after coming out to my mother, i've started seeing a therapist, for both transgender issues and anxiety/depression (mostly the latter lately).
the therapist referred me to a sexologist, who i've had one appointment with so far. she officially diagnosed me as transgendered, and discussed what we can do.
basically, where i live (newfoundland, canada) is really not good for this kind of thing. the sexologist said that there was one doctor who could administer hormones and he is at a hospital at the other end of the province, but she gave my mother his number, and while he's currently away, we're going to call him within the next week or so.
the sexologist is sure that i will be able to do this, though. it will be a difficult process, but i will be able to transition.
my mother is /extremely/ supportive, and is overall being really great with this whole thing.
i have yet to tell my father anything, because i have /no/ idea whatsoever how to go about it.
it feels good to have finally started something.
