Title: A Non-Binary Happy E-Day to Me
Post by: BreeD on March 14, 2016, 12:51:19 PM
I have been attending about 6 months now of therapy and I think I finally realize my therapist can't tell me who I am.  I am the only one that can do that. This likely seems obvious to many, but sometimes the most obvious things in our life are the hardest to grasp. 

I made an appointment to see my GP and we decided to start very low-dose E, so today is the first patch application.  The dose is so low, I keep reading people say it won't do anything, but I am not looking to transition, just feel better with me...more at home and am overly happy to start too low and ramp up as needed. 

I am an odd mix of excited, scared, nervous, anxious...the list goes on and on, but this is, looking back something I have always wanted to at least try.  So here is to giving it a go! 

If you have any advice or words of encouragement I would love to hear them.  Your words have been such a help through all of this journey.

I know a good number of non-binary people who have found low-dose E very helpful.

I've also known a couple who have decided the full journey toward womanhood is for them. (That's not a bad thing. I love living as a woman even though I'm non-binary).

I've always imagined what being on E would be like. By watching how women act, I've always pictured it as this wonderful loving feeling where accepting people and life comes naturally. I also knew that was totally unrealistic.

I was wrong. That's exactly how it feels.
