It's been one year today that I did two things that have changed my life for the better.  I knew what I was about to do that afternoon would eventually lead to an upheaval inside my family, and cost me friends.  But, that didn't matter a year ago because if I didn't change my life I was going to die.  And so:

1. I accepted my remaining a man was no longer acceptable, and change was inevitable.
2. I decided the estrogen cream I got without a prescription had to be used, and began three months of very unwise estrogen self medication.

I don't condone my self medication and I don't include it in my ticker because of plain old shame.  But I do remember this day.  After one year I can't believe how happy I am, and how open my life has become. 
Hiding?  Never again. 
Moving along cautiously?  Of course. 
Wishing I had never been born this way?  Every day, but no longer a lost soul. 

Love, Kathy

Congratulations, hon! Hugs, Devlyn

Thanks girls.  I'm amazed at how much turmoil has passed in this time, and how little that all means to me now.  Hell, a few months ago I was one screwed up woman, and all of you were right when I vented or broke down.  It really did get better.
