Tomorrow is the day... unless it snows or an apocalypse spontaneously appears. Hehe
Anyways, if you have been following my mother's blog, you'd know that tomorrow is the day I get my first shot of testosterone.
What I'm feeling is unreal... And the majority of readers who follow this blog will understand what I say WHEN I say... it's like having a baby. (insert nervous laughter) It's scary but exciting at the same time.
I can remember what brought me to the idea of HRT.
One night I was lying in bed browsing youtube, and decided to search transgender (I knew I was trans* at the time but I have this weird thing where I want to know I'm not alone)
What comes up is this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epDPui27QZQ
It's about a MTF girl named Josie. She is 9 years old!
A little later on in the video, Josie goes to the endocrinologist/ nurse practitioner. And they ask about hormones. The doctor decides to put Josie on "blockers". This is the first I've ever heard of the term. So after the video I researched all night about HRT and blockers.
I remember being so envious of Josie, and thinking to myself "Why couldn't have I found out sooner?"
I've come to the realization that EVERYBODY'S journey is different and beautiful in their own way. Some take longer than other's and that's okay. <3
I've decided to make videos to track progress of my voice, facial hair, etc.
I will start these videos tomorrow my appointment. :)
I think this was back in 2010? It's crazy to see how much I've changed. Haha |
