Title: One more "First Night!" post

So today I had my first appointment with a therapist. It was basically a 20-questions thing so my soon-to-be-assigned-counselor has a platform to work from. The "screener" (for lack of a better term) asked me a ton of gender-related things and even delved a little into the realities of transitioning. Hard to believe that after two and a half years on Susan's that I'd finally be doing this. Just taking the first step today has made me happier than I've been in a really long time, and hopefully I can stay that way.

Great going, Nathan. For me, that first session was soooo hard, but so liberating. I am excited for you.
