living, breathing, surviving

So another month down of hormones and the changes haven't been physical but definately mental. Maybe its a lot of stuff going on with me lately or the stress of whats to come, but I've been a mix of sad, angry, annoyed, depressed, flighty, and rediculously hyper. It could just be the fact that my living situation (or lack there of) is really starting to bother me, or the fact that every other week it seems like I have my brother sending me an email basically saying how I'm an aweful person and

End of the week

Hello Well its the end of another week, driving all over hells creation, Sorry I mean the UK, well it seems like hells creation driving on that M6 in the midlands, it must be the worst motorway in england apart from the M25. Still mustn't grumble as its the clients that pay my income so I put up with all the flak and rubbish on the roads to get the job done. Been travelling to leeds,derby and london this week and Swansea last night 22/1/2011, so now it time for me to chillax and catch up o

Quiet week

Well its been a quiet week work wise, I had a chance to catch up on some paperwork albeit in cyber space, I have been working on a new TG Venture/magazine, getting information ready to apply to the online magazine. Looked around the shops for an hour, trouble is when one is self employed one has to watch the pennies in these early days, so spending in the shops is limited to once a month maybe, I have a meeting with my GP tomorrow for my monthly check up, make sure all is as it should be with my

Here is a poem I wrote about myself many years ago .....

Here is a poem I wrote about myself many years ago ..... A woman of substance a girl it would seem, A lady of class and a child with a dream. All of these things in my life are my own, I will give them to you, should you ever come home. I look into your eyes and see a rainbow coloured sun, In silent thoughts her mind meets mine and we two become as one. You lay your head up on my chest and not a word is spoke, I sigh in deep contentment, 'twas then that I awoke'. The empty place b

Ongoing Transition

There will be weekly bulletins here on my thoughts, I have to continue with my hormones and live as a female for another 2 years before getting my final operation gender reassignmment surgery. this is part of the NHS regime to qualify me and to show that I am genuinely seeking to change to my femme persona permanantly I have lots of new friends since "coming out" as sophie and they are all so supportive, its so nice to have real friends at last instead of the "Oh I am here if you need me" typ

New Start

Hello well here is my life thus far... I have taken steps to tell all close family members about my ongoing transition, this was a huge task as I didnt know what to expect once I had started telling everyone, first I told my brother and his future wife last month, in fact I told them 3 weeks before they were due to marry and to my complete surprise they are so supportive, LOL my brother took the micheal a bit but then he said he will be there for me, his future wife said can I do her make up for

Transferring my blog.... First Beginnings

I have decided to transfer my blog to this site TG Guide so you may find it a tad confusing at first but I am sure you will read from here onwards as this is the first entry. I am writing this to help with my thoughts hopes and feelings and to share my new life. I have been Sophie since the age of 10 when I first dressed in some borrowed female clothes and it felt so right then, so I went through my teen years secretly dressing whenever I could, I had a number of years where I could not b

the waiting game

2011 here we are. Hope everyone had a safe and happy new year and I hope everyone is still doing good with your new years resolutions. I broke one of the two of mine already but o well no big deal lol. Anyways this year will be a BIG year for me, much better planned out than last year. I really thought it through and while it felt like this tide was moving me along in my transition, I feel more in control now and happy about my transition. Now Im just playing the waiting game. Im not wai

Another week

Hi Over the last week iv been thinking about what is known as the second puberty. I have read a lot about this and was trying to remember what it was like for me the first time and after a lot of thought I still can't remember what it was like I know at some point I must have gone it at some point. So far I haven't noticed anything like I have read about, iv had no mood swings no headaches and no out brakes of acne. I feel a lot happier now than I have in years and apart from the expected

Killing myself part 1

Life, meh honestly lately , ive lost a lot of respect for humanity, here in the states i look out side and instead of seeing the metro link i see the place i almost got beat last year for being different. I look at high school near by my home and instead see that place i was picked on for being different. I usually have the habit of crying easily or trying to commit suicide when things like this happen. So its not real suprize when January began i freaked out like all those times repeating

Just another day

I've been on hormones now for nearly 9 weeks (come Wednesday) and the routine of taking them is firmly entrenched, their effects are most welcome in my life. I'm enjoying the growing mounds under my nightie just before bedtime, the shrinkage of my one testicle is now quite noticeable and with its reduced size is a tendency for it to sit much higher making tucking easier. haven't noticed much in the way of overall body shape change, but I expect that to take much longer before it shows properly.

