Today is the 1st Day of the rest of my life

[Deborah_UK]

Today my transition starts, for real.

Although to live F/T as a female is still a way off I am taking the first step today. I'm going to see my GP to tell him I want referral to the the Gender Clinic. That I want to start on hormones as soon as possible.

I intend to sell my house and move - to where no-one knows my male side, so when I do move in the neighbours will only know a woman is there.

I am nervous and excited, but I know I can no longer live a lie. Why should I be unhappy for the rest of the 20 or so years I have left on this planet.

I know it won't be easy, I know there will be difficulties ahead, but I finally realise that this is MY life, I want to live it as the woman I know I am.

Don't wish me luck - just your wishes and prayers.

And with your indulgence - some support too please?

Thanks :happy:

Hi Debroah

It seems to me luck is something you dont need just lots of :hugs:

I hope you have a smooth transition and enjoy every minute from your new begining :D

[Sandra]

I wish you well Debroah and send you lots of :hugs:

[Tamara Croft]

Wow, a new journey :hugs: I wish you well for your new future and keep us up to date how things go :D

[MJ]

wow good for you , all the best to you, should you need someone to talk to "pm" me anytime

[Deborah_UK]

Thank you

Sandra, Shelly, Tamara & MJ for your hugs and thoughts.

It was quite surreal - I went in to the Doctor, I didn't beat about the bush(which suprised me!) his first comment was "wow! well done!" - he agreed to refer me onwards (as per NHS guidelines) but I will have to wait for hormones

Good for you, Deborah! I wish you all the best - as smooth a transition as possible and all good things in your future. :hugs:

[Sharon]

As you say, it won't always be easy, Deborah, but I can assure you that it will be easier than continuing to be someone you aren't.

You have my best wishes and all the support you ever need.:happy:

I wish you lived near me we could both run away together. Same plan here, sell my house and start new. Just a few things left to settle here first and I'm on my way.

Well, prayers and support are all I have to give, but they're yours, Deborah. Together we can all remain strong and start living the life, not the lie.
