Thanks for reminding me Sara, I just updated this entry to include electrolysis.

Congratulations, Lisa! It must feel fantastic to get that part of your journey started! Best wishes, Sara

Karen, thank you for sharing this information! I notice that you didn't mention anything about the cost of hair removal? I think you may have covered this elsewhere, but I'm not sure, so I just wanted to mention it, since it can certainly add up! Best wishes, Sara

Hi Christie, I think having doubts and second guessing our decisions... ANY decisions... is just part of the human condition. That being said, this: probably says a lot. Best wishes to you, Sara

It is absolutely critical to have those pills dissolve under your tongue else they will be lost to your kidneys, having zero affects. Typically a doctor will begin with a low dosage and have you come back in several months to check your hormone levels and then make adjustments.

Hey Warren, It's great to hear from you. Definitely let us know how it goes with talking to the CEO of that LGBT group. If nothing else it's great to add another link to your network of supporters. Who knows who you might gain a connection to. And, love your photos! Emma

Yes I had to fly there, it cost $147.00.

Thanks for this information! The GRS is clearly my big concern, but at $30,000 I could probably find a way to do it if it comes to that. I assume you had to travel for it? Living in NYC I probably wouldn't have to, so at least I wouldn't have the hotel costs. As far as clothing, I'm pretty well along on that

No need to apologize, Warren. We all feel that way from time to time. Sometimes we just need to rant! But I'm glad to hear that you're feeling better lately, and I'm really happy for you that your sibling is coming down to visit. IIRC, the two of you had a great time together when they were staying with you last time, so hopefully you'll both have a blast together this time, too! Warm wishes, Sara

Dear Lisa, Please consider the Metropolitan Community Church (MCC) that is TLGB friendly. Have had only one person who had a bad experience with the MCC Church. Went to the King of Peace MCC Church in St. Petersburg, Florida, and had such a wonderful experience, I consider it my best church experience in my life. Was on the greeting committee, where newcomers were given red plastic cups at the social after the service. Talked with them for a few minutes to get to know them, and then introduced them to church members who might have something in common with them. Be aware that just because a DENOMINATION is TLGB friendly, does not mean the individual church is friendly. Attended a so-called TLGB friendly denomination church in upstate New York (whose denomination I will not mention) and discovered all the "old-timers" (all Straight, cisgender people) and they were incredibly hostile. Even though the pastor was Lesbian, learned that they went through pastors like water (like one every year!) and she was a nervous wreck, trying not to piss off the old-timers that were on the board and acted like they owned the church. Take your time, and look at several churches, going to several services at each one, then choose the one that best resonates with you and your wife. Yours truly, Monica
