I got a copy of a letter to my GP today. It is from the local NHS trust giving the go ahead for the financing of my transition and SRS! ;D
The trust will fund below the waist surgery and where required, breast enhancement. They won't pay for facial surgery so I will have to pay for any tweaks myself.
Most annoying is their refusal to pay for speech therapy. At the moment, I think I pass OK visually (I don't get too many strange looks) but as soon as I open my mouth it is a dead give away and it is something that really gets me down. I was hoping for some help to feminise my voice.
So on to the next few hurdles of therapy, RLT etc.
Today, I am in a good mood. :)
Congrats girl!!! Btw their is tons of free videos on youtube on how to feminize your voice. I found them very helpful and simple. I think the girls name is CandyFLA or KandyFLA or Candi or Kandi etc lol
