What a long strange trip it is!

Something like a growth and progress diary [Great just what a grrl needs, another diary to write in!] that will include flashbacks and pointers to other relevant materials. Something like a "Stream of consciousness" with a moving target. This is as much about my growth and recovery as it is about sharing parts of myself with other people who may have been through similar things. No matter what you've been through, or where, or when, know that you are NOT alone!

Post-op!!!

I'm not completely anatomically correct yet, but legally ever more I've made the crossing. I have to fill in a bunch of what's happened over the last several months, but I thought I'd drop in a quick note. For more information about the surgery, take a look at:

More to follow shortly . . .

Finally!

I'm in the land of brotherly love today for one simple, but profound purpose, to have two of the three anomalies removed. In a few hours from now I'll be legally female for the rest of my life, and any hope of children, flesh of my flesh, gone!

I'm here in Philadelphia to have the nasty little "T" factories surgically removed. If I actually were a guy, it would be castration, having the testicles removed. I'm not however and this isn't. Three hours from now, I'll be finished, I'll have had my first surgical experience in my life, and oh what a surgery it will be!
