Well today is the day i have my first meeting with my GT.

I'm nervous as hell even though i know this is just a formal introduction and a chance to see how things work and air a few ideas about how i wish to progress. Thankfully i have met her once before while i was talking to the clinics liason officer so that bit is ok:)

Am i doing the right thing.. what am i saying of course i am, i cant live as a man anymore that much is certain.I guess i'm just scared of what will happen in the future, my friends have already distanced themselves from me so if this goes bad i don't know what i'll do.

Must stay positive, i can do this.....i think.

Alisha you can do this becuase this is what is going to make you happy in the end. We are right here with you. Just know if you ever need to talk, we are here to listen and give you our own experiences with transition.

Good Luck today and just let her know how you truly feel. Don't hold anything back because that is what she is there for.

i agree with sarah. everyone deserves to be happy...and if this is what it takes then go for it! just go, answer and tell everything honestly, and know that this is really a step towards a positive direction. remember that your GT is there specifically FOR YOU. good luck!

Good Morning Alisha from here, you are probably already on your way there in the UK, by the time this post hits the board. I hope you and your GT "hit it off", I am sure it will be a positive experience for ya.

Well, i'm back from seeing my GT and i'm pleased to say it went ok.thank you all for your kind words..luv to you all.

Am now booked in for a regular weekly meeting with her, she seems such a nice friendly non-judgemental person.

Today was just a get to know each other kinda deal, i told her where i'm at and she went over how she works but it was still great to finally be in contact with someone i feel can really help me on my journey. Feeling positive about the future which is something i've not felt too often this last year and it feels great.

Just got to get work to let me have half a day off every week now, doubt they're going to be too happy about that especially as they don't know anything about this yet and i'm not ready to tell them. One day i will be confident enough to step out as Alisha full time, after today that is certain if still a long way off.

Glad to hear this Alisha !

I know that it just feels so fine to be able to finally speak with someone about GID issues. It's like a huge weight is being removed. I sense you are already beginning to feel this relief already. Thanks so much for sharing

Hugs

I am so...happy for you Alisha. Connecting with a GT is really important. I hope that the GT will get to know you enough to give you a recommendation letter. You have already taken the most important step to begin the process. I hope you have the courage to work on that and be the woman you were meant to be.

      If 9 out of 10 parts are ok, that doesn't mean I need to accept the bad parts (that are aimed directly at me).  That seems suicidal.
    • Ivy
      True, most of it has nothing to do directly with us.  It's the parts that do that are the problem.   I see the  few problematic statements as being a big problem.  Just because a lot of it may be okay, doesn't change that. Even supposing the rest of it might be good for the country, it doesn't help me if I'm being "eradicated".  I suppose I should be good with that, because it's for the "greater good".  If me being gone would please a number of people, then it's my civic duty to disappear, and vote to implement that.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."

      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.

      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far...

      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.

      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If this goes on, I am conceding the real possibility of being stopped in WM or somewhere by a concerned citizen who tells me, "Lady, God made you female.  I don't think you should be trying to look like a man. You need to return to your true gender and be comfortable living your life out as a woman."   Begin odd and awkward conversation.  I have been thinking about this this morning.

      That's great @Lorelei   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      There are many MAGA GOP types who are not transphobes, of course. Some MAGA GOP types are transgender.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I'm hoping to read the next section today.  Many of the reforms they are calling for are good, such as expediting the military procurement process, and have nothing to do with transgender issues.
