An OMG Times Infinity

That is oh my goodness. I made a phone call to a transgender surgery center today after finding out the closest surgeon doesn’t except my insurance. They only work with my secondary, and they won’t accept it the because of the primary, something about state rules. Initially, I was devastated. Every other emotion was just […]

Gulp

Earlier this evening I took my first doses of estradiol and spironolactone (spiro for short). Today instead of an office visit with my endocrinologist I did a tele-visit because of the situation and safety precautions being taken by health care professionals due to the Coronavirus. First the medical assistant came on and ask if […]

Coming Out to My Property Manager

Okay, I have been meaning to do this for months—telling my property manager I am a transgender woman. I live in a housing program for people with mental health issues. They have properties that they rent out rooms in the houses, townhomes, or condominiums to people who are diagnosed with a mental illness (mine is […]

My First Visit to the Endocrinologist

My last post was about a HRT† recommendation letter I received from my therapist. In this post I will try to describe my actual first visit to the endocrinologist. First I was nervous as all get up this morning. I have dealt with a lot of anxiety in the past, but got over it about […]

“My baby, just a wrote me a letter”

Actually, it was my therapist. And, it wasn’t for me, it was for my endocrinologist. A letter recommending me for hormone replacement therapy (hrt). My appointment with an endocrinologist is next Wednesday, March 4th. And, I should say finally! She has been procrastinating writing it for over a month. And she had to complete it […]

Did I Hear My Name

This is another of my mini posts. It describes another first for me. One that actually took me by surprise. Let me briefly tell you about it. I was at my pharmacy getting a prescription of gabapentin for my carpal tunnel syndrome pain. I had been trying to get an increase from what I take […]

A Lovely Surprise

On Monday I had a wonderful day. Something happened that I had not experienced before as a woman. As a gurlfriend often says, “it is without words.” Nonetheless as a wordy gurl, I will proceed to relate what happen to me. I was at the program I attend three times a week for my mental […]

OMG* Another Appointment

Okay, so I wrote about making an appointment with an endocrinologist (Made an Appointment), and I wrote about being on the waiting list for voice feminization therapy (Yeah! I am on a Waiting List). So, you will never guess what happen? Hehehe. I was sitting in a journal therapy group today. Not that it is […]

I Was Laughed At

This was the first time I was aware of open discrimination against me. This happened today. I will briefly describe what happen, how I responded, and what I thought about it after. I was in a grocery store going past the aisles and a group of 4 kids (from about 6 to 12) laughed as […]
