I had my first visit to a therapist today. I had a incident while out dressed last week, and I finally came to a conclusion. Let me explain. My SO and I went to dinner at a popular local pub. Not a chain. We ordered, and had a couple of drinks. I needed to go to the bathroom, and naturally I used the ladies. When I came out of the stall, a waitress asked me a question. I answered best I could. By the time I was finished washing me hands, a manager was at the door (male) asked me what I was doing, and I said using the batroom, and he said not here. I walked past him back to my seat. When our waitress came by, I asked to see the manager. I told him I was transitioning, and asked him what bathroom did he want me to use. He said I should not use the men's and I agreed. Then I asked him if he would rather we not come back, and he said he didn't want to loose our business. Well I did alot of thinking since then, and went to a therapist today. I have been diagnosed with Gender Identity Disorder. I knew that, but now I have a new destination. We will discuss my issues, wich may lead to transition. I am along way from it, but I am ready to start down the path.
