			I have used estrogen patches before, and I ran into difficulties keeping the patch on, especially during hot weather.  I don't know if that same problem might occur with T patches or not, though.

			I didn't know that estrogen came in patches.  Can I ask what you use currently?

			Of course you can ask, Dapper.  I originally started on estradiol, then went to a patch, back to estradiol, and am currently on premarin.  Of course, I am also taking an antiadrogen as well, spirolactenone.  I've never used injectable estrogen, nor the implants that I have heard about.

			There is also a new show on ABC called, "Becoming Us" that is really good so far. I believe it is only 10 episodes. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			It is based on a Chicago area family who's husband/father is transitioning to female and it mostly done from the point of view of the teenage son and his girlfriend who's father is TG. Great, honest conversations without a lot of hoopla. http://www.chicagotribune.com/entert...608-story.html http://abcfamily.go.com/shows/becomi...about-the-show Monday nights, 9pm, but it is also on Hulu

			Watching the last part of the Frontline show mentioned above! 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			I saw it from the beginning and the deal with the very young kids transitioning bugs me, I feel some of them need to grow a bit before they start this journey because it is not easy. That is my take on it.
