    And.....
    it went extremely well!
    She supported me fully and encouraged me to explore my femininity and let it come out.
    She also prescribed me xanax... to help when im having anxiety from the world.
    She suggested that I seek an endocrinologist to start HRT. She has no problem writing me a recommendation either : ) but she doesn't think I'll need it she said I just need to find a doctor whos willing to do it for me.
    I am so happy now time to slowly let it all out : )
    Im excited and nervous at the same time to tell my friends I think I'm gonna wait a bit
    but honestly it feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders!
    I'm finally letting the real me inside me out and I Couldn't be happier : )
    I just wanna start HRT!!!!!!

    Third star to the right & straight on til morning.
    If you don't mind my asking, was your therapist initially opposed to your (how to say this w/o offending) 'belief' that you needed/wanted gender therapy?

    I'm asking, because my psychologist pretty much just brushed it off and changed the conversation pretty quickly. Called it 'dangerous' to be spending any amount of time on these sorts of websites or whatnot. Don't get me wrong, I went to him for other therapy related reasons as well, but was kinda disheartened by that.
