I'm watching Ellen right now....and she's interviewed Constance....the Mississippi lesbian who was told she could not go to her prom with her girlfriend and has received just SO much flack from her peers and others......

Well......what a fine young woman (with a 3.86 gpa, I might add)....accompanied by her supportive Dad!........was just given a $30,000 scholarship and summer internship with Tonic.com ......

GOOD NEWS!

I went to an intake appointment with a doctor last week who runs a trans clinic at a community health center here in My hometown that caters to everyone in the community (including the GLBTQ community). We had our very first session where he asked Me basic questions about Myself like who I am, who I've come out to as being FTM, where I am in My transition etc. We had a good hour long talk, and he has already scheduled Me for a second appointment to get a better idea of My past medical history as well as I'm also getting blood work done so he can check My liver functions, blood sugar, cholesterol, etc. He already told Me that by what we've talked about so far he can already see that I'm good for the Gender Identity diagnosis and by My 4th or 5th visit ~ I will officially be on T injections

He also told Me that in the future he will help Me with all of the paperwork that helps to get My marker changed on My birth certificate, My named changed with Vital Statistics Canada, as well as get Me in touch with surgeons who can not only give Me the hysterectomy that I want but also My top surgery as well

Talk about good news huh?
