There is nothing to be afraid of. Making the decsion is the 1st step, now just put one foot in front of the other. Repeat. Prepare to be amazzed.

Wow, your journey has begun, Toni. I hope your appointment is everything you hoped it would be. Please come back and tell us how it went, OK?

[Guest Tamar]

Thanks guys. I will get back to you all tomorrow. I appreciate your words of encouragement.

[Guest Tamar]

Hi mods. Just wondering where my post from yesterday went. Probably my fault- still trying to work this site out.

[Guest Tamar]

Again? What am I doing wrong?

[MaryEllen]

You're not doing anything wrong. If you post late at night EST there are not many (if any) moderators on line so it could be several hours before your posts are approved. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hugs

Johnny

[Guest Tamar]

Oh,I see. Thanks Mary. It is a good name,isn't it JJ. Btw,on a lighter note,how do I update my profile? Apparently,I'm not allowed to look at it? Something to do with the 5 mandatory posts perhaps?

[Guest Krisina]

Yes that's right Toni. Once you hit 5 posts you can make some changes!

Krisina

[Guest Svenna]

[Guest Tamar]

Hi I'm Tony s wife I have been trying to register to get some support every time I try it says ip address already in use .I have tried other sites but the support is so negative .I would like to register so I can get some support thank you kj ,

[Petra Jane]

Hi KJ,

I've removed your email, just for your safety and you will hopefully have an email from me now.

[Guest Tamar]

Hi all! Just an update. I received a letter from my psych today. It is a copy of the letter he sent to my referring GP He states that he strongly believes my situation is genuine MTF gender dysphoria (or whatever that word is :/ ) and he wants me to begin hormone therapy as quickly as possible and that I should be encouraged to begin RLE as soon as practical. Yay Me. Unfortunately,he is retiring,however,he has referred me to one of his collegues,and sent him a copy of the letter also,asking him to take over my situation. I have an appointment in about 3 weeks. So,all in all,best day I've had for a long time.

[Cyndee]

Thanks for the update Toni and good luck with the referral.

Hi Toni,

<<< hug >>>

Welcome to Laura's Playground.

Please feel free to come over and chat sometime.

The Chat room does require another registration that is separate from from your forums one.

Please read the chat room rules before coming in, and expect a short interview with one of the chat room moderators.

One of the things that they will ask you is if you read the rules.

We all look forward to seeing you.

Hi Vanna

Id love to visit chat,but my only internet access is on my phone which doesnt have java or something and won't let me open it. Sooo, not just yet I guess. :/ Anyhoo, "public" update, my app with my new GT is on the 13th Happy bday to me. I'll let everyone know how it goes.

[Guest chelsea gal]

congratulations! looking forward to hear about how the apt goes

[Guest Tamar]

Soo,went to see my new GT yesterday. This one is taking a different approach. He wants to start at my earliest memories and work thru my life story. I told him I didn't think he had a big enough pry-bar in the office to open those vaults Soo,this looks like its gunna take a bit longer than expected :/ I suppose I should go with it tho,it may help with some other issues-it just seems a bit off topic to me. I guess time will tell.

[Cyndee]

Just think of all the nuggets stored in those vaults, they can be dusted off and made shinny.

Hang in there Toni, it will get better.
