A Boy in a Dress?

  It's been awhile since I last blogged, and I really haven't felt the need to until tonight. Its been three weeks now since I've started Estrogen. YAY! I haven't really noticed any significant changes. However today when I shaved. I managed to get the closest shave than I ever had before! Minus the first few times during puberty. Apparently the Hormones are thinning out my facial hair already. Though it will take Laser treatments to get rid of it permanently.
  Last week a M-F Woman was in a local DMV and was harassed by its staff. They denied the incident. However I am acquainted with people who have talked with the victim and seen the footage. It did take place. There was harassment involved.   In my Transgender Support Group this evening we talked about this and other related incidents others have had. It made me think. Am I going though all this just to appear as a boy in a dress later on? But than that's not why I am doing this in the first place. I am not becoming a girl to look "pretty". I am becoming a girl because it is me!
  Since I have started Estrogen and the Testosterone Blockers, the Depression I have had my whole life, "and I am not exaggerating that," is gone! For three weeks now I have been depression free verses the twenty nine years that it has stalked and haunted me! I know that this is right for me. The depression leaving had to be some sort of sign. Whether or not my family will see it that way, eh I doubt it. Anyhow This is me and these are my Journeys. Till next time, Safe Travels!
 

The Doctor, The Pills, The Journey

    So yesterday I finally had my second appointment with Dr. Riley. I received my lab results which were better than good she said. My kidney's my thyroid my liver everything! So than we can to the dreaded part, The strip for the physical! That was soon over and she went and wrote me my Prescriptions. Asking all the while if i had any questions or concerns. I did ask and have a couple. Which I addressed and received a moderate response that at least eased them. With my appointment over I head down to the first floor with my Prescriptions Note in hand to the little Pharmacy in St Marks Hospital. Hoping they would have what I needed, and I wouldn't have to find a Smiths or Cosco. They did! ESTROGEN WAS MINE! Sorry for the interruption of my running dialog I just grew overexcited. Buying some Baby Aspirin to help prevent blood clots, stroke and other problems. I took TRAX to the Pride Center and hung out all day. Now and then touching the bottle of pills in my coat pocket. It's still unbelievable that I have finally arrived at this point! It's very exciting. I lost more sleep than usual. I kept waking up in the night know what was awaiting for me in the morning.  
   This Morning, I woke up an hour before my alarm was set to go off. After repeatedly waking up throughout the night. I was done. Doing what I needed to do I headed over to my desk where I had set the two bottles of Estrogen and Blockers. Following directions, and its always important to follow directions. I took my very first dose! I FEEL GREAT!!! Better than great, though I don't believe there is a word to describe just how I am doing right now. It's like I am floating on a cloud. Almost. That isn't quite it either! I just know for the first time in a while I am not feeling depression. That is new for me!
   So here I am now In a different mood traveling a different path than many. It may be a bit more scenic hard to transverse at times, but I am going to continue on down it! I know I am not the only traveler upon it. I am Alice.This is my Journey! I hope yours are Pleasant.
