So here I am, it must be 10 months now since I began to transition. There's a way to go, I know but things are going well. I never even dreamed things could be so, well for want of a more exciting word, normal.
Work is great, even though the management has changed. I recently got a letter thanking me for all my effort and support to my workplace at a community centre. I'm feeling really settled there and my productivity has gone up expeditiously!
Medical support is slow to come. I'm hoping that my next appointment will end my wait for HRT and I will get referred for help with my voice. I have just begun lazer hair removal on my face and neck, which I paid for myself.
My hair is looking so much more feminine and I had my first cut and blow-dry a week or so ago.
I'm out everyday either working, shopping or socialising. I do still get misgendered at times, I think the voice in particular naturally triggers this response. I handle this ok now and keep things friendly, often just smiling and saying 'actually my name is Andrea'. It feels hurtful still but usually this hurt is unintentional.
Probably the most surprising thing is I went on my first date a few days ago. Not only was he a total gentleman, he's also taller than me and I have to tip toe to kiss him.
I am starting to enjoy life and feel good about myself Xxx
