Well it happened today, was in almost every sense of the word, perfect!
He's (therapist) the best therapist I've ever seen, professional, not to pricey, and best of all...
I got a letter to start testosterone blockers! First session! I practically skipped my way home :angel:
Just felt I had to share, sooo happy right now! ;D
;)
Jessie, new here and would be interested in knowing how they are working. I am debating about how to tell my doctor that I really do not like my masculine appearance and let him know that I am interested in more than crossdressing.
Well, they're working?
I mean, my skin is less oily, hair takes a little more time to grow back after shaving but, not much else that I've seen. But I'd talk to your doc., everyone's body is different :P
First session with the NHS psychiatrist tomorrow morning. Wish me luck.

I didn't get much sleep last night worrying about my meeting with the psychiatrist today. I shouldn't have been so silly as everything went swimmingly. ;D
The meeting was to assess that I was not having any psychological issues and that my decision to transition was not a symptom of mental illness. They also asked if I had any eating disorders or self harm issues. Which I don't.
The psychiatrist is happy that my transition to transition is a deep seated issue and is writing a letter to my GP for transition to begin in earnest. Big Big broad smile on my face ;D
Got my letter from the pychiatrist today. I'm not mad and she sees no reason why I cannot transition ;D.
Next its back to the Doctors and onto the next stage, referral to a gender clinic ;D
Another big step taken. I now feel I am truly on my way.
