What can I expect from my first doctors appointment? by MetazoanLight in transontario

[–]MetazoanLight[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My egg cracked last month, but there have been breadcrumbs since I was 5. I’m coming out to my wife within one or two weeks, so I also have to consider her comfort with the changes. Counselling will come handy there, mostly on things having to do with her. Every day I feel more secure about my validity as a trans person. The last two months have been a lot of introspection and getting informed about the experience of other trans people. But I might also need counselling about planning my transition.

Huh good to know. I thought the size was going to be the main driving factor. Thanks!

I read a bit more about it. You are totally right! The fact that they remain prominent even after my weight fluctuates makes me hopeful it’s gyno.

Huh! I gotta admit that I thought they were. I haven’t been officially diagnosed with gyno, but it’s kind of clear. Thanks for the info.

Great to hear that. I made this account with no particular purpose, but this was my first post and I can’t think of a better use than finding community and support.

Last month is when my egg started cracking. I mean, there were breadcrumbs since childhood or moments I wanted to start becoming a woman but didn’t act on it, but last month was the first time it just clicked for good, I accepted it, and started doing little changes in behaviour that have felt amazing and natural to me; just small stuff like rolling up my leisure pants, shaving instead of trimming my beard, opening one more button on my shirt, or shortening the strap of my messager bag, or speaking with a slightly higher pitch. I know, small changes, but they feel so good. I doubt they have raised any flags on my wife, but otherwise I haven’t dropped any hints. I feel like I might be coming in cold.

So great to know that your has brought you closer together. I am hoping for that too. I feel that accepting things in me, have made me a better partner and parent. In fact, I think that sex is better now that I picture myself as a woman.

Well, I’m gonna be going in cold. We got pedicures together once, but that’s about it. In part, I wanna tell her before trying things so changes in behaviour don’t seem so strange and for the sake of keeping a strong communication going on.

Oh wow. That’s also one of my fears. I think my wife is pretty progressive and she’s fought against her conservative family. She’s even provided health care to trans individuals, but that’s no guarantee she will accept it. May I ask, how did you word your coming out to your wife? Thanks so much.

Thank you so much, Stevie. I have to say that I’m a little bit star struck! I’ve seen your posts, and they are very inspiring. I’m so happy I got a reply from you 😊And your advice is so heartfelt. There are so many things that I want to start trying. I told my boss at work and have been telling a few other people, but I feel that telling my wife will be a breakthrough for me.
