Who are self-medicated and in the U.S.

Just in case it happens to you.

What information can I obtain on an item held in Customs?

If your mailpiece is being held in Customs, they will send you a detention notice within 30-45 days of its arrival in a Customs mail branch. The most common items that are subject to detention are pharmaceuticals; prohibited or controlled items such as alcohol, spring blade knives, and narcotics; and items subject to quota such as textiles being imported for commercial purposes, and not for personal use.

Customs does not track individual mailpieces through their facilities, so unless you have a detention notice with a number, Customs will not be able to give you any information about where your mailpiece may be located.

Just beginning...

Hello everyone! I'm quite new, I recently began accepting myself as a transgendered  woman. I am here in this community to share my expereiences with others and to find some support for what I am going through. I feel I have waited too long to begin my transition, and every day I am more aware of what my past denial has cost me. I have just started seeing a therapist who I think will help me in achieving my goal of true transition from a male body into a female one, the proper body I should have been born into in the first place. I am 26 years old, and I feel I have wasted too much time already. I have to be myself, I can no longer deny who I am. I hope I have found the proper community for support through this. It is time to accept who I truly am... and yet I feel so lost and confused. Are there any others like me?

Hi and about me

[cindik.livejournal.com]

I'm a 46 year old Lesbian, transitioned in 1985, reassignment in 1998. (Long story about the 13 years.)
I'm pursuing ordination as clergy in the United Church of Christ and am currently enrolled in seminary where I am one of at least three (and perhaps as many as five) transgender students out of maybe 100 total students.

I have my own blog (Trans-cendental), so I'll probably do little posting and more commenting.
