I just wanted to tell some people about the changes that have happened to me in the last few weeks.
I moved to a new hall in my dorm, because I was uncomfortable being the only guy in the girls hall, so now I have a room all to myself on a co-ed floor, AND the school officials are aware of my situation and eager to help me.
I go by Elijah in all of my classes except for one (a larger lecture class)
I have done 3 gender therapy sessions.
I started going to pride, and made a bunch of friends who all call me HE, I also made a bunch of awesome geeky guy friends (I love geeky guys) to hang with and they also al call me HE.
My supportive friend has convinced one of her friends to call me HE (she wouldn't do it before)
A guy is interested in me.... :) and he is totally supportive, I even confided in him when I felt dysphoric.
AND, my mom often calls me Elijah when I call her on the phone.
lots of awesome stuff? yes.
Thats great man, congrats!
Congrats Elijah, those are all really big steps. You must be so relieved that it's going so well. :)
Congrats! Total awesomeness. :D Yay for positive changes!
I'm so jealous. You have so many awesome things going on bud, enjoy it!!

Congrats Bro.
Everything always falls into place.
This is awesome news.
In fact some of this stuff has been happening to me too.
Yesterday I hooked up with a guy I'd known for a while and he had no problem seeing me as male and is easy to talk to, even about dysphoria etc. It's not a relationship type thing but its still pretty great!
Also I have my psychologist appointment next wednesday, hopefully I will then get my referral to the GIC :)
I too have met a group of people who are happy to call me by male pronouns and it is so nice being around them.
So things are looking up for me too. Go us ;D
Good to see things are moving for you as well. Let us know how your psych appointment goes- I'm still waiting for a date for mine
good for you man. seems like things are falling into place for you
I'm glad things are coming around for you. :icon_clap:
How has it been going with your therapist?

he is a pretty cool guy, I feel like I can confide in him. He has a lot of experience with FTM's too
