Remember that progress is measured only by you and no one else.
With that being said, keep moving forward.
Bravo on everything. :O)"

It took some time but my GP finally got more comfortable with the HRT process. After all the anxiety leading up to this point when my Spiro script arrived yesterday there was no hesitation as the next step in my journey easily slipped past my lips.Getting an appointment with the endocrinologist is a feat, they did call for my initial appointment quickly but they are booked out to October. That will give the spiro, and myself, time to absorb and progress further down my path.See More

February 2013, unfortunately one of my better ones. Someday maybe I will take a good picture.
Sharon Rose commented on Michelle Wolf's blog post The Terror...Or What Trans Call Life Before Transition"Wonderful topic Michelle.
For years I was haunted by nightmares of people searching for myself and a woman, these seemed to last all night long. In the end I would somehow discover that the woman was me. These were some of the most…"

- 100 Words About Me:
- I've been back and forth along this path for the last few years, unable to summon the courage to break out of my self built prison. Financial difficulties and work slowed my last step further down the path but I am heading back to therapy and will see where that leads me.
I have been aware of my female side since I was six, although I didn't see it as being different at that time. I enjoyed those feminine things during my early years, nail polish, ironing, kitchen play. By 10 or 11 I began trying to mask my male characteristics and was entranced by the Renee Richards story and the possibility of changing myself. I suppose that should have been the second clue.
I have built my prison and dutifully filled those societal expectations but am reaching that point where there are far fewer days ahead than there are behind me and I am not certain I can put off the inevitable any longer.

HRT and Anxiety

Back to the therapist I go. After another round of stuffing my true self into the background I am back to therapy. We were discussing the cost of HRT and I brought up whether it was covered under my insurance. "You need to be on HRT", was her response. Yes I do, the confirmation doesn't change the level of anxiety that comes with the prospect of transitioning. This was the answer to the question I have been asking myself all these years and yet the trap that I have set is a difficult…

Well, my therapist has started calling me Sharon and agrees that I have probably been Sharon since birth. Now what? I don't know that I can survive the seven years till my youngest makes it out of HS, not even sure I can make it through the summer without doing something to give myself away. All the guy stuff if really getting on my nerves lately. Nothing that a little shopping wouldn't cure if I could get the chance.
Hugs,
Sharon

Well here is the more to come, though it is on a rather different track than my last entry it is a share that has impacted my life in numerous ways, not all of which I understand or am even aware of I'm sure. I share this in the spirit of journaling and because I have found so many dear sweet women here that I feel that I am amonst friends where I can share the joys and sorrows that we all have in our lives. I chose the title from an old ELO song due to the subject matter, more akin to a line… Read More
Where did I come from?

So there were the early feelings of attraction to feminine things. Maybe around first grade I remember wanting to be the girl on Big Valley, (Duh! Linda Evans, who didn't want to be her). I remeber convincing my mother and her friend to let me borrow a wig and a skirt, looking back I still don't know how. I always got along well with the girls in the neighborhood and we would play together with dolls, or house. As the boy I always ended up being the husband but once in a while I would get to be… Read More

Suzi Jet said… - Dear Sharon,
Please do try to join us. It is usually a fun night and totally safe and accepting environment.
Saturday was our first day with the Vortex 2 project (watch the WX channel) and we actually had some action (which was nice because it has been the slowest season in 40 years.) Tracilyn and I saw a storm near Ogallala, Nebraska Sat. but no tornadoes. The cell was big but no one saw anything that would qualify it as a supercell, which requires rotation. We took some acoustic data. Time will tell if we got anything worthwhile, but given that they had only seen one good storm this season, it was a good day.
Sunday was a quiet day with no good possibility of storms so the decision was made to make it a travel day to be in place for possible action on Monday. We were moving from North Platte, NE to Amarillo, TX., but my friends stopped me short in Guymon, OK (about an hour north of Amarillo.) They think there is a higher probability here. We are only along for the ride so where they tell us to be we will be.
Turns out the Amarillo location was good and we actually say a good bumper east of there in Childress. Unfortunately, conditions weren't right for it to do anything useful. Anvil went up and formed but it was perfectly symmetrical because there were no good upper level winds. It dumped a little rain and went away. May be another shot tomorrow.
Love,
Suzi
