So, for a good while now I've been seeing a gender therapist who specializes in gender Dysphoria. So far it's gone well, I'm hoping the rest goes well too but, the big thing I wanted to point out today is, I was finally diagnosed with gender Dysphoria! (Which I already knew anyway) Not only that but, I even got a carry letter which I can use for the bathroom if any problems ever come up!
I was so excited and happy and more so while and after reading the carry letter, heck, I even hugged the lucky letter.
(Shana-chan doesn't give out many hugs after all, so, must be the letter's lucky day.
) Also, I'll soon get referrals to a hormone specialist and hair removal specialist and any other ones I need referrals too she said.
She'd have given them to me that day but, we were out of time and she was kind enough to extend the session and give me the carry letter.
Not only that but, on my way home from the therapist, on the same day I received the carry letter & diagnosis, I went to the new manager at my apartments and their new office staff using my female voice and passed. Got ma'am'd, a Ms. here or there and, also told the new manager I was transgender and what that actually meant as there's a lot of misinformation out there on it. I was really surprised by her reactions and when she told me she's had other tenants in other apartments (Different area ones from mine), come out to her like I did, well, that made me happy but more so was her next reaction that without me even needing to ask, she asked me what she and others should call me and I told her female pronouns and *Insert female name here* but I also told her before all that was said (Including her question there) that I was planning to change my name legally in the near future and she gave me some advice for what she'll need me to do paper work/lease renewal wise once I get my name legally changed. She told me with a week max all the office staff and maintenance personal and other personal will know how to address me and such and should do so.
This has been the highlight of my week so far and while it's true I've had some really crappy days this week, I'm just finally happy things are at least moving forward even if only a little. I don't know how or IF I'll be able to afford the hormones and blockers and laser/electro and anything else I may need but, I know what I want in life and for the first time in my life, have goals and real dreams for job'(s) I want to do for my life and am happy about this all.
