Some of you might have noticed that my forum name has changed and I think I'd better explain a little bit about it.
Later this month I will start on a 2 year 'real life experience' as part of my transition from male to female. A little after this I hope to be referred to a 'gender identity clinic' and to eventually undergo surgery in about 3 years time. I'm what some people call a m2f transgender and I'm diagnosed by the medical profession as having 'gender dysphoria'. (I actually don't like the diagnosis as it infers that I have a mental health issue but the diagnosis is required to be referred to the GIC.) According to the medics I have had GD since very early childhood. All of my family and close friends know and are generally supportive - my sister's boyfirend is an exception, he wants to help me to visit a hospital. As part of my preparation for referral I'm now changing all of my social media stuff (facebook, forum names all of htat) to my new status and legally changing my name by deed poll and statutory declaration so that I can change my driving license, passport, bank details and so on. There's a whole lot of paperwork that I'm presently wading through! If anyone has any questions about my transition do ask and I'll try and answer. If anyone is upset, annoyed or disgusted by my transition all I can say is sorry and that this is something that I must do. Before I forget - my chosen name is pronouned 'Seer Sha'. It's an Irish name from just after the 1916 Easter Uprising in Ireland and it means 'freedom' and 'liberty'. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

Thanks again everyone .
jstcrn - yes I would always expect and want an honest response from you - it's one of the things that I like and respect about you . My answer - after a little over 20 years together I've never cheated on my spouse. Regardless of that she has decided that she does not wish to support me on my journey. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

For what it's worth - my now 'ex' knew I was transgender and wanted to transition from when we first met 20 odd years ago. In fact my 'ex' repeatedly promised me that she would support my transition if I 'just waited another year' - for 20 odd years. That I want and need to transition was never a secret. I am now in my 50s and every year makes transition physically for me more difficult simply because SRS means major surgery. A referral this year to a GIC means that if I am lucky that I may have SRS in 3 years time, when I will be nearly 60.
