Yeah I am going through gender reassignment, I've been on testosterone hormones for just over a year now and this first surgery is my chest surgery, so to get rid of what grew during puberty and to give me a male chest. I will then go on to have genital surgery.

I am transsexual and homoromantic and proud to be.
thanks :) it doesn't feel brave to me, I'm just being myself and living my life as the person I am meant to be.
That is kind of what I mean, I cant imagine being born and growing up in a the "wrong" body (again, sorry if I am speaking out of turn), so I think you are brave and strong for surviving that and fighting for the opportunity to be who you are meant to be
Oliver - its great that you've got the opportunity to have the surgery and treatment you need. I do some campaigning for LGBT people in other countries who have a terrible time. Mind you some of the abuse that's dished out in this country is a disgrace too.
Good to hear that other people have their cuddly friends too! I'd been cuddling a pillow (a habit that I got into after my last surgery to stop me rolling onto the painful side) but its like having a third person in the bed and with two people and a dog its already crowded! Ted spent his first night with me last night and it was definately comforting.
Yes.....that other thread. I've not posted because the advice is so great but......Nuff said.

Niles: I really must go. I'm hosting a seminar on multiple personality disorders and it takes me forever to fill out the name tags.
Tinkles I hope you eventually got to see the psych. Let us know what's happening. Thinking of you
Oliver that's great news that she thinks your stable enough to have the surgery. Sorry your feeling sucidal though, I am glad you don't have a plan though. Please do talk to someone if it gets worse though
How are you Fran?

Hiya guys, Sorry I haven't been around. So much going on...just holding it together.
Oliver..Great news about your surgery. We're here to talk to if your thoughts are too overwhelming. *hugs*
Hiya Fran, Steph, Kat, Mark, Tinkles. Hope you're all ok. *lots of squishy hugs*

Thanks Kat. I'm waiting for my Mum to come. She's taking me out shopping for the day (smiling face at the ready!)
Still trying to write things down for my CPN on Wednesday...it just never sounds right on paper!!
I'm living on energy drinks to get me through the days.

Hopefully going out shopping will be a good distraction although I can understand how draining it is to have to put on a smile. Would it be a bad thing for you to let her know your struggling though? Be careful with the energy drinks as drinking too many can be dangerous
