Where Are You In Your Transition?

[Guest Jonah]

The way I'm viewing the poll, it says 38 votes were cast but all I see are 1 for the top, 2 for the second choice, and my own one for the second to bottom.

I've been on testosterone for a couple of years and everybody I meet for the for the first time sees me as the guy I am; but some family and really old acquantances still use feminine pronouns... I don't care. No plans for GRS ever.

Well, part time since march 09. I go out a lot lately to museums ( enjoy art and work in a museum), restuarants, the beach just about any where. out mostly at work my manager knows as well as most co -workers. I have just recently changed my name and gender marker on my drives license but have to do SS this week. Some of my co-workers have started using my new name. others maybe never. I went to HR when I got my name change and no one there would talk to me , but they did change my pay check and other things. The only problem now is my health insurance card . I still have my old one with my male name. I have called the insurance company and they blame HR for not notifying them Hr says they have told them and If I have any trouble I should call the women(in Hr) and talk to her. I'm just waiting until after the holidays and I'm going to tell them the truth. My facial hair is mostly gone I go for clean up once a month for a half and hour. When I try to pass as a guy I look of like a butch lesbian or as a guy in transition I don't know what people are thinking when they see me. I get laughed at by men sometimes. I don't know.

Problems : My wife /partner who knew I was trans when we met years ago in a gay bar. I had very little facial hair, boobs and long hair from a previous transition gone bad is not really on board . She says that I'm a very very female man but a man most of the time than other times she seems just fine and buys me clothing goes to the beach with me. She likes that I'm on HRT and says I a much nicer person but thinks I'm going to leave her for a man. There have been a lot of men in my past.

Sorry for the confusion. I asked the moderators to reset the poll to make the choices clearer (people were getting confused). Although a few member's input was lost, I am thinking the overall survey will be more accurate now.

OK, I have a little info about the "missing ballots", no conspiracy here, no hanging chads, no misaligned boxes - just to change the description it blanks out the data - so I saved it first - here it is:

1) 7

2) 5

3) 9

4) 5

5) 8

6) 0

Add those in and it reads:

1) 9

2) 7

3) 10

4) 5

5) 9

6) 0

There you have it - mystery solved by the Moderator who reset the poll.

Love ya,

I selected "Actually experiencing recognized Real Life Experience (RLE), living and presenting full time in your chosen gender " but it's not exactly true: my RLE isn't recognized as I haven't been to a gender therapist in years. I'm just living full-time because after doing it part-time I realized there's nothing stopping me from doing it full time so I just did.

Blossom......

Since your poll didn't allow multiple answers I put down.."HRT"

But!

-Actually received your letter for or have undergone Sexual Reassignment Surgery (SRS)

I DO have my SRS letter neatly folded in a file (made 8 copies...lol) and just waiting for the day that I'm ready to go...

I'm REALLY looking forward to that day....I'm not fearful of major surgery (had both of my hips replaced in 1986...) So, I'm chompin' at the bits!
