An update from me: So...it's been over three years now since I first had my gender revelation. Since then I have had to wait for a private appointment and then a couple of months ago another wait to find another GP surgery that would enter into a shared care agreement with my private provider. But finally, this week, the time has come and I have been able to start. As historians will know, June 6th was D Day. Well, for one trans woman in London, June 6th 2023 was E Day! (Ok, I know us Brits spell it 'oestrogen', but humour me while I self-mythologise!) Three days in and the cool sensation of the gel on my skin is still a novel one. No notable effects as yet, but my mood has lifted. And if the road ahead isn't completely clear yet, it's becoming clearer. Beth x
I'm so sorry it took me so long to say something here, but CONGRATULATIONS!!! Beth, you're such a wonderfully sweet person, I'm so proud to know you and I'm so glad you're taking these big important steps towards the person you're meant to be! Getting to know you and learning about your past and discovering your sense of humor has been a wonderful experience I'm glad to share I haven't shared alone! You're a bright light and a beautiful human being, and I'm overjoyed you're finally moving forward after three long years! Good luck on the rest of your journey and remember you've always got a sister in me!
Thank you Lydia for such kind words, and to all of you who've replied. I don't think I'd have made it this far without the kindness and support that there is on here, every day, 365 days a year. During the dark days of 2020 when I was trying to cope with everything life had thrown at me and digging my way out of a breakdown, EC was a lifeline for me. Sometimes it needs to be said out loud - THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! Beth x
