Came Out To My Therapsit Today

so. it had been awhile since i saw my therapist (she's not a gender therapist), and i called her up today cuz i wanted to at least start going to therapy again since i have no insurance and doubt i'll be starting T anytime soon. she just happened to have a cancellation, so i went in to see her. i'd been wanting to come out to her since i started seeing her last year, so this time i brought my lil sis with me (she's the only one i'm out to) for moral support.

it went pretty well i guess. i mean, i was really nervous, even though i knew she wasn't going to reject me or anything... but now i'm just wondering what's next. anyway, i'm seeing her next week again, so i guess we can start making a plan then.

peace&love

That wasn't so bad was it?

All of this time not telling her and a year of lost opportunities - if you aren't careful you could end up like me 57 and still plodding along about to start hormones just a few months from my 58th birthday!

Love ya,

Sally

Dear, Dear NobleLight!!

Coming out to your sister was a very big and important step. Even bigger, was to come out to someone not in your family! My dear, you are walking the walk!! Keep walking, step by step, you are on your way!!

Don't worry about 'T' and other considerations right now. You are expressing to others your true gender, your mind, your soul!! That is what is so important. The other technical details will follow.

Keep going!! I am very proud of you!!

LOL

Congrats on telling your therapist and your sister. I'm finding out it's not that big a deal to most people and wonder why i made such a big deal about it.

I think it's because it's a huge deal to you, because it's your identity, it's who you are, it can hardly be more important to you. As close as you are to anybody else, your identity is going to matter less than other things (like their identity for example). Your identity is necessarily a big deal to you, but it's never going to be as big of a deal to someone else.

And NobleLight, congrats dude.

Noble.....

Very good, Sweetheart!

Doesn't it feel great to have a confidant now?? Someone that you can confide in ?

That is a very important step in your growth. Each step makes the others easier by a small bit and one day there will be no steps left to take! You'll have arrived!

Give yourself a HUGG for me.....OK?

Thanks.

Love....

Donna Jean

      People who are out publicly, and openly transgender, maybe on HRT, having changed names and gender, have a lot to lose if anti-trans politicians take power.  They have openly called for our eradication, and promise to do everything they can to accomplish this.  (again, 2025) For someone in this position the election is about our survival.  It's foolish to delude ourselves into thinking "Oh, they don't really mean that.  It's all for show," or, "There's other more important things to concern ourselves with." Maybe for some people the other things take priority.  But if you have skin in the game, things look different.

      If that happens, a lot of things I don't want to see might also be codified into law.  And some things that shouldn't be law might not get repealed.  To me, progress in one area isn't worth the price we'd have to pay in several other areas.     For me, voting on LGBTQ issues always ends up as an "out of the frying pan, but into the fire" sort of event.

      Trying out a new wig. Got my reading glasses on. I've also got dark roots now - first time in years.

      Thea, your post made me think of a comic named Chloe Petts whom I saw recently on Hannah Gadsby's Gender Agenda comedy special on Netflix. She is a cisgender masculine lesbian. She is brilliant and so funny. I was intrigued by her identification - specifically masculine, not butch. And it seems to me there is a difference.

      Today I had a dr appt. When I checked in, I was asked my surname, which I gave. Apparently there were two patients with appointments at that time with that same surname. The receptionist asked, "Are you (my legal name which is feminine) or Paul?" I got such a kick out of it not being assumed I had the feminine name.

      That must have felt affirming, albeit perhaps weirdly so. However, I'd construe that more broadly (no pun intended) as sexism rather than misogyny where the latter would imply contempt. Also, incidentally, I've heard chivalry referred to as "benevolent sexism".

      My boss is in a panic. His business is a couple straws away from breaking a camel in half. He's just handling the stress very poorly.   My dad, though. He's handling things pretty well, as long as I continue to don't get massively offended by being called: son, boy, etc. His eldest is leaving the State and looks so different than he's been used to over the years. I haven't told him I'm on HRT, but to be fair the changes haven't been massive. I've always had boobs, more so after COVID weight gain and made more obvious with its loss, but now I'm not hiding them--and obviously wearing a bra. The estrogen has done some work, but nothing major (sadly). I think the biggest HRT changes have been my skin and a mild amount of fat redistribution.   Today I'm wearing my cheater, I almost have cleavage! :D I need to get another t-shirt bra to keep a good rotation. I only have two, one push-up, and the rest are unlined (great for Summer, but not great for my Summer wardrobe ).

      Thank you so much April!

      Glad to hear it. Abby

      I eat a ketogenic diet and have had no problems. I don't know about your case but I suspect it is the estrogen. Research the types of ways to take estrogen. Pay close attention to the bloodwork results. If they are not satisfactory, bring it up with your doctor. I take injectables, which are fully covered by insurance. It may not be the route for you, but something to consider. I emphasize to do your research and good luck. You can solve this. Be persistent.    Jennifer

      I'm in a magenta blouse under a baby blue buttoned cardigan - still a little cool here in the northeast today - with dark blue jeans. Oh, and my favorite flame colored copper feather earrings.

      What a wonderful photo! You look gorgeous!!!
    • Justine76
      White crop top and capri jeans ;) Finaly tricked the face id on my phone, "that's not you" lol.

      This is my opinion, so take it for that. Fatigue is based more on what you eat. Eat a more healthy diet, and stay away from ultra-processed foods and that should help. Think of eating the way we did a couple hundred years ago before the industrial revolution. It's just a thought.   Jennifer

      Welcome back, Jennifer! As a relative newbie to the forum and to transition, I look forward to getting to know you and share in your experiences.
