Question:

I'm thinking of switching from oral to injectable E. Simple question: is this a kit or are E syringes and needles provided separately?

Tomorrow is my first laser treatment.

I am so excited!!!

So here is my question: Why is it that as transfem and wanting to live a life where I can feel content with myself and live authentically I need to go through a bunch of therapy (I understand the need for doctors to monitor hormones when doing HRT)?

But, my friend who came out as gay isn't required to go to counseling and therapy and basically "prove" he is gay to be able to live the way he wants?

I don't think this is in any way fair.

Anyone have thoughts or comments?

As many of you read in a previous post I asked my wife if she would be open to the idea of me presenting as female. She answered no, and it was like getting hit in the stomach with a bat. I thought she would agree since she has known about me being trans and being on HRT.

After a few days we spoke again and discussed the issue. I explained that I wasn't suggesting that I wanted to fully transition in the very near future. I explained what I was feeling and how I thought I was leaning in my transition. That I was just asking if she might be open to the idea someday down the road, probably months maybe years in the future. I also told her that whatever I did wouldn't involve bottom surgery, since I know she likes that part of me, and honestly I am not disgusted by having it.

The discussion went on for a while and she said that she would be able to accept me like that. She said she supports me 100% and wants me to be happy and happy with my body.

There was also a discussion about my boobs and how I really like them. That was followed by her examining them carefully for a bit and then saying she wants to take me shopping for a good bra. (I said eventually to that since they are still actively growing and changing).

In the end taking time to fully explain myself yielded great rewards.

Thanks everyone who chimed in to the original post for you love and support.
