August 28 2020 - The 17th Month Of Estrogen

Dear Bloggie, it has been a long while since I have updated you on my estrogen-based therapy.

Every 28th day of a month I like to take a moment, at 7 am, while I reach for the magical tiny pills, to smile and hug myself as I did on that day that was filled with trepidation and so much hope, back in March of 2019.

It is a cause worthy of celebration, a milestone, as important, if not more, than even my birthday.

Amidst uncertainties which brought me to even switch a career of 26 years, it was a magical moment when my beloved therapist and the MD agreed that I should start estrogen right away. After a battery of blood tests, I began a journey I marvel at every day. That I find rewarding and absolutely amazing to observe evolve. A body and mind freeing experience second to none. 

I am so grateful that such treatment exists, I wish I could hug and thank those scientists that, in the Forties, were able to discover what later on became this amazing life saving, life betterment therapy.

From the days of overly covering and hiding, from heavy makeup, wigs, and breast forms used to escape as much as possible a non-fitting reality, to today, where the thoughts of being seen wearing male clothing make me shiver and look uncomfortably and shamefully over my shoulders. It is a joyful ride I do not want to ever give up. 

Happy 17th Month on E from me to me.
