Hello. My name is Misty. I live in Traverse City Michigan. I have been on HRT almost 13 Yrs now. I started HRT when I was 24 yrs old. I am 35 Yrs old now. The transiton prosses has been a long hard struggle for me. Yet I am the happiest I have ever been in my life but yet on the other hand it is hard on me cause I get no support from my family. I am on only child. I told my parents I wanted to Transition a Yr before I got on HRT. They took it really hard. They fight me evey step of the way. I am still a work in progress. I have had no sugerys done. I live my life for me and not anybody else. A few Yrs agao I finally got the F put on my ID. That was the happiest day of my life. What more can I say. I have some great and supportive friends who love and accept me for who I am.
Comment by HELEN BRADY on August 12, 2012 at 6:26pm Hi Misty; You are a brave woman. I truly wish that I had been made aware of who I really was much earlier in life.
I really understand the happiness part. I transitioned to f/t in one day when I was 72 when I realized I had always been a female person. And I have never been happier in my entire life. The day I got the F and my new name on my DL was a real high for me; then a few days later entering the hospital as female, I guess the first thing I did as a female. It infuriates me that the medical professionals still want to use male pronouns unless we have SRS. I am fully a woman whether I have it or not.
Sorry to hear that your parents haven't yet come around but I am thrilled that you have learned to be happy without their support. Best to you, Caroline
Comment by Galina Edwards on August 12, 2012 at 9:05pm Misty you have made your transition by your own will and I congratulate you. You are young and you have the power of a woman. Go forth and conquer.
Good for you, Misty. I am also what seems like a careerist on hormones. I think you are incredibly strong for standing up for yourself and I hope that your wishes and goals all come to pass. Mine has been an equally rocky road, but I'm a generation up on you. If you ever have any questions about surviving yourself and I can help, feel free to get in touch.
*HUG*

Comment by lynn nickols on August 14, 2012 at 6:22am Hi Misty My name is Lynn I live in Arizona I have been on HRT for year and a half I am 24 7 I have a friend of mine that is moving to Mich She wants to Change her gender marker on DL How hard is it in MIch to do that?
Comment by Misty Hatch on August 14, 2012 at 7:26am Lynn. Not that hard. She has to have either breast implants or legal name change or GRS or letter from Dr. But she has to have proof of any of the things I suggested. She has to get a form from the DMV If she is going to get letter from Dr.
Comment by Erin Detty on August 31, 2012 at 3:29pm I have two sisters that are real nasty about it but that's alright they have always been like that. Its good that you have such wonderful supportive friends who love you, that's all anyone of us really need.
Comment by Marsha M. Marsha on August 31, 2012 at 6:07pm You said it all: be true to yourself. It isn't being sefish, it's living in the truth, which makes us free.
