Well, I'm attempting to acquire hormones. I've already gotten some new clothes with my folks, but I can't exactly wear them yet.
The rest of the conversations are just sort of......yeah. Religious debate has lost all appeal, I haven't bothered with dreams in months, and off-topic is just sort of awful. I figured this would be more of an official goodbye once the thread dies.

aww

Double awww that's depressing. It is also depressing that I'm depressed that a girl I hardly know on the internet is going to stop frequenting the forum I am part of...

Will the X and Y chromosomes that you still possess bother you or is it just the psychological and the external appearance you worry about? Also, do you plan to inform any romantic interests of the way you were born?

Nah, the chromosomes don't bother me. It only takes one X chromosome to express the entire set of female characteristics. The Y is the bugger one, but that's going to end up permanently suppressed, so it isn't' an issue.
As for future love interests, I don't think I will. They'll be women, and the tackle I was born with is sort of irrelevant. It's sort of like getting corrective surgery for webbed feet. As far as I'm concerned, I never was a man. There was just penis-having-time, which will soon pass, and it will be a non-issue.

So have you named your penis?

Yes. I call it "this fucking thing". As in, "I'm gonna be so much happier when this fucking thing is gone".

Interesting. I thought you were Marvo (used to get confused between you two a lot) for a second and was wondering how he would look like as a girl haha

Are you going to post before and after pictures? Would be very interesting.

Good luck!

Oh wait, I was thinking about this sort of thing the other day actually.... why would you define yourself as gay?
I saw on the first page that you said you are still attracted to women, and therefore lesbian. But why not straight? Since technically you are a man.

I may be pretty gay, but I'm not that gay.

I think we're all a little gay! (it's DV after all)

lol come on don't be mean to something just because you don't like something, name it.

Heh you could name it Gaddafi and then kill it

When one lives by the sword, exactly what what do you think they die by?

Ah, I don't think I'll post pictures. At least not before ones. I don't have a camera anyway.
Yes, I identify as gay, or specifically as a lesbian to avoid any confusion. I'm more of a lipstick lesbian than anything else, and I like it.

Oh good news everyone, I got hormones today! *squeeee*

The amount of accepting and broad-minded posts in response to this is really pleasing, unfortunately I have a feeling that the dreamviews community is far more liberal than the public in general. Have you encountered people who you're close to who haven't been supportive, and are there people you are worried about telling?

I haven't encountered anyone who was just an asshole about it. My last doctor was clearly uncomfortable with it all, but she tried to do the right thing. She just didn't get it. Oh I suppose the campus "preacher" counts. He's just some nutter with a sign that stands around and bellows hate and brimstone to everyone and everything that isn't white christian male evangelical. Otherwise, everyone has been GGG about it.

I'm not really worried about telling anyone. My extended family is all pretty chill and liberal. Only one set of uncles and cousins is even faintly traditional, and even they stopped going to church recently. And hey, if they can't accept it, fuck 'em. I only saw them maybe three times my entire life.

So what effects have the hormones had on your body? Also what is a lipstick lesbian *gulp*?

That's great news. Especially when your family is very supportive about it.

Oh, I've always wondered why every campus has that one guy who walks around with a sign that says "everyone is going to hell except me." I swear every campus has one.

The hormones take time to work, but so far, my sex drive is way down. I don't know if it will stay there or if it's just in my head, but so far I like it.

Yeah they're everywhere. They're more amusing than anything. I heard him shout out "Don't follow the crowd! Turn to Jesus!" hurr durr. It's fun when some people all come together and sing peaceful songs to him. He gets all worked up when they start singing "Jesus loves us." So damn funny.
