Did you watch your dad shave when you were little and wish you could do the same thing? I did.

I ran across this today and thought it might be of some help to the fellows who might be grappling with transition issues. I hope it is of some help.

Thanks theo ... i breezed through it and it actually seemed like a good resource. I don't need it for myself but more and more I'm like the token transgendered person that everyone knows so when somebody comes out to someone whether an adult, small child, or young adult people approach me. So it will be nice to have some tangible resource to give them also.

I finally got a call from my Endo doc's nurse yesterday, after 2 months of waiting. She (the nurse) relayed to me from my doc that my labs that I did a few weeks ago looked fine, and she (my doc) wants me to get another set of labs right away (which I went out and did yesterday after I got the call). Then I am supposed to have another phone appt with her in July. After that I get labs done again in September and have a face-to-face appt with my doc then. The thing that is maddening is that she didn't say anything about a dosage change. I am still on this low dose. So, I asked the nurse to ask my doc about that. Now it's a waiting game again to hear back. *sigh*

Hi all,

Well, as of this Friday it'll be six weeks since I had My gb (gallbladder) surgery so I should be set to call My doc again and begin having My appointments with him again. I was able to have My initial consultation with him before My gb was taken out, and he had already told Me that he would help Me in every wa possible to get on T as soon as possible. I should only need another 3-4 sessions before I'm put on T, so I want to get the ball rolling as soon as I can. I'll be giving him a call tomorrow so I can set up My second appointment, which will be getting My lab work done and talking about My family history of disease and stuff (fun fun).

I've been spending the last three nights or so on YouTube watching videos of guys before and after their transition; pre-T and weekly updates on changes and such, days leading upto top surgery and the results afterwards. Seeing these videos, hearing about various guy's experiences and watching how they interact with certain people around them have given Me the courage to want to begin coming out to more people. I'm ready to take the next step in moving forward, regardless of what others may say ....... bring it on I say, cuz I can't wait
