Hello All,

I have made the decision to go from female to male. I have my referral into the endocrinologist/ specializing in transgender. 

I've always wanted to be make as far back as I can remember as a child. 

I fell in love with the little girl next door. We were the same age. We kissed and touched then her brother caught us and told my mother.  My mother beat me for this and granted up and down that woman are for men and vice versa only. 

As I journeyed through my life time I knew I was unhappy but married the first time because I thought he was my night in shining armour. Very abusive relationship. I did have 2 wonderful children though.

My 2nd marriage was all one sided and I was constantly taking care of him. Very selfish and self centered.

My third marriage was my childhood sweetheart and he was the only one that made me feel some what happy to be a woman. He past away last year.

I fell into a deep depression and couldnt climb my way out.

I sought counseling and had discussed how I always hated being a woman. She asked me why I haven't done this.

Then my girlfriends daughter came over and took a picture of me and transformed that picture into a male version of me. I was dumb founded. She said I was very good looking. Just this alone started to shake me out of my depression. When I told my councilor and showed her the picture , I said it's time for me and I want to do this now. She thought I looked handsome too.

So my referral is in and I'm just waiting for the call.

Also I was getting rid of all my girly clothes and doing it with glee in my heart.

So this pretty much sums up why I want to do this. Besides hating every girl thing there was to do it play with when I was growing up and in my adult hood.

Btw, L. Is for my first name but the Andrew is what I have chosen for my male name.

      4 months doesn’t seem such a long time now compared to the times I was previously looking at! 🙂   Many thanks to @Karen Careyfor pointing me towards GenderCare, they have been nothing but helpful and professional, and I wouldn’t be where I am now without them.

      Love is a mix of feelings and actions that shows a deep liking for someone or something. Love involves caring for another. Romantic love can lead to things such as dating, marriage and sex, but a person can also feel for friends, such as platonic love, or family. There are also chemical reactions within the brain that can be triggered by the different types of love.

      Good morning, everyone!! I'm still battling the Worst Head Cold Ever. Just when I think I've turned the corner, it smacks me back down. If you've got stock in tissues, I'm driving up your profits.   Our early Spring has the grass growing quickly. I need to get out today and cut it before it grows over the house. Today is supposed to be sunny and mid-60s so I'll suck up not feeling great and get the mowers out. At least I'll be in the sunshine for a few hours. The next few days are supposed to be rainy so it's today or wait until the weekend.   Time for a second cup of coffee!!   Stay safe and enjoy this beautiful day we've been given!!

      Welcome Mattie.  When i got here i was at a point bin my journey when i was discovering my path.  Writing about it and reading about others helped me greatly as did gender therapy.  Perhaps the hardest thing was finding self acceptance without feeling guilt at simply being me. Enjoy your time here.  You are not alone.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Ugh. The worst head cold. Ever.

      @Breanne_O You seem to be on your way there girl-- full speed ahead it was a real adventure for me 11 years ago.

      I picked a cancellation spot with Dr Lorimer yesterday and had my consultation a month early.  I had been worried about how it would go, but the process of exchanging information was nothing to worry about and I felt quite at ease throughout.  That’s not to say some parts weren’t challenging to articulate clearly, but Dr Lorimer’s manner helped enormously.   The GI/GD diagnosis was such a welcome conclusion to it all, and such an important milestone in my journey.   Now for the Endo consult waiting…

      This one is NOT over, and this is not a final final ruling on the matter since this was a procedural and not substantive ruling based on scientific evidence.

      https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/supreme-court-allows-enforcement-idaho-ban-gender-affirming-care-trans-rcna141209     6-3 decision, of course.  The conservative Justices really don't give a damn who gets hurt, as long as it's "just" trans kids.  This is what we can expect, going forward.    Carolyn Marie

      I am on a three month review cycle for dosage. Do you have a plan with your doctor? I didn't discuss overall strategy when I got my prescription, it was a very long appointment. I was able to ask via web message to get a better idea; we'll check blood every 3 months and titrate accordingly. I don't know if we'll change labs to 6mo after a year or not, but that's where I'm at now. I, too, was like "is this enough?" at the start. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't, but I've seen positive results during the months at a lower dose and continue to notice changes. For instance, my skin sensitivity is much higher. I always wondered why my wife was so ticklish, but I'm starting to understand why. I'll bet I am 20-40% more sensitive to touch than I was before; gently tickling my arm (I would wake up doing this sometimes, up and down my arms) now makes my fingers tingle...in a good way. :)
