Wow, things seem to happen quickly! I was less than 2 months ago that I posted about going to a health appointment wearing a skirt. I have since been to multiple appointments dressed feminine. I have come out to most of my neighbors and maintain relationships as always.
I have been attending weekly therapy sessions for over 5 years via video. I've just had two video meetings with a new therapist who offers in-person appointments. However, her office is an hour's drive away. During our last meeting she said she is relocating to the office about 10 minutes from my house. So just one more video meeting, then will be in-person appointments. We are both looking forward to meeting in-person!
Also, I have been open to all my doctors about my female desires. As I said above I've been attending health appointments dressed feminine. My health provider has all my records on-line available to all providers. My new therapist works for my provider with access to all my health information. One of the unique things they offer is to recognize you by other than your given name. I have been reluctant to share my feminine name, Coral, with them, and certainly did not want them calling out, "Coral" when ready for me.
That was when I was dressed male. On the encouragement and suggestion of my therapist, she changed my identity to now be "Coral". This makes a lot more sense since I now go and sit in the waiting room fully presenting as Coral. I'm excited for have them call, "Coral" at my next appointment in a couple weeks.
I'm also working with an esthetician who has extensive experience working with trans people. I expect to have a much better female presentation in a couple weeks. We spent nearly our entire 2-hour session trying different wigs to determine a feminine hair style. Next will be working on makeup. I'm excited! Can you tell??
Good times for all!
Coral
