Since my HR manager asking me if I am transitioning back in January, I have been thinking and have decided that I am definitely transsexual. I have also decided to start transitioning by starting Hormone therapy as soon as possible. I have also decided that If I am going to transition I need to start building a support network of people who will accept me for me and who will support me during my transition.
I have been very blessed that my therapist will provide me a letter recommending HRT within the next month. Hopefully I will be on HRT by the end of May. Also I have been blessed with a friend who I told everything to, my crossdressing for 45+ yrs, how I want to transition etc. and she is very happy and very supportive of me. She is setting up a makeup session with a Mary Kay rep friend of hers. Can't wait..
And just this evening spoke with my daughter by phone, told her about my friend Tammy and how accepting she is of me. My daughter knows about my crossdressing but not fully my desire to transition. Well I just told her this evening that I have been seeing a gender counselor, that she will provide a letter for HRT within the next month or so. My daughter said awsome. We've set a time for this weekend to talk in more detail, so she can ask questions etc.. looking forward to it. This make's two very supportive people in my life.
Now I need to tell my son, and then the two most difficult people, my brother and my Uncle. Then on to telling my work. Fortunately, my HR dept is supportive and will help in my transition at work. I can only say I've been blessed with good outcomes so far, hope it continues.
