The long awaited update

So yeah, its been a real long time since I put anything here.

As some may be aware, I went to the doctors. I know that I put a post here, when it happened and I think at the time I didn't put my views across very well. However she is one of the best doctors I have had and she put me forward to see the local Psychiatrist, whom I had seen before for other issues.

The day of that appointment comes up. I go from work to the appointment. Again, I think at the time I do a reasonable job of explaining myself. Until about 6 hours later when I am home and able to analyse what has been said. So, I think "Oh Shit, I've fucked that up." From then on it takes a further 3 months for him to write a report on me. Which I get a phone call from my Doctor saying that they are sending it to the Gender Identity Clinic (GIC).

I'm not exactly when but a couple of weeks ago, I received a letter from them. Which stated they had to ask my local Primary Care Trust for funding.

Well today, I received another letter.

"Dear Malename

We are pleased to announce that the PCT has now agreed to fund your treatment in the GIC."

So there we have it, a positive start to the day. It should hopefully get me out of the black mood I was in last night.

Cheers

Re: Understanding

A small update on my life, I visited the ex-housemate during the week. This was originally to pick up a letter. However under politeness, I stayed for a drink and started a conversation. Which lead to my outing myself to her, which she was not adverse to. Infact she was really happy, wanting to take me shopping in the future, as well as hugging me a lot when I was leaving. I did have to explain that it is something I have wanted for a long time. Explaining how much better I feel since making the decision.

The results are in...

And it would appear that I have an honest Doctor. She was purplexed at first when I mentioned it, as it was a shock to her. At least she was upfront in saying that she didnt know how it worked and that she would have to look into it. However it might take around a month for her to get back to me. She seemed willing to help as much as she could and didnt try to expel the daemon from me.

However, I think the bi-gendered bit is fading. As I investigate more and look at items of clothing to wearing that would show off the feminine side of ourself. Such as shoes. Looks like that might be a new thing, even though I have kept to the bare minimum so far in my life.
