Progress Update

Well let’s see, where to start…

First is the fact that my Psychiatrist finally agrees with me that I am truly transsexual (took me writing a long note explaining in detail how I felt and everything). This is a nice step forward. Visited my regular Medical Doctor the other day and he want’s to help but has no clue what to do, so he thinks I should go to John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore MD. Those that know me know I can’t travel right now due to the situation with my parents. So that kinda has me down. I plan on searching a little bit harder for someone closer to here for me to see. Even if they happen to be in Virginia, which would be a little bit closer and easier for me to travel to.

On the non-professional front, I am still doing all the little things I can do until I can start HRT. My hair is coming along really well, still nowhere near where I want it. Voice training is slowly making progress, still way off but getting better everyday. Still no clue when I can start electrolysis yet, parents haven’t mentioned a word about it yet. I would love to get a job and pay for it myself, along with other things. But they still refuse to let me even go look for one till I hear back from my lawyer on my SSI claim.

I know I won’t get my SSI, so I don’t know why they won’t let me even go check about a job. Kinda upsets and depresses me too. 29 years old and they still make some of my decisions for me, how sad is that. I know I should start saying something and making ALL my own decisions, like the ones I have made so far that they have no say over no matter what. But, even if I say something about and then do it, somehow they still influence the choice. Oh well, one day I won’t be here for them to do that. If I could find a job and move out, *sigh* dreams.

Ok, so that is a small update for now. Off to bed with me and hope I can sleep better tonight.

    Your post is well into the past, and I’m sure you’ve made plenty of progress since then, but I just wanted to chime in and say that it takes courage to do all the things that a trans person needs to do. You’re showing courage in coming out, and in talking to the people who can help you. Every trans person is different, so you’re the only one who can say “if I do such-and-so, that will make my life better”.

    Just keep having courage and take things one day, one challenge at a time.
