First I just wanted to thank so many who have written with concern over my last post. As I stated before I went to a work dinner and was confronted by a very nice woman asking if I was transitioning to female. I was somehow unaware how much my looks had changed even as a man. Well reality pretty much smacked me in the face. When I returned home that night and the next day my Wife was super supportive and let me talk things out with her. In the end she made me feel much better and encouraged to continue on. It was kind of interesting though, I did see two dynamics working in my wife. The first night after getting home my wife was only positive and comforting..saying she loved me as a boy and as a girl.. telling me it would be ok if I stopped but it would be such a shame because I am so pretty now.. that God wouldn't have given me such feminine attributes if he didn't want me to use them.
The next day however something interesting happened.. we were sitting on opposite couches drinking our morning coffee when I suggested to her that maybe I should stop the hormones and go back to mostly being a guy.. she sat back almost shocked and said very sternly.. actually interrupting me before I finished speaking.. "NO.. we won't be doing that".. well then I was kind of shocked, I honestly didn't know that she felt so strongly about this but obviously it is much more important to her than I thought. In the end, I am happily back on track and feeling fine now, thanks again!!
I'm glad you're feeling fine! Reading about this morning conversation intrigues me - how did the hormones even get started? Do you recall whose idea it was? Sorry if it seems like prying. I can remember, though, when you were using the RealBreast and I don't recall you writing about a decision to try this other level, which must have been a fascinating choice.
ReplyDeleteHi Gary,
DeleteYou are not prying at all. I have not talked about the hormones directly because I was worried that they are so strong and its such a big step that I didn't want anyone to take it lightly or necessarily as an endorsement of taking them. I have been on HRT since Dec.18th of last year so almost a year and 5 mos. I think it was a mutual idea and decision to start HRT. Although if I did want them I also for sure waited for my wife to suggest it first as I wanted to be sure it was something she wanted for her and not just for me. So to answer your question she first suggested it and I agreed. I had been spending more and more time as a woman and we were both enjoying it very much and she said that she would love if I had real breasts and a more natural form. I think there were many reasons behind our choice and if anyone would like to ask specific questions I would gladly answer, as well as any questions on my personal experience with hormones. Thanks Gary! By the way, I am under the care of three doctors as well as my wife being a health care professional. Don't take hormones lightly!
I also wanted to add that my wife sternly telling me I was not going off hormones was not a matter of domination, she told me she was concerned about my health, stopping suddenly and maybe starting again but she also said that she had been so happy with my developement and our relationship since hormones that she just really was upset for a second that she would lose that.
