There was an mtf in the military up here, he had the courage to come out and face the system. They even paid for it and all the therapy and such. The military said they would pay for anything that the provinces normally would so obviously some stuff (such as FFS) is not covered.

Rooting around as discreetly as I can, I can find no other information on this person's case, probably for good reason, but I feel it would help a lot if I could go and ask for some of the benefits that she got for us in the military. This would take off some of the financial burden anyway. Most people think I am very lucky that our military would pay for it, but accessing it is not that easy.

Another problem is a change of command within the my military a couple of years ago I think might have forced a change of perspective.

Jenny acouple of years ago in the UK I think around three or four military personal had GAS paid for by the British Army. I thought Canada like the UK and here in NZ the government funds a certain amount of GAS's per years...through the national health service?

I have never heard of that before, as far as I know it was only the one person in Canada about ten years ago and the case attracted negative criticism from a variety of groups.

Wow, I wish Canada was like this, it would make it a lot easier. How hummm. I am going to call one of the therapists in the nearest city today to see if they can recommend one here, they would know, hopefully.

Jenny I am new here and this is my first post. I realize this is an older thread but I hope you are still watching it. Did you ever get your questions about the CF policies on transexuals and what medical issues they'll cover answered? There have been quite a few TS men and women go through the system in the CF now and I am currently transitioning within the CF myself. I'd be happy to talk to you about this if you still are looking to talk with someone. I am too new to be able to PM you but maybe you can pm me?

I'll also chime into this ancient thread. I was the eighth member of the CF to transition, and I did so waaay back in 2003, with surgery in 2005. I don't have any actual numbers, but I'm quite sure we're well in excess of 50 now, prolly much more than that. I've met more than a few other CF MilTrans. Not all of them have been successful transitions.

      Speaking of hair days…for me, hair has always been the part of my presentation that had the most impact on my overall view of myself. It was much worse for me earlier in my transition. I enjoy experimenting with new hair styles so once in a while, I’ll end up completely redoing my hair because it somehow reminded me of my old self. Self image is a strange yet powerful thing and it take a lot of time and effort to change it.

      I am working on a solo music project and I decided a few years ago I wanted to do female lead vocals. I’ve played instrumental music most of my life and sung as a male, mostly backup and harmony though, but very little lead. I never liked my male voice. People always clocked me as female on the phone so I’ve always had a more feminine voice. A little over two years ago I started training my female voice to sing and it has been a lot of fun, though I’m still not where I want to be. Consistency is my biggest challenge.    I try to make practice fun or I don’t stick with it. So I do a lot of singing along with my favorite cover songs…I use a vocal fader, and practice with a microphone, and often just record the blend with my phone to evaluate where I’m at and see what I need to work on. If possible I find karaoke mixes on YouTube where the lead vocal is removed and sing along to that.   I’m not sure I can offer much advice, I just do a lot of listening back and adjusting my technique and practicing until I like how I sound. Just a lot of practice. It will probably take longer than you hope to get where you want to be :) High notes will be challenging but every singer has to build up the muscles and technique and breath support and stretch the vocal chords and then their range will expand. My higher notes are in tune, but often sound strained, probably because they are. Some of that is tensing up in anticipation which I need to train myself out of doing.    I think “trans voice lessons” on YouTube is one of the best channels for tips and theory. Once you’ve found your singing voice and have that relatively consistent, pretty much it’s just working on technique, styling, articulation, range, like any singer would.

      I sometimes look too critically when I look in mirrors. If I’m presenting as male, I think I look too feminine. If I am presenting female then I think I look too masculine. It’s very irritating! Sometimes I think I get it down right. I guess everybody has their good and bad hair days and such, though.

      https://www.hrc.org/news/reyna-hernandez-latina-trans-woman-salon-owner-and-vibrant-spirit-killed-in-washington-state   This case is unusual, in that the victim was murdered in the U.S. and her body driven all the way to Mexico, presumably to hide evidence and confuse the authorities.    May Reyna rest in peace, and her vicious killer convicted and sentenced to a very long term behind bars.   Carolyn Marie

      I cooked a breaded bone-in pork chop (seared in iron skillet then into the oven) an artichoke (w/mayo) and a frozen mac n' cheese that claimed it was "The Best Mac n' Cheese" ... and it was actually pretty good.
