So, a couple exciting things happened these past 7 days. Last Friday I was finally able to sit down with both my dad and step mom and talk about my transition plans. I hadn't spoken with my step mom about this before and they were both extremely supportive and just wanted to know what they could do to help me. I was honestly a little surprised by how positive and non judgmental their reactions were. Yesterday they told my siblings, I haven't been over to see how they took it yet, but now they know, so that's one less thing to worry about. And more excitingly, I went to the hormone clinic yesterday (conveniently the same place I go to see my therapist). It took forever to get in, and go through all the disclaimers and what not. And apparently my blood doesn't like to come out, but 3 people and 8 different needle pokes later I finally was able to give all that I needed. Just kind of waiting now, but much closer to actually starting now.
I've sort of constructed a brief timeline of my experiences so far, it's not all that long yet, but It's been a nice way to keep track of what I've done and when.
