Title: Well it looks like Sunny Days ahead! My therapist is on the ball. So is my endo!

  :o Well now, its amazing what can happen in just a week. I talked to my therapist again and we worked things out and she is willing to meet me where I am. I told her I had a great first appointment with this new Endocrinologist.

My endo agrees with the one i saw last year (who moved) and its for sure I am Intersex, that I have eithier Mild or Partial Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome. I won't know for sure which i have until I try AA's. If its partial the anti androgens won't respond very well. If its mild they will. However in the case of partial It could be that I would just need estrogen and maybe progesterone if i wanted.

So my therapist was glad to know I have a endo I can trust. My endo says she already has 2 transgender clients so thats good news, considering shes in a smallish town.

The good news is my therapist will write me a letter (LCSW) and that my endo will accept the letter. So I may be on the girl juice around Christmas Time!

More Good news is I have a Job and I will be ringing bells and singing songs for the Salvation Army!

I have a free health club membership now to the ymca via my client status at the local mhmr (mental health center). I have a free phone via my medicaid lifeline (cheap phone but free min)

So finally I feel like things are looking up. My therapist and my endo both understand that i still see myself as two spirited and obviously intersexed, but have decided to lean female, and see just how far I will lean to feel better.

On top of that I am getting some great responses from the voice acting community, stating I really have potential and need to not give up on being a voice over artist.

So I am not 100% sure how hrt will be for me and if it will make things worse or better. But I am giving it a chance, because I have to know for sure.  :angel:
