Hey everyone, I'm gonna make this real quick before I have to take my computer literacy test. So, I just got off the phone with the intake coordinator at the Mazzoni Center, an LGBT health center in Philadelphia, and I was told that I am now on the waiting list to see a gender therapist!!! The wait should be about 2-3 weeks, but still, it's finally happening!

I'm so excited!

YAY, Natalie!

That's great news, hon. The only thing better would be the actual appointment. I hope it comes soon.

Sorry, I haven't had a chance to post an update. We're celebrating National Coming Out Week at my school and I've been really busy with that. But I actually start gender counseling TODAY!!! I can't even sleep I'm so excited about it. And I've heard from several resources that the place I'm going to (the Mazzoni Center) is absolutely amazing! I plan on updating you guys later today as to how my first session went.

Hugs

Natalie I am glad today is the day for you. Just be yourself and let them know everything. Don't hold anything back from them because that is the only way to truly know what you want and need.

I hope you session goes well. Let us know how it went.

Well, I had my session and it went over really well! My therapist was shocked at how much thought I have already put into my transition. I am now on a 12 week program that can be extended if it is mutually agreed that I need further care. And to think that this is happening on National Coming Out Week and the day after the Mayor of Phiadelphia raised the rainbow flag at city hall, marking the first time the rainbow flag has flown next to the American flag on a municipal building in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania just makes it even more reason to be excited.

Btw, here's the ACTUAL link to the Mazzoni Center (the one you provided DJ is just for the Philadelphia Trans-Health Conference and Mazzoni's role in it) http://www.mazzonicenter.org/

      Good morning everyone,   It was our first night with our European Boxer and it went well. We got up at 05:30 let him out of the cage and went directly outside to give him a chance to go potty. It has been raining for two days and nights so the grass is soaked and nearly up to his belly. I don’t think he’s ever been outside while it’s raining or wet. I had my rain jacket on and a big brimmed hat as well as rain boots, he just stayed at my feet no matter where we went in the yard. I took him to the previous locations where out daughter’s dog had gone poo, but he just sat at my feet. Once inside and drying him off with a towel. He took a poo right there. So I gathered up his mess, and took him and his poo outside. So right now it’s dog one, trainer zero. Now that the coffee is brewed and I have a cup, he’s chewing on a toy.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Strange that I awoke from a dream dreaming about "being able to pee standing up!"   I know that sounds strange from someone AMAB, but intersex issues have always prevented that.    I wonder what made me dream like that? That was a first! 🤔

      Morning y'all.    Nearly winter here, but it's a mild climate compared to what most of you experience. Even so, the best way to describe the mornings lately is...nipply! 😁

      What I don’t like about the dealer working on my car, yes the put the paper mats on the floor, but why don’t they remove them when they bring my car to me?  And why do they always mess with my radio settings and my electronic dashboard settings?  I get them the way I want them and they seem to want them at factory default.  Leave things like you find them!  Why is that so difficult?  And don’t tell me it’s because the updated the computer! Every time!.  And no I haven’t figured out everything yet on the new car.  I can’t even get my key programmed to move my seat when I get in and out.  It’s supposed to move the seat, the mirrors, the steering wheel and several other things.  My old Eddie Bauer was easy to program but then it only programmed seat location and pedal location.   ok now that we’ve had our rousing knock on cars and dealer mechanics.  What else shall we talk about?  Bras?  Seems like an appropriate subject for most of us.  I have several different types. Two are famous store push-up padded to are more common everyday lightly padded ant one is a no padding no strap slip and the last one is a front close longline no padding.  Now that one supports the theory that I am now a B cup on my own. I’d prefer a C but then I’m not so sure my blouses would still fit without pulling.  Ah the problem we have as women.  And sizes are never ever the same.  Oh I’m a size ??  But men I need a large shirt and 36-30 pants and they always fit.   we can’t buy anything off the rack with confidence it will fit and I hate having to take it home to try one and return what doesn’t fit.   we’ll time to do my hair and leave.   love ya   Willow
