Title: I am done!!!!
Post by: Robert Scott on August 18, 2011, 10:38:23 AM
I am done with being Robyn (female name) ---- I am done done done - no more half living in one world and half living in another.  I wish Robyn would disappear and never come back.  I am done with her!!!

This past weekend I celebrated my 40th birthday party with a camping trip with my friends and family.  I went by Robert the whole weekend long and used the men's restroom/shower area even when there were drunk college boys in there.  It was so empowering and so uplifting.  I don't want to retreat back to the half world of Robert.  So I am not going to anymore!

I have had my consultation for top surgery -- scheduling it in Dec when our office is closed for the holidays.  I am super excited to get my tumors removed.  The doctor took one look at mine and said - "yup your going to be easy to get approval from the insurance company"  Today I started my period for the last time ever - THANK GOD!!! 

I am so ready to be living my life completely as Robert - and screw my parents if they can't deal!

Congrats! You have just finished the hardest part IMHO of all this, making the decision to "Just do it" and not look back!

My child-abusing slimeball of a stepmother had a saying: "F*** 'em if they can't take a joke."  And then her and my dad abandoned me when I transitioned.  Who's laughing now? ;D

I love your attitude, Robert!  Congratulations on such a monumental step!  I hope you continue to find all the happiness and peace that you deserve.

Congrats man!  Like Stephe said, you have just done the hardest part.  And congrats on the scheduled surgery.  It is such a great feeling to wake up afterwards and see that nice flat chest!!!

Congrats, Robert.  From your pic you look like you pass completely.  Now being able to plan your top surgery must feel good too.  I hope this will be the last time you leak blood from below.  I sure wish I could be at your point in transitioning.
