Here it is everyone......

I thought I should let Everyone know

[qualdy.livejournal.com]

I went to see a general doctor today whom i have gone to in the past for illness, anxiety, etc.

Today I went in to see if she would monitor my hormone levels for me or at least give me a referral and she declined stating that she does not have knowledge of transgender patients and that she is unable to help and she would not even measure my estrogen/androgen levels. She did however check everything (liver, prolactin, etc...)

Im not posting negatively about her, but thought id let everyone in the Florida area know that she probably isnt the doctor to see for Transgender related issues.

Back to square one :(

have a great week

The Transsexual Experience Through Art

[justanormalgirl.livejournal.com]

So I had a thought ~ what if we created a framework, either in print or on the internet, for trans people to write personal history, short stories, poetry, drawings, photographs, etc. that expressed their feelings about the trans experience? Would you be interested in participating?

Although I'm MTF, I know a couple of FTMs in real life who I think would be interested in doing something like this so it should be open to people of all gender persuasions ~ MTF, FTM, GQ. However, since there is so much out there from older TS, I would really like to emphasize those under 25 (maybe 30), who transitioned high school (or before!) or college/young adulthood.

Do you have any suggestions? Are there already similar projects like this out there?

Sex (or the lack, thereof)

[laura-seabrook.livejournal.com]

Read a post by an LJ friend that quoted telling it like it is in the world of bi-trans romance by Heather Franek. Goddess - that resonated in me, in fact I got "triggered" if you know what that is. I've written before (in my own journal) about how I've felt both sexually frustrated and emotionally isolated. Both posts were back in 2006, and not much has changed since then. I still feel sexually isolated/confused. I still feel distant. I used to hang around the Bi groups in Australia and Sydney, but really what I got was (like said in the article):

...that transgender people were valued allies and interesting objects of intellectual analysis about gender and society, but that few of the folks writing about "gender fuck" were seriously willing to consider trans people as close friends or potential romantic partners. Unless, of course, you were talking kinky sex and gender exploration at a party or TS-friendly sex club.

So tell me, what are your dating strategies?

Does anyone have any advice for trying to transition (or come out) in the work place? Especially if you're an FTM and all your co-workers are cute bubbly girls?

I've been hiding in drag (for lack of a better term) at work to attempt to fit in, but it's just so damn awkward, and I'm probably super obvious in looking like I'm trying to fit in. Part of me wants to just quit and start over from scratch somewhere else. I don't have the bravery that so many of you have. And I don't really have confidence in my coworkers.
