Online vs. Real Life

Yeah, I know, for some of us there's no difference. But has anyone else noticed that you have naturally projected as your correct gender online, perhaps even long before you actually found yourself consciously identifying as that gender? In various chat rooms and games, where I have a completely androgynous screen name, people tend to assume I am male. Obviously, the 'Net provides a medium for expressing onesself without outward physical appearance getting in the way, but are there really distinctively "masculine" and "feminine" mannerisms that reveal themselves even though text alone? *ponders*

I am going to a primary care physician next week.

As part of my HMO plan, I am going to get that PCP to refer me to an endocrinologist.

I have asked my therapist to write me a letter to give to the PCP saying that I am a transgendered individual under her care and am/are ready for an endococrinologist referal.

But my therapist asked ME to write what I want the letter to say, then send that to her, then she will tweak it and fax it off to the PCP.

Does anybody have any good examples of letters like this? or is there somebody good with wording that can help me write it?

I am looking for suggestions here for things I can stick in the letter to make it brief yet powerful yet to the point.

Thanks :)

Unfortunately, CKCU-FM didn't manage to contact Noah Adams for the scheduled interview this morning, likely due to time zone miscalculations. (Is Sask. 1, 2 or 3 hours behind Ontario in the summer) But the TCO contact for it at this end did make it on and our Shannon did very well, telling the story so well that the radio guy didn't even need to ask any questions! Thanks, Shannon!
