I am a pre-op MtF in the Rochester, NY area... just joined the group and wanted to say hey!

"Hey!"

LOL!

I like to keep an eye on the gender community (as an active member myself, lol) and hope to talk to y'all soon!

xposted HELP

[ms-e-honey.livejournal.com]

I am fairly new to this group and I am planning to go see my doctor asap about asking for a referel to a gender clinic and to get help . I'm 36 (ok no youngen) but i've always felt like I have since I can remember , but over the past yr it is actually starting to take over my life , my sense of self and my emotions in an almost magical and amazingly intense way .
all i want to do is nurture it and experience it gor and to transition so badly it aches in such a great way .
I just wonder if this is another or part of the stages of realisation and becomming a woman mentally and in my desire to fulfill this intention to a real state .
I have never felt so intense ever in my life nor so happy as I do when i think about it .
Yes 've looked at all the bad points , family , friends , bigots etc , but i cannot seem to control how im growing stronger , it's almost as if i'm subconsciously nurturing it all and when awake , making it grow more .
Any advice on all the thoughts and how long it may take to get to starting hormones would be super .
I know exactly what i must say and do , but I have no idea as yet of time scales from getting a referal ?
I will do this totally but help and advice is very welcome .
And I joined to make friends and to learn as i transition

hey folks

ive not posted here as a main post before, so hi,

names elisabeth im a 24 yo woman who has been on e for a year.

since most topics are pretty sad on this group, id thought id post some good news.

last weekend a freind and i went to a consinment store in virginia (ie nazi germany)
we walked about and grabbed various things then went to try them on, it was a comunal dressing room and we just said to hell with it and took our tops off and started changeing and trying differnt stuff. , other girls came in and out and no one even looked at us funny.

it was quite possibly a highlight of my life, to be able to do this only 1 year into the full transition. ive got a long way still to go and a life time of saving money before i can finnish the transition. but its actualy working and this was a deffinite proving moment.

It's been almost a month since I last saw my counsellor - the one I've been going to for 2.5 years now. I just got the call that my next appointment is Wednesday. At the very end of our last session I finally blurted out that I suspected a source for much of my aggression is my unhappiness with my body. She said we'd talk.

I haven't said anything in all this time to anyone about how I feel, and now it comes down to it, I don't know what to say. What am I going to tell her? Among all the other things I've told her about, I haven't told her the one thing I wanted to talk about in the first place.

I know, it's stupid, she's my counsellor and I should know how to talk to her by now, but I'm really nervous. I don't want her to over-analyze me, but I don't want to be blown off either.

In other news, a friend of one of my brothers told me there's some other bi ftm girl out there in the main school who wants to meet me. Finally! Live support!

Hair Issues!

If I were to stay male I wouldn't have a problem with my body hair, but that's not me (plus it is much too boring)! I want to find the best method for removing body hair, and the best place I can go for the answered is to my transgendered/crossdressing friends. I was thinking of waxing my body but I would like to know if there are other suggestions (perferably the less painful ones)! Thank you for all of your help!
