Hi Marcie!
Last week was a very big week for me. I came out to everyone including FB. I was so stressed about it but it turned out I was stressed over nothing. Much to my amazement, everyone was so positive. Next week I start electrolysis and feminine voice therapy. Next month marks 1 year on HRT and I will be meeting with my therapist to begin my RLE and start the process for GCS. I am soooo happy and alive. Oh yes, I finally found my perfect bra lol. I still have another year to go before completion, if that is possible. I mean there is always FFS, breast augmentation surgery etc... It's a long road Marcie and for me a very rewarding one. I hope you fine the road very rewarding too. A quick note to Doreen, I love your profile photo girl. I think all of us at one time or another fine ourselves walking on egg shells  .

Oh Donica THANKS!  It is a rewarding road but as you know also filled with potholes.  I am just a year old with this and so many steps yet to go...But I know it is the only road I can tread- thanks for the good wishes.  I wish you nothing but smooth sailing, I cannot wait for each move toward becoming more like me!  I love finding new underthings that fit!  The right bra! AMAZING day!!

Love and hugs, Marcie

I have VFS through Yeson Aug 1st; FMLA has been approved
...and I just received paperwork to file from a law firm/Advocacy group (for free) to change my legal name and gender - without having to announce it in the newspaper and to seal the record. I'm so excited!!

If anyone lives in Indiana and wants their info, feel free to message me.

Going full time in June. Finally attending events so now all my family has seen me. Finishing up my name change documents to get turned in. All happened at the same time.

With warmth,

Swimming in public with no hiding. A great fear beaten.

My most recent step is waiting.  I'm doing a lot of that. 

My doctor referred me to a psychiatrist for my second GRS letter back in September.  I called the shrink's office a couple of months ago to confirm I am still on the waiting list, and I am.  Naturally, trans folks who are stable are triaged well below people in crisis.  I just hope I am gradually moving up the list.

Also waiting for my two years of RLE so I can change my gender on my birth certificate.  Where I live, there is no provision for changing one's gender separately on government documents like driver's license or health card.  You have to change your birth certificate first.  So I wait.  One more year to go.

The most recent thing that was actually progress was my name change, which became official a year ago Tuesday.

Name and gender change documents are sent. Hurray! Just have to wait 2-3 months.

SRS done, 10th day post-op 

Only thing left is legal gender change which should happen within next 6 months.

Then things where I have to rely to shrinks is done and I can just forget them.

Laser hair removal will of course continue till who knows how long and I´m really on fence about trachea shave.

But major things are done, rest is just maintenance 

Congrats Dizz and Mendi!

WELL...

I allowed my wife to tell her one sister, you know the one that is a little different an=bout me...I was not there, but it will give my wife more support.  I feel totally weird about this.  This one I had no hand in.  Karen my wife said she is just confused, well duh!  I hope my sister-in-law will now talk to me about this and learn! And most of all accept me for who I am.. Thoughts, and prayers accepted...this is my NEXT STEP!  Keep up the good work Ladies!


Love and Hugs Marcie

A huge step in coming out, Marcie!  I found that once the second level revelations start, there is nothing left to leave closeted...not that we should have ever had to closet ourselves.  Well, congrats!

My most recent step was cross dressing complete with padded and bra and fillers and I felt great! Can't wait to do it again but I feel like some things missing in the mean time. The only thing stopping me now is that I'll have to come out to my siblings before I can dress more regularly.

Thanks!  This one was harder than even telling my immediate family I had to do that...this feels like a choice, and opening Pandoras box!

Marse,
   It is so hard to have no control over an event. I hope this is good for both of you. You know where to find me if you need to. Hugs

Got my last eligard injection. Sitting solidly at castrate levels, filled in all the paper work and the boys are out on August 23

I had my packing and catheter removed today

That first dilation was an interesting experience after having several feet of packing taken out.

Oh, fun!  Good for you!  It's like being released on your own recognizance when those two things are removed.

Being able to sleep any way but on my back is an amazing thing for sure.

The whole time that my surgeon was pulling packing he was joking around saying "I don't remember putting this much in there". It's amazing how much he managed to jam in there.

Got my first full lace wig. Pricey but worth it.

OH MONI!  Love you!!!

Emotionally dealing with changes, thinking about my past and the current day to day reactions of others. I'm getting used to people looking at me I guess.
