She really loves it, especially the purse and jewelry. She said "how did you know I was looking for bags and thinking about jewelry? I didn't even tell you about that yet!" so I could answer "I didn't know, the ladies on this forum did."
And I gave her the link so she can have a look. Who knows, she might sign up as well :)

Thanks everyone for your great suggestions!

That is so awesome! I'm glad that she liked it.

Belle, I can't express how happy your gift makes me feel.

Thankyou for making my day

So yesterday I had an appointment to meet my gender affirming doctor.

I had my bp taken before I went in and it was 160 over 100.

It hasn't been that high since I had my double bypass.

Obviously I was anxious.

The doctor was pretty friendly. Quite matter of fact asking questions, explaining things that a lot of people here have already explained to me before.

She started asking questions and I pulled out my medical file of everything I've been through in the last 4 years and I could see the excitement in her eyes because it simplifies things.

She asked questions about what I want and I said I just want to know if E is for me. I don't know exactly who I am despite everything I am experiencing heads towards trans.

I added I have been deeply in euphoria for a while but I have a relationship I can't lose.

She asked about my gender issues growing up... blah blah blah, my burrying it, and I said that I know it never goes away.

She just agreed.

And then all of a sudden she gave me a referral for a blood test, saying that despite all the information I gave her she needs a baseline.

AND WOW, I got up to leave and she had these bright wide open eyes and she said  " I'm so excited"

Oh, I forgot, she went through the list of E ingestion types, ruled a listed through everything all the girls here have suggested, leaving patches and gel.

She started explaining gel and I said there is a bottle of gel at home that my wife has been using.

Soooo......

PS
I checked my bp this afternoon
125/75.  Phew

That sentence says everything!

All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players.

Out to self since March 5, 2026. My wife knows it all since June 23.
Integration ongoing. I'll cross the transition bridge when I get to it.

This is so amazing! Thank you for sharing this, it is of a "faith in humanity restored" quality.

Honestly, this is how every single doctor, no every single PERSON, should be reacting to the news that someone is finally discovering themselves and getting the courage to live their best life.

You can be very proud of yourself. Well done!

Totally agree. hugs
