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 […]

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 […]

I Different Kind of Reveal

Okay, so I have been coming out to various people, starting this last spring with my girlfriend. In the summer I came out to my therapist. Then, some of my medical providers. In October I came out at program. Over the holidays I came out to my family, and I have gradually been revealing my […]

I Was Hit On

I was hit on by this south Asian guy at a Target three days ago after I got my ears pierced at a Piercing Pagoda at another location and was looking at these bracelets when he asked if I knew what kind of stones were on one of them. I said I didn’t know and […]
