so, my packing here in NC has started. A house in OKC has been secured and my house here has been scheduled for rental through an agency. I have told close friends why I am leaving and they are all supportive.
I have a bit of a supportive group in OKC as well as phone numbers and email addresses of groups and doctors.
I am so excited to begin my journey, but that excitement also has my mind wandering all over. I don't have clear knowledge of what I should be doing or in what direction I should be going. It seems I want to be doing everything at once.
Is there a defined path in which I should take? I'm being rather aggressive in preparing and trying to learn and I want that to continue on, but neither do I want to be hastey. What's the best way to go about this?
Any input will be greatly appreciated.^^

No defined route. Most doctors will require a therapist recommendation before prescribing T. All surgeons will require one as well. So probably therapist first would be your best bet. And use the support groups - they usually have more up to date resources than even people who work in the field.

Thanks Dennnis. I think I might have a therapist in place. I just need to get moved ; ; That's going to take a few weeks though.

Hey Fayde,
Nothing wrong with aggressive research. That is the best way to learn. Dennis is right, the theripist comes first, and than deprnding on how convincing you are towanrd your desire to become who you are will determine how long before you may begin T and be on your way. Good luck with the move.
