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!
