Confirmation


Guest Ree

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone :)

Just finished my first GT appointment.

She was sooooo awesome!

Even before we started she asked for my true name *WOW* she said Rachael is very pretty :)

I cannot believe in such a short time *1 1/2 hrs* you can talk about so much. *giggles*

She said and I quote "Your history and how you present are a classic case of Transgendered individual" OMG

She also remarked that my voice will be easy to fix as I seem to be a tenor naturally *big smiles*

I was stunned, she had an amazing way of getting me to open up about so many things in my past. *hand over mouth*

My next appointment is July 19th, and Then August 5th. I get to take my wife with me to the August 5th one, as my GT wants to me her.

So she said that I can tell others slowly *I know everyone was right* *sigh*

But she said everyone has to go through the stages on their own time schedule, so to take my time telling people.

She said my self acceptance is very good, and that it will help me to grow more each day.

*lol* She even said being Transgendered is no easy thing, but that I seem to have a good grasp on being my true self.

So that's a FANTASTIC CONFIRMATION!!!!

I AM REE *me*

Love to all

(((((((((HUGS)))))))))

Congratulations Ree!

You make my heat dance for you!!

Good luck luck with telling your father but after the day you had today you should be well fortified for the task!

You may not remember but when you first shared your story you helped me share a part of mine so you will always have a special place in my heart!

Awesome, Ree! Having someone outside of yourself confirm what you know is a lovely thing. I am very happy for you and honestly know exactly how you feel, which is wonderful.

My heart was in the right place but that pesky little "r" wandered off someplace -I guess he couldn't take the "heat"

Groan -I think I need to get some sleep

But thanks for telling me that Ree-it means a lot!

Love

Wonderful honey

Now all you have to do is be honest with your therapist and follow what she says to the best of your ability. ;)

You're going to be just fine. :D

Sweet Ree,

Getting confirmation of your feelings and beliefs about yourself from a therapist can be a wonderful affirmation. If you think your happiness is "over the moon" right now, just wait until you meet the many very sympathetic medical professionals out there waiting to help you.

It truly will make you cry with joy.

I am so very happy for you. Welcome to the "getting your life back" part of your life.... :)

Warm hugs of encouragement for you, dear girlfriend.

Love,

Becky

How did it go with your dad? I haven't seen anything from you. I hope all is well and he accepted you for the beautiful girl you are. If you need to talk we are here for you.

I'm curious myself, Ree....

*SIGH*

I haven't been able to get a hold of him yet, I guess he must spend his weekends out at the lake and they don't have cell phone coverage. Hopefully I'll be able to reach him tomorrow.

I have come out to my oldest and youngest step daughters.

The oldest one is getting married on July 24th for the first time, so she wasn't really able to talk much.

But my youngest *she is 20* living with a 42 yrs old *oy vey* just laughed, and said "ok, so you want to be a woman huh. Congratulations!, well I am going to start watching a movie with my boyfriend talk to you later".

So I am slowly coming out to family. One at a time.

Love to all

Ree

Way to go Ree! Your GT sounds like an awesome woman. I know mine is. Seems you're on the right road with her. Even after your first visit it looks like she has made you as happy as any girl can get.

And I do have to agree with her on one thing. Rachael is a pretty name. :D heehee LOL

Well, girlfriends :)

I have now come out to my step mother,

This is what she said: "You have always been a kind and loving person, I will love you no matter what you look like."

*I was very shocked actually*

So she is going tell my Dad to call me when he gets home from work. *now that is something I am very worried about*.

I have no idea what he is going to say, especially, that I am not keeping my name at all.

Love to all

Ree

I am happy that your step mom is accepting of you. :D That should help with your dad. I hope your dad is as accepting of you. Let us know how it goes when he calls.

      Decided I am going to my boyfriend's family get together tommorrow.He has family members that have not met me yet and do know about me.

      April, that is def good advice. I have had some really bad experiences with a therapist in the past. She way violated my trust. That caused a massive amount of damage to every corner of my life. Truthfully, because of that i have alot of deep seeded trust issues. I'm not sure i could ever go back to therapy. You are of coarse right, therapy would help, suppose its a matter of finding the right one and learning how to trust again.

      I look for purses with a shoulder strop that goes across the body. I also like many pockets. But one purse is not enough. I like purses that are artistic and make a statement about my personality. It doesn't have to be flamboyant, but matches my character. I also need a purse when I want to blend in and not be noticed so easily. One that won't draw attention to me when I don't desire it.

      I hadn't thought of a hat! The dress is really comfortable.

      What if a social media platform giant, (we all know its name) on devices we own, is held responsible for creating rules to intentionally target our community? for political reasons?

      Well just got back back from a visit to our oldest and family. It was nice having my granddaughter snuggle up to me on the couch. Gave me a big hug when we went over yesterday. Spent all day yesterday with them.  I envy my granddaughter, being able to grow up a girl. Something I wish I got to do.    Hugs, Kymmie

      Wow.  Sounds terrible.  Stay safe yourself.

      I hope our members from the Mid-South are doing OK today.  A lot of places had a real disaster overnight.  Tornadoes dropped all over, through Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, and Tennessee.  Lots of damage, and many people missing.  Pray for those involved, and that there won't be another wave of it tonight.   My county was spared almost all of it, but a neighboring county was hit hard.  Our Defense personnel were mobilized this morning to assist with access control, because all their local LEOs are needed for search and rescue.  No idea of how many are injured and missing, but there have been several deaths.  We may not know for weeks.  Rural areas here have a lot of shacks and trailer houses, and most people were asleep because it hit at the worst time - early morning on a Sunday during a holiday weekend.  Tornado hit a retirement home, and lots of elderly folks were hurt bad.  There was no forecast for this, and little if any warning.      Electrical outage is widespread, and it has been followed by a really hot, humid day.  Heat index is around 115 - it's killer heat.  I went out with my husband this morning, since everybody with a CDL was needed for a convoy.  I'm back home now, since I only got a couple of hours of sleep last night.  He'll probably be there overnight, and GF is there also helping with mechanical issues.  They've converted a big Baptist church into a community shelter for people who have lost their homes, and set up a generator and AC.  I'll probably go back tomorrow to help some more, as they're working on setting up a kitchen...nobody wants to eat MRE's forever.    They're getting no help from the state at all yet.  Governor didn't bother to declare an emergency until this afternoon!   The National Guard hasn't been activated either.  If it wasn't for Defense personnel, there'd be gawkers and looters. Its ridiculous, like only the cities matter.  Two rural towns literally no longer exist - its like a bulldozer a half-mile wide went through.  I've seen tornado damage before, but this is the worst.  Its just heartbreaking to look at it.

      You are absolutely experiencing the same thing many, if not most, of us have faced...and still face.    The best thing I did was to find a therapist skilled in gender issues. She's been a life saver (and we work entirely on-line). And, for me, it also has made sense to move ahead slowly and in synch with my wife.    Just know that you have people here willing to listen and help, as you need it.
