Thanks everyone.

Now you have me worried, Cindy.  Is this actually the case?  I think my wife is pretty - I don't want HRT to turn me on to guys.  (Or maybe I do, but I just don't know it...)

I was joking.

Sexual preference may be reinforced but not changed. I liked guys before but didn't identify as Gay so I didn't know what to do. Now that I have accepted my feminine privilege, my like of guys  as partners makes sense to me and I'm very comfortable with that at every level.

So no your desire for your wife will remain intact and I hope you both enjoy exploring new ways of being in love!

Congrats Jenny!  40 years?  That's quite the gatekeeper, lol.   ;)

Thanks everyone
;D ;D ;D

Congratulations, hon! Hugs, Devlyn

Congrats, things get better from here on out. Ahh!!!! It does, just there might be a few road bumps on the way..

Hugs

Yahoo Jenny!  That is dramatic progress and, from what I recall, an amazing sense of relief.  I also posted, facetiously, the next day that my boobs had not yet grown.  He he he

We will be looking forward to future posts about your progress with that E ticket and cookies for fuel.

No doubt, you are knowledgable and well prepared for the best ride in town, YOURS!

Hugs and huge smiles

Congrats! You're now one step closer to being the real you :D

Thanks everyone, your support is so wonderful and appreciated.

This is going to be heck of a ride and I am now so looking forward to it ;D
Something I have know I had to do all my life, just like us all.

After less than a week I feel so much more at ease with myself and sexuality it is wonderful.
So much happier as well which is fantastic.

I am now looking forward to the future for the first time in my life.
Can't wait to see the endo for the next visit in four weeks, I really want to go full gas after thinking about it since last week based on how I now feel.

Love your cookies Devlyn, they look so T and A. :D

Hugs to all, Jen

The sexuality would have nothing to do with all those sailors that have been in Sydney the last few days? >:-) >:-)

You could have come over for the weekend and joined the fun.

You really need to show me how to be  >:-) >:-)
I am willing to learn. :D

Catherine told me to just wave and say 'Hello sailor'

Well done Jenny, great things ahead!

I agree 100% with Joules.

Now you've just started your wonderful journey into womanhood, like I have.  :)

*hug* Same boat here, but mine will be departing in January... I look forward to reading your posts about the experience!  :)

So far I have not been disappointed.

Things are definitely afoot!
Been a bit sick as the body reacts, headache and feeling odd.
The chest starts with an itch and now a little more. ;)
E is amazing stuff. ;D

Have made a follow up appointment for next month, so lets see what happens.
I would like to get off the low dose and onto AA's as well.

Jen

I had to take the day off today and decided to go back and see my GP who has been so very helpful.
OMG what a difference was her comment to me as she really could see just how much things have changed in only a month since I last saw her.
All the stress and anxiety has gone and I am at peace with myself. All from a little tablet?
So much calmer and happier as well.

I mentioned to her how quickly things happened and she reassured me that it was due to sending me to the right person as I did leave it up to her judgment in the first place. Seems like a very wise move looking back at it now.
I was a bit sick to start with as a reaction for the first week as my body adjusted but I was reassured that this was normal.
Small steps as I hope to get an increased dose of E at my next Endo appointment and T blockers as well.
It seems so much now to look forward to instead of just being miserable every day.

Why did I wait so long to do this? Fear and denial I suppose like us all.
Anyway I feel so much happier now the E has kicked in and look forward the "Him" slowly receding.

I wish it could be so easy for others here and you didn't have to wait years or have to face the Spanish inquisition but this is Oz.

Take care all

A very happy Jenny.

Jenny, very good for you & it is so pleasant to see a young girl move forward. I'm sure it has been one long struggle in life. I've been there & done that as they say. You should feel better & better each day as the T goes away & the E is pleasantly used by your body. Mentally you also feel better & more confident.

My sincere best to you.

Francis

Great news Jenny! I wonder if we a destined to bump into each other in Dr H's waiting room... or if we haven't already!!!

I'm sure we might. I will be the one with the big smile! ;D

You can't miss me :D

We would ask that you report on your various cookies after 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 4 months,...well you get the idea.  :D