I Shaved My Legs For The 1st Time

Last night I shaved my legs for the first time...it was actually my gender psychologists's suggestion as a way for me to begin relating to Karen more and spending quality time with "her/me." I loved the experience and wish it was something I've been doing for a lot longer. I tried to do a good job of it and I hope to get better. I also shaved my toes, butt and genital area...felt like I should have gone all the way but it was enough to start. I am really glad I did this. It may seem like sm

A really unexpected change!

A few days ago I noticed a change that I have never read about anywhere. I was expecting the budding nipples and the associated tenderness, the subtle softenng of my face (noticed by a friend last week), and the changing of the body hair (what little there is of it). However I was sitting at my desk at home, with nothing but a nightie on and I noticed the distinct smell of a female vagina. Since I had not seen my girlfriend for some 5 days I knew it couldn't be a residue odour from her. Then I

Wigs + Stuff

I only have one wig and even my psychiatrist says I should have more. I'm so nervous about buying clothes and accesories and being caught by people I know. Most of the saleswomen i deal with in stores are pretty cool though. Very soon for so many reasons I am going to have to swallow my pride and show more courage for my true self. if i am nervous about this kind of stuff how do i expect to handle the ridicule people will direct at me when I am transitioning outwardly/publically?

Happy New Year

First, I'm wishing for your new year to be filled with happiness. I feel respected here. I try to be very thoughtful in every way with everything I write in the message board and here. Many of you have shared yourselves with us. I've offered what I have. Thanks for listening. Wednesday I took the next tiny step on the journey. I've been letting my hair grow off and on throughout my life. When I had to attend a 2 day meeting in D.C. I donated 12 inches of natural brown hair the day befor

2011 - a year of personal changes planned

As many look back at 2010, I decided to write a short update on what I hope to achieve in the coming year. So in approximate order through 2011 Divorce - I've been totally separated for two years com the 5th of January so under UK law divorce becomes a lot easier. I will of course ensure the support for my two children will continue, especially the youngest who is seventeen. GRC - After 2 years of real life experience is up on the 23rd of May I will apply for my Gender Recognition Certificat

The end to a very interesting year

When I think back about the last year, I really can't believe how far I've really come since this time last year. Last year around this time, I was in a committed relationship with a person who I thought loved me for me and accepted all my faults (wasn't the case), I was dealing (not very sucessfully) with my gender identity issue on my own and in my own way, my family life was very stable, and I was working a job that I thought was pretty good and treated me fairly. Fast forward a year and

Mini Panic Attack

Last night was strange...usually dressing makes me feel more relaxed, but instead i was having a mini panic attack and my leg was shaking and heart beat increased. I think it is because the mental aspects of my gender therapy are becoming more intense and ground breaking-- so there is increased fear for me. As always, I hope to gain more courage like so many of you on this site have been able to exhibit.

It's happening, the first good signs

Okay, properly six full weeks into hormones and the 1st small signs of positive change are there. The Zoladex implants have acted first, that was a very welcome subtraction of testosterone, my thoughts are clearer and the annoying male erections are now few and far between, my one testicle (the other was removed when I was about 7 due to medical complications) has noticeably shrunk and now seems to be eager to hide away making tucking much easier. I haven't noticed any skin softening on my bod

Hello

I haven't felt that I had enough to share that I should blog before now. Yesterday, everything changed. I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1973, reenlisted in 1976 and was discharged in 1980. This is also known as part of the Vietnam Era. Until 2004, I'd never investigated the Veterans Administration and benefits available to all veterans. I used the GI Bill benefit to pay for my BSCS because that was a major reason for enlisting in the first place. Moving around the country every few years
