birthday girl

-
OMG  Is it only 5 days till my birthday,this year will be a very positive and happy time i am so looking forward to celebrating my birthday maybe that's simply because i am 50 or maybe cos i am finally happier than i have ever been before in my life now i am the woman i was born to be,and i am being my true self,yes its taken longer than some people but i finally got here and moving forward in life,i will not say every day is easy as there are days when i struggle with little things but i have learnt to do things differently,and i also know that i have some truly amazing friends who are with me every step of the way on my journey into womanhood,i keep receiving so many compliments and positive comments on many things which boosts my confidence and i do need to keep pushing myself and keep up all the good things i have done in the last 12 months.

My friend Naseem complimented me on being helpful and wanting to help others whether that's through my blogs,biography or just offering advice it could also be something as simple as listening to someone,being helpful comes from when i was younger and trying to work out who i was and why i was feeling the way i was and the feeling of being so isolated and alone and not knowing who i could talk to or even how to explain my thoughts feelings and being so confused,we are talking late 70's even 80's when even less was known than it is today,for me it has to be just saying that there is someone who will listen,will try understand even explain and the biggest positive has to be that there is someone there and you are not alone and no matter what you will get the help and support you are looking for regardless of time of day or night,i was very honoured that i helped others last year and could give them advice and make a difference to their lives,knowing that they are not alone can be one of the best things ever,but also knowing they will not feel so alone like me is one of the reasons why i am always willing to help in any way i can.

I have now had my 3rd laser hair removal treatment at Arden Clinic in Bradford which was done by the lovely Naseem Shah not sure if i was looking forward more to my treatment or getting to see my friend Naseem again,i was a little sore and red afterwards but thats to be expected,now i am hoping after my latest treatment i will make a huge difference especially to the amount of shaving i have been doing and will mean i only have to shave no more than a couple of times a week which will give me a lovely boost,my skin is changing for the better and have had many compliments on how well my skin looks,the hormone therapy is going very well and the gender gp is really pleased with last set of blood test results,i am now looking forward to a future which i could only have dreamed of a few years ago,believe in yourself and you can achieve anything you want,i am truly truly blessed to have the circle of friends i have who have been nothing but 100% supportive something i never thought possible in the past.

Here's to the next 12 months and the positive changes i have to look forward to and to my 50th birthday next week.

Lots of Love

My Transition

-
I have come so far in the last 12 months,I have to pinch myself to believe it's all true am not sure you could make this up if you tried,yes I am happier than I have ever been and have so many people to say a massive thank you to,I hope I will get the chance to say thank you to all the lovely friends who have been so wonderful and supportive. Unfortunately there is still so much discrimination about that there is still so much work to do we cant stop helping,teaching,explaining and answering the questions we get asked,maybe the reason why I am not getting any work thru agencies right now is because I am trans but that does not stop me from being a hard worker or reliable and honest that should be a positive for any agency knowing you can be who you are without any problems. Now I hope that I will start getting work again and earning a decent wage to support myself and help with my transition.

3 Years and counting

-
It has now been over 3 years since i started my transition and i have come along way in the last 3 years that even now i pinch myself and not sure where the time has gone but also look back and see how much i have changed in so many ways, the changes aren't just physical either which i have not thought too much about and let the hormone therapy do what its meant to do that i have been more patient than ever in life and was never known for being patient with anything as anyone that really knows me will testify to. The last 12 months have seen some of the more obvious changes which i knew about with the information i was given when i started,with the hormone therapy i am on everything happens at its own speed and not expecting too much too quick it is not a miracle cure and they take time to work,changing my testosterone blocker from a tablet taken every day to an injection done by a nurse at my GP's every 12 weeks has meant i don't have to remember take a tablet or try to th

even more surprises

I have been debating for the last few days on what my next blog should be about and whether to start doing a more daily or weekly blog like a diary version but online,and will leave that up for discussion as for now personally will write as and when but as have been ill for most of the week and finally starting to feel like a human being again,i am now up for writing this blog. I have to say that as important as it is to hopefully change how people perceive anyone that is trans and living in the gender they should have been born in,i know from personal experience that i also should think or start to think differently and not just assume or expect the worst when i get so many surprises from so many different people who may only meet me the once,there are times when i need to change how i think instead of expecting the worst just go with it hold my head high and smile,i got in a lift a couple of weeks ago quite late and was after midnight and there was someone in the lift who i didn
