First, my apologies for my absence in this area of the forum. But I am hoping you may understand somewhat after reading this post.
Today is the one year anniversary of joining this on-line forum. Since that time, a lot has happened with me, so I thought I would update you all. So here goes.
As of right now, I am separated from my wife. This came as a result of diagnosis of strong Gender Dysphoria and starting to transition. I started laser hair removal back in the mid winter and am just about complete on that. I have also started electrolysis for removal of grey facial hair...stupid facial hair!! And that is going really well! It hurts a bit, but for me, not as much as laser.
I am out to everyone in my family including my two daughters, both of which are okay with it and the oldest (she's 26) is actually my biggest cheer leader!! My sister, her husband and kids, and my brother, his wife and their kids are 1,000% on board and have been wonderfully supportive. I have informed my boss, and she was extremely supportive and is doing everything she can to make the whole process at work go smoothly. Long story short, going full time for ever including work next July. We have a very strong LGBT committee at work as well as a TG Bill of rights that is strictly enforced by our Human Rights Office, and now, by my boss.
I have started HRT, having been on testosterone blockers for the past 6 or 7 weeks. Feeling great! So far, my blood work is where it should be for this stage, so all is good with that. So, I have been spending what little time I have available on the transgender side of this forum. Please know that this doesn't mean that I have forgotten about any of you. I think often of all the friends I have made on the forum in the past year. I hope you are all doing well!! And thanks to all of you who have stayed in touch via PM. Happy to do that for sure!!
Here's to the next 365 !!
