Hello, I’ve waited here for you, everlong.
Yeah, I’ve been gone awhile there, sorry. Had all kinds of stuff to work out in life, but its down to somewhat normal.
Therapy is going good, and my toe in the water approach to social transitioning is gotten to the point where I’ve got a good portion of my leg in now. Anyways, I took this photo of myself today, and made it my Facebook profile picture. It’s my first “official” photograph of me as a woman.
So yeah, that’s me, folks.
Therapy started awhile back, for those paying attention. I really like my therapist. And she’s pointed me towards the primary care physician she works with all the time, so who knows. I might actually start hormones faster than I ever thought, though I remain cautiously optimistic (“hope for the best, prepare for the worst” has always been my philosophy). Now I just have to worry about insurance stuff, or potential liver anomalies (though I have read that there’s a patch application that gets around that pesky problem, which would be awesome. Ive shown odd output from my liver before). But in the very immediate, my therapist is really nice, has experience, and easily rolls with my quirks about therapy (though part of that is I’m much more willing to talk now).
Oh, and I had a birthday this past Halloween, so happy belated to me.
Merry Birthday Sandi 🙂
I’ll be on the patches too … they’re apparently better for us “women of a certain age” *cough* because they bypass the liver and the heart.
Keep the pics coming hunny 🙂

Funny follow up on the photo: friends coworker saw it up on her screen, asked her “oh, is that a friend who is transitioning?” Turns out, she thought I was FTM. I take that as a win.

Like I said, I’ll take it as a win. I mean, she saw woman first, thought I was a woman trying to look like a guy. That’s a win to me.
