FTM's and Transitioning

There are no absolutes...

Due to private issues, I must transition a slightly...different..way. For me, rather than just one, it will be two surgeries.

I'd thought to myself on Monday.."need to call the doc to set up an appointment to talk about ....". Apparently when I had my physical last year, I'd already set up this year's appointment and I got a notice of rescheduling.

Therefore, next month I go to the doc, and I will broach the subject for the first surgery.

As for T, my doctors are all through a Catholic hospital. Therefore, I know the chances of finding a doctor to guide my transition are extremely slim. My insurance will cover the first surgery, as it will alleviate health issues. However, I don't wish them to be..suspicious. Later, I will go for T, paying out of pocket as to not have ins involved. I'm hoping the first surgery could possibly be done this summer.

But..won't know more until I see the doc and find out what he suggests.
