Title: Officially transgender !
Post by: Emi on May 21, 2014, 07:00:53 AM
Hi !  ;)

Today I went to my second appointment with my therapist. We spoke during nearly 50 minutes instead of 30 about me, my feelings, my childhood etc...
She told me that, even if I still have questions about myself and my identity, my birth gender and the gender I would like to have don't match, and that it is not something that will pass away with puberty. Thinking I should have been different since preschool and such things show that I'm not cis. I'm now officially transgender ! My therapist told me we will speak more about how I could change and what way we will take on the next appointment, in one week.
I can't wait to continue ! I'm so happy I'm officially recognized by a specialist as transgender... x)

Always nice to have the "official seal of approval" on something you knew to be true anyway. Congrats and all the best for the way forward! :)

OMG Yes! I bet that made you smile. I know it did me. One of my happiest days, a couple of them, was when I looked down at my bill from both my Shrink and PCP and saw those initials "GID" under diagnosis.So re-affirming.

Yes it feels amazingly good to be finally considered as who you are really. I mean, currently, I didn't start transition yet due to various things in my life (kinda long to explain, I will do it in another post I think) but my therapist helps me a lot by saying that. She kind of kick started my transition. In the next months Ill may begin it !! I cant wait !!! :D

Emi, c'est une très bonne nouvelle - félicitatations!  Now go out and make sure that you are the master (mistress?) of your universe.   

Be brave; be yourself; pay no attention to the ignorant, or educate them if you can. 

Some people may try to make your life difficult, but be sure of this: they are the weak and insecure ones, and are jealous of your courage.

A huge hug from Madrid!!!
Julia

Muchas gracias de Francia  ;)

Thank you all who support me in all this. Actually, even only your support helps me a lot. As you said Julia, the weak and insecure ones are those who would make my life difficult (and I unfortunately know some, but I hope I'll be strong enough to "educate" them  :) )

Kisses to you all !  :-*
