First Therapy Session

Just got done with my first session earlier today, was a wonderful experience. The therapist is a wonderful person, she is nice, kind, and knowledgable. It felt great to actually verbalize my feelings with a real person. She also gave me some good tips and advice, such as attending the GLBT organization at my college apparantly there are some trans people there. Whats really great is she has a group session set up with 20s range MTF that might have some room. I have my next session next Monday.

Hey, Anthelia! That is wonderful news! I'm really so happy for you..

Doesn't it feel great to get things out an free up your soul...unload?

Hey, didn't my wonderful girlfriend Sally help you get fixed up with a therapist? Or at least I seem to remember that she gave you some names?

Anyway, you got it and now you are going places...And the GLBT organizationds are great places to meet other folks with like interests and problems and to talk and make friends!

Very nice, Honey...I'm very happy for you!

Thanks for the reply. It really felt great to just open up. And yes Sally helped me get setup with a therapist. Im kinda nervous and a tad scared about going to a GLBT organization. But I took my first step, im still alive and feel amazing and would like to continue this feeling. I currently have a few goals for the coming week. My first is to buy some non overly feminine clothing and wear it outside, my other goal is to wear something a tad more feminine to my next therapy session on Monday. On another good note, about halfway into the session she changed her pronoun usage from male to female. Was the first time ive been refered to like that, was a nice feeling.

Hey Anthelia,

You had a good session - I knew you would like her, she'e a sweetheart.

As you opened up to her she read you as really being female and from now on that is all you wil be to her.

She doesn't take to long to get a feel for that inner person.

You go girl!

Love ya,

Sally

The first session is a big step! I am happy to hear you might get to be in a group session soon as well.

It’s a wonderful feeling when things finally get started !!

Congrats Anthelia, the first session is always the toughest, but sounds like you found a therapist that you like, and that's important. My therapist i trust with my life and i tell him everything, he is like an old friend. Between sessions make notes on a pad so when you go you don't forger something important.

Hope you can get into the group, my therapist's office tried that but had nobody willing to go. Your local LGBT center in addition to your college may have monthly transgender meetings. My city does and we usually have 20 - 30 people there.

HUGS!

I just contacted my college GLBT organization and am currently waiting on a response. Now I just need to muster up some courage to try and find my size at a goodwill store, I walked in today wandered around and left. Was kinda sad especially since I know that I don't know anyone there that no one knows me and I won't see them other than at the store, I just had an odd feeling they were watching me. Im going to try tommorow around opening when it will hopefully be less crowded. My goal is to buy an outfit or two, and wear one to my next session. My other goal is to come out to a friend this week and try to open the door with my mom.

Hey Anthelia,

Good luck on buying the outfit - it is a major step but it is one you have to take sooner or later, if you go to my gallery, you will see the outfit that I wore to my last session and then over to get my blood work done - I left my home around 1Pm and got home at 9:30PM - Sally had a full day and was wearing a cute outfit!

Enjoy the newness of all of this.

Love ya,

Sally

Unfortunatly I had some difficulty finding something in my size at goodwill, im thinking my best bet will be heading onto ebay. I saw some nice things on there for fairly inexpensive prices.

Had a slight break from the forums here due to school coming to an end, only 1 more exam left. I just had a group therapy session today, met some great women. They are further along in transition and pass great. Great thing is one of the people in the group session also attends the GLBT meetings at my school. Now I just need a job so I can actually go shopping.

You can find cute stuff at www.womanwithin.com.

Love ya,

Sally

Well, so far I have had a few group sessions which are great. The first one had 3 people show up with the second one having 8. Hopefully I get a paycheck before the next group and have time to go shopping, now that I actually have an income source again.

      hi everyone, my name is giz (or gizzie), i use all prns but i prefer they/it and i just found out abt this place pretty recently !! im really excited to find community among other trans people from so many walks of life !! in my personal life, i do have trans/queer friends but its not easy to navigate that without coming out all willy nilly (and i can't come out to my family, pretty much ever) so this is a pretty good place for me to get to know people and make new friends !!   i also have this weird dysphoria issue that i feel like everyone (and society at large lol) is attaching me to categories and boxes that don't really fit me (obviously this is to do with my agab) so being here without that presentation is also really helpful !!   i also hope to be able to start and share my transitions goals and things like that (just getting my body to a more androgynous look) !!   thanks for reading, and i hope to see more of y'all soon !!

      Well, my friends are out publicly. Openly transgender, and on HRT.  I agree that the survival of all of us is at stake.  But I think there are threats greater and more dangerous than those faced exclusively by LGBTQ folks.   Rising prices. Unaffordable food.  EPA strangling transportation and energy.  Needless foreign wars that put us at risk of literal nuclear annihilation.  A government that wants to tax us, track us, and control every aspect of our lives...including using us as guinea pigs for their medical experiments.     Trump is no savior.  Neither is the Republican party.  But I believe that a vote for Democrats in the federal government is for sure a vote for globalism and what follows it.  War, famine, plague, slavery, and death don't care if we're trans or cis.

      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 ).
