It has been exactly one year since I left my house and wife for a chance at a more genuine existance. This Thanksgiving I give thanks that I am able to embark on an epic journey. It's called gender transition. It sounds so serious. It really is if done for the right reasons. When I do something I like to do it right and with my full heart. I am trying my best to learn from others and do it as right as I can. This week I made some huge steps.
On Tuesday I went to the doctors to get my final evaluation and my first hormone prescription. I felt so nervous and so exhilarated. I sat in the room and just soaked it in. He handed me the script and I got a huge smile. I finally got what I needed. I will be ceremoniously taking my first pill next Wednesday I believe. I have the pills but I want to take it in a special place and time when I return home to South Carolina. I want my sweetheart there too.
I have to wait because I had to return to Pennsylvania to go to the county courthouse to start the process of name change. I only screwed up one element and that was trying to do it the day before Thanksgiving. I was directed by my county prothonotary to fill out a petition for name change and to get my fingerprints taken. The fingerprinting was kinda cool actually. I had to put my fingers on a mini scanner and the trooper rolled it like it was in ink. The scanner picked up the print and placed it in a box. Each finger was the same. Very CSI. I also filled out a petition to waive court fees because of my unemployed status. That judge was there to sign that but I missed the name change judge by two hours. Dang! Now I have to stay till Monday here stuck in guy mode because I have not come out to my relatives. Only did to mom and bro so far. It it extremely tough to break my full time streak for this but I suppose it is for the greater good. I want to tell my extended family but I don't know if it's time yet. So here I sit waiting impatiently for Monday. The judge will sign my petition and I will get a court date. Then get the heck back home to be with my love starved sweetie, take my medicine, and get to my electrolyigist and esthetician pronto. No time to waste. It's my Christmas present to myself.
