Hey,
Well its been quite some time since I last posted here... So much has changed in my life since then. I have gone from been problem ridden and unstable to being on semi solid ground.
I am only a few months away from starting estrogen. I don't know my appointment date yet, but I do know the wait line is about 6 months and I got my note in late October. Its exciting and scary. It has also been extremely trying for me at times. I have been living as a male still, the counselors I see don't seem to follow what is generally considered the norm for assesment and decided that I was in a position to start hormones even though I haven't been living as a woman.
Right now my only major concern is my voice. Aside from that I have no concerns about passing. I was seeing a speech pathologist for a while but unfortunately have fallen short on that commitment.... though I'm really not sure why. I am going to start going again soon though, and I really mean it.
I am almost living full time by my chosen name. The paper work to make the legal change is in process but will take some time. Though otherwise I go by Liz everywhere but where my legal name is required.
I've also come out to my family. Some people are being kinda weird about it but its mostly because my grandparents got divorced not long after I came out (completely unrelated though). My mother has actually started a support group for the family, partners and allies of trans people. She has been getting recognition from all over the country (I live in Canada for those who don't know). Its nice that she was able to get her s**t together and not make it a really long process.
Wow... I just realized its probably been almost a year and a half to two years since I last posted here.... so much has changed in my life since then....
Anyway... I thought it would be nice to come back to the group. I still really haven't met anyone in real life who I can relate to as another trans person. I know several other transmen, and two or three transwomen, but of the transwomen no one is really anything like me... and well transmen just have different issues, not on the whole, but the majority of the time...
Anyways... Its good to ramble to you guys again.
Nighty night
