Update

[Guest G_Unit]

Hi Ladies,

Well it's been a few weeks since you've heard from me. So I thought an update was in order. Lately I have been able to dress as much as possible as Stacy out in public. I bought myself breast forms for Christmas and they fit wonderfully; I've been able to buy style clothing I like and enjoy to wear. I plan on updating my profile pic here once I am able to have my wig. Which should be soon I hope. So just a small but big update from me..

Thank you for sharing your journey. Sounds like you are enjoying the new year.

Hugs,

I am Charlie. There are just two things I need to hopefully be able to dress all the time.. Those being tapes for my breast forms.. and my wig.. Then i just need to perfect my makeup and I should be good.

[Guest LizMarie]

Thank you for checking in! It's always good to hear how others are doing. Good luck moving forward, Stacy!

[Carolyn Marie]

Thanks for the update, Stacy. I'm glad to hear that things are going well for you. I can tell you from personal experience how great it is to have a wig that you feel comfortable with and that looks natural. My wig is a part of me, and fits my personality. I hope you are as happy with yours.

HUGS

Thank you for the update, Stacy. With each step you make, you incorporate it into your life. In time you will feel very comfortable and confident. Congratulations on the progress you have made.

[Guest G_Unit]

thanks everyone. Yes, it does feel pretty natural. I just need to work on walking w/o shoes on. noticed i walk differently with shoes than w/o them.

Just another part to this. I've been trying to be Stacy like all day everyday. Just need to get well 2 things. 1 is a recurring effect every 165 days if i do things right. the Recurring effect being breast form tapes. But again.. it's only recurring once every 165-170 days. Which is good. when in a bind. So I thought I'd update everyone again.

Well here's another update. I have my consultation meeting for HRT on Mach 5th. Though I do have some general questions for those who have fully transitioned.. Are you currently still taking Estrogen? Mom isn't as supportive as I originally thought. She has a hard time seeing me as woman.. She said she had three boys.. Not 2 boys and 1 girl. So going to have to work with her. But as for HRT i have my consult meeting on March 5th at 1:30 I think. Just unsure as to if there is a point in time when you stop taking Hormones all together.

[Carolyn Marie]

Though I do have some general questions for those who have fully transitioned.. Are you currently still taking Estrogen?

Yes, hon. Everyone that I know who has had an orchie or GRS continues to take estrogen, although not Spiro or other T-blockers.

Here's a question.. One i'm really wondering what the best answer is...

When is it a good time to buy swimwear?

It's getting to be beach season and I haven't started HRT yet.. Hoping to within the next month. So when's a good time to be buying swimwear for the beach, as a close friend of mine wants me to tag along with her when she come to the local beach.

[Guest G_Unit]

I have yet to start HRT.. Have been waiting for my therapist to fax over the letter of recommendation to my HRT doctor.. My psychiatrist and regular doctor got their paperwork to my HRT doctor in Madison. I find out more on Wednesday.

[Guest G_Unit]

Just a quick update. I finally told my Bio dad i'm transitioning and he said he couldn't see it in me. but would try. he also mentioned that moving to Madison would be a good idea as the community is more open than the one i currently live in. Which is nothing I haven't considered but after calling around to apartment complexes i can afford, they all had between a 2-5 yr wait list. So I'm pretty much stuck in the town i'm in. Dad was the last person I wanted to tell as his support for me is kind of key. But I could have done without the reminder that my town isn't the best place to be for being transgendered. He also said that after raising two girls he didnt' see in me what he sees in them. Which in all reality he wouldn't, because those are things I have to learn to do so it will take some time.

On a better note, I'm more than likely moving into my own place this Christmas so I can finally be myself and have a place for myself. So I'll keep everyone updated as time goes on.

[Guest G_Unit]

This is the best update yet to come.. I just saw my therapist and he said he'd be ok with me starting HRT by this Christmas.

[Charlize]

That certainly sounds like someone is going to have a merry Christmas! Congats.

Hugs,

Charlize

[Guest LizMarie]

Congratulations!

As a former resident of Wisconsin where I was born and raised, La Crosse is semi liberal, but I agree with your dad Madison Wisconsin is certainly the most liberal in Wisconsin. Minneapolis is equally as liberal as Madison Wis. Go somewhere you aren't known and just be yourself. College towns are easier to live in as young people are more accepting. Good luck on the rest of your life. Kathy

[Guest G_Unit]

Well I have a good news update. My Therapist wrote my letter for Hormones and it will be in my doctor's hands before I see him on the 4th of December.

[Charlize]

That is exciting! Hopefully you could leave with a prescription. Have you had a baseline blood test yet? Your doctor may want that and calling the office may save you a bit more waiting time.

Hugs,

Charlize

[Guest G_Unit]

I have had the blood test, physical and the letter of Recommendation will be there by Wednesday.
