After getting off to a false start with my HRT last week, first I had issues with a Jerk for a Pharmacist and then as soon as I got home I discovered a message from the Doc requesting that I hold off until today to begin taking my Meds so I could get in for a Base Line Blood Panel...I feel somewhat renewed, reenergized and yes reborn.
I got around a little earlier than necessary and having a bit more vim and vinegar in my step this morning I decided that I was going to commerate this day by knocking one of the items off my list of Goals I have set for myself, but I actually ended up getting two of them done... but more on that later.
A couple of months ago I was returning from a trip to Jefferson City, almost three hours from my home and decided to make the drive back enfemme...ran into some issues with a conveinence store clerk who gave me a hard time about using my debit card as it has my male name on it...and all the ID I had was my Drivers License which also has my male name and pic on it.....not that I am really fooling anyone...he was just being difficult.
The following day I called my bank and just spilled to them about this issue and they recommended I get a State Issued I.D. card which would have my male name but my Female image on it.
This was something I had already been considering doing and even went so far as calling the Local Police Station to inquire on the legalities of doing so....I spoke to a Female Patrol Commander who informed me that this was encouraged as the State was only interested in Identifying me should I have a run in with the Law at any point.
I was told that should I be pulled over while dressed enfemme show them both the State ID as well as my Drivers License as it was to my benefit to establish this as a timeline showing that my dressing was not an attempt to defraud or circumvent an officer in their duties.
Hadn't really thought of it like that.
so, since today was my new Birthday...I went into the DMV and obtained this.

Yes it still has my male name and that nasty Male descriptor where it should state Female....but it was an accomplishment for me and one that I am proud of.
Ohhh and the second goal I accomplished today...I have had this mental block an almost irrational fear when it came to going into Wal-Mart of all places as Wendy...I come and go from many other stores and shops without fearincluding big chain Discount stores such as Big-K-mart, Macy's J.C. Pennys, but Wal-Mart stumped me until today.
Today I had a purpose...that Jerk of a Pharmacist I spoke of earlier..happened to be a Wal-Mart Pharmacist who seemed bent on making his views of males using Female Hormones known....during my run in with him last week...hedidn't come right out and openly say it, but he skirted the issue....
I decided to hell with the difference in cost between this store and the Walgrens pharmacy I usually use...$10 per month difference but I will gladly pay it for the service and professionalism they have shown to me as Wendy in the past.
I called the Wal-Mart Pharmacy this a.m. and told them to fill the remainder of my first ninety-day Rx and I would pick it up after my appointments which put my there right around lunch time....yes it was packed with shoppers but as I stated, today I just didn't care....I had a purpose to my step as I walked through the front door past the greeter and picked up my script.... Sure I got a couple of quick glances but that was all...no harrasment and for the most part people went on about their own shopping and payed little attention to me.
Then, I even went so far as to request a Pharmicist consult and asked him about the advantages of taking my meds Sublingually..not that I planned to take them this way, but admittedly, I just wanted to rub his nose in it a little after his smugness last week.
So as of 1:30 p.m. today...I am back at home and have taken my first dose of my long anticipated HRT.
I am happy to announce the rebirth of Wendy...a happier, fully grown adult female...and I can't seem to get this silly smile off of my face.:D
