Well, I finally booked an appointment with my GT with the purpose of getting my referral and setting up an appointment with an endocrinologist to start hormone therapy. I asked my wife to go with me, as my GT requested, but she got upset and didn't give me a straight answer. Which upset me because I've been trying to work up the courage to ask for nearly six months, and felt the time was finally right. I'm going ahead with it anyway, because she has to understand that I'm going through with this, with or without her, but I'll never stop telling her I'd rather it be with.

My appointment is two days before Christmas, which should get me my endo appointment sometime near my birthday. We'll see what happens. Wish me luck :)

I trust that it all goes well.

When I booked re my gender problems, my wife came with me, and when he asked, "do want to live as a woman" and my answer was "yes", and that is where our marriage ended when we arrived home, wife (now Ex some 5/6yrs ago) promptly move into the other bedroom.

These days I live alone and living basically as a woman, and I am pretty happy, leaving all that turmoil behind. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

That's the thing though, my wife has known my intentions for about 2 years, and it had finally gotten to the point where we were discussing it, or at least aspects of it, openly and positively. The reason I asked her when I did was because we were already in the middle of having a discussion that she started, about the SRS, and it was a pleasant enough conversation. Most of the time, our relationship is good, and when it's not it's usually stress related and nothing to do with my transition. I thought the timing was good, but we shall see. Sometimes I believe she thinks I just plan to talk about it for the rest of my life.

Shilo,

Congrats Shilo. I am so happy for you. I really hope you wife goes with you.

Let us know how the visit went afterwards ok.

Good luck Shilo and congratulations on moving forward!

Sometimes people surprise even themselves when confronted with a reality like an appointment rather than a someday possibility. Since she has been more accepting of the possibilities in the future it's possible she will come around when she has time to process her feelings and act rather than react.

Your journey is beginning in earnest-may you enjoy every moment of it!

Hugs

      I am a little confused about the word in your title there.    Defamation is a variation I know about, and it is akin to Libel and Slander in meaning, and could be the object of a court action or a couple of types.   If you are referring to the act of denying or taking away your feminine gender, ie. they keep using masculine names and pronouns or referring to you as  a "man" or "man in a dress", then yes it happens to me on rare occasion and if it is online, I simply block the moron doing it or leave the group where they are doing it, and may or may not come back if the person is there.  When people are willing to learn about Trans Folks I do give what are jokingly referred to as Trans 101 or even more in depth classes to the receptive and accepting audiences.  I DO NOT however try to teach a pig to sing, which as they say sounds like hell and annoys the pig.  If someone is invalidating your gender, get away from them safely and FAST.

      My inner child likes to cuddle with Blahaj.  I know it's weird, but it works for me.
    • Ivy
      I'm not sure they can do this.  Not on line anyway.  LOL   Defamation?  Not that I personally know of.

      Nice! I've found myself shopping around for astrophotography gear more than once but haven't taken the plunge yet. To close to a metro area to do it from my home.

      It never occurred to me to be able to see them here in the south.   Maybe tonight if it's not cloudy.

      Well, this last post brings my trans life up to date.  What happens from here is anyone's guess.  The next big milestone will be retirement, probably next year some time.  I don't think that will change things much for Sally because as I have stated previously, I am in a mostly happy place where she is concerned.    I do have a few more posts planned, as I would like to write in more detail about a few occurrences that were memorable to me.  Hopefully they will be of interest to others.    Hugs,   Sally

      Has anyone been a victim of online defemination? and what to do about it?
    • Vidanjali
      Yes, this is very therapeutic. You are able to see different aspects of your own personality. There is the part which has survived life thus far through decision making and lots of trial and error. That part of you is your wise and capable parent. When you feel strongly identified with the scared child in you, you can turn to the wise parent part of you whom you trust to guide you. You have faith and trust in that part of you necessarily because it has gotten you this far. Naturally, we all have room for improvement and advancement, but you can only start where you are and try to do your best with what you have to work with and deal with. But by adopting this attitude, you see that wise parental part of you become stronger, wiser, and more steadfast and skillful. Then the child in you increasingly becomes more trusting and carefree.

      You want to hear coincidence? I just posted that and my neighbor just texted me and said she has been up early because there were Northen Lights outside. Then 2 seconds later I get an extreme weather alert. “We are experiencing Extreme Geomagnetic conditions observed and continued severe geomagnetic storms expected to continue through the weekend”.

      No you aren't!!  There were reports from Texas, Arkansas and the Carolinas of spectacular shows last night.  This is a once-in-a-lifetime event, the best show since 1938, someone said.  Tonight is supposed to be just as good.  (OK, maybe a twice-in-a-lifetime event.  )
    • Susan R
      @KathyLauren That’s absolutely beautiful. Love those colors! That would be so nice to see some time. I’m too far South to ever see these spectacular events.   Very Nice, Susan R🌷
