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.

      I agree @Birdieto just "fit in", is what drove us to therapy. I'm not fitting in just to please someone with a closed mind. At least you know who your fair weather friends are now.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Yesterday in the lobby some of the residents were talking with me. One asked, "how come in all the TV commercials at the centre you don't appear in any of them?"   I explained that, "I'm an embarrassment to the centre and they don't know what to do with me." I get edited out!   Quite the differing options with the ladies at the table as some of them said, "that's discrimination", while others said, "they can see why."   Another lady said, "you would fair better if you cut your hair and went back to overalls, you should strive to fit in!"   Their opinions are as meaningful to me as rubbish. I did 45 years of trying to "fit in", and not doing that again. 😉

      Gosh, missed Monday again.   Did you know that Producer Keith Oslen was distraught because the duo his recorded Buckingham-Nicks first album went nowhere? In walked Mick Fleetwood also distraught because once again Flleetwood Mac lost a guitarist in Bob Welsh and he was at least going studio shopping and came to Sound City in LA because he'd heard the drum sound they got there was incredible. He asked Oslen to play something recorded there. Olsen played some of Buckingham-Nicks and Fleetwood loved the sound of the guitarist and wanted Buckingham. Olsen said he comes with Nicks because Olsen managed both. Fleetwood didn't want Nicks but eventually the remaining Mac members said okay and next thing you know - the Fleetwood Mac that scored a huge following was born. Sadly right after the "Fleetwood Mac" album and before "rumours" was recorded, the band got huge headed and got rid of Oslen so they didn't have to play him a lot of music they wanted to keep. Olsen did ok after by recording Ozzy Osbourne, the Grateful Dead, Whitesnake, Pat Benatar, Heart, Santana, Saga, Foreigner, Scorpions, Journey, The Babys, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Joe Walsh, 38 Special, and Eric Burdon & the Animals, among others. BTW - Olsen was also a members in 1967 of a band called Music Machine (not the James Taylor one) that scored a huge hit with the song "Talk Talk"

      Still on contentment high from Sunday.
    • Heather Shay
      CONTENTMENT The relentless pursuit of happiness often overshadows the more subtle yet profound emotional state of contentment. While happiness may be a fleeting high, contentment is the gentle hum of satisfaction that resonates through the soul, offering a sustainable path to life satisfaction. Oscar Wilde's poignant observation encapsulates this truth: "True contentment is not having everything, but in being satisfied with everything you have."
