This is wonderful! I lived in the DC area for 5 1/2 years and Whitman Walker was a life saver for me.
Best to you!,

: I've been thinking about it nearly constantly
: lately (topping off three years of
: thinking). I talked to Laurie very seriously
: about it this weekend. I have a new plan.

: This Friday, I'm asking my therapist for my
: GID diagnosis/met Standards of Care letter;
: she was ready to write it up for me more
: than a year ago. This Sunday, the DCATS
: meeting is about "Whether to Transition
: or Not." Perfect timing. I'm going to
: talk to Thomas (our facilitator, who works
: at Whitman Walker, our LGBT clinic) about
: transitional counseling. I'm going to set up
: my annual physical at the Transcare Clinic
: there (I'm due). After a clean bill of
: health, I'm going to make an appt with an
: endocrinologist and start low dosages of T.
: Laurie and I have agreed to try it for a
: year or so, and see if I can reduce my
: breasts enough over the course of a year on
: T to qualify for a keyhole procedure for top
: surgery (less invasive-- more like
: liposuction, less nipple relocation). After
: that, we'll reevaluate.
:
: I'm so excited, I can't sit still. My brain
: is whizzing. I'm smiling all over.
:
: Honestly, watching Chaz Bono was the thing
: that finally gave me the resolve to move
: forward again.
:
: I just can't wait any longer. I hope to have
: my endo appointment some time in December or
: January.
:
: Oh. My. God. I'm moving again!!!!!
