Hey everyone. I've decided I want to share some news.
It's time I get back on the path to being me :)
Not that I was ever really off it, but while I had transitioned in my life previously, I de-transitioned when Kim got sick.
I was her primary Power of Attorney, and having to deal with showing my ID to hospitals and Doctors constantly took it's toll, and so I just started dressing "drab" to make life easier, and after she passed, I hit such a depressive hole, that I'm surprised I'm still here :P
When I met Amy way back in 2012, she knew about me, and moved in fully knowing "me" and things were good. When the NinjaBaby was born, we (read as I) decided to not disclose my being T to Amy's relatives because I didn't want to complicate their relationship with him. With my Mom and Step Dad having passed, and no real relationship at all with my Biological Father I wanted our Ninja to have a grand-parent and extended family relationship.
So the Ninja is 6, and he knows all about me. He refers to me as Meme (read as May-May) or Piper, and understands that I am a Girl inside, even if my body looks otherwise. He get's confused about why I use the "boys" restroom when I'm not taking him to the potty, but that's getting a bit deeper than I feel I need to dwell with my 6 year old. :)
But back on topic, I recently started seeing a new doctor at a GLBT clinic here in NJ. Last night after discussing my recent blood work, and signing the informed consent form, my doctor called in a prescription to my pharmacy. 2.5mg of Estradiol (via 0.5ML of Sub-Q injection) every 2 weeks. I asked about and chose the Sub-Q injection because I have weight issues that are currently causing issues with my Liver being irritated, and I wanted to put as little strain there as possible.
So while I never actually "stopped being me", I have hopped back on the forward path, to being "me" on a permanent basis. We are working on a plan for disclosing to family and friends (those that don't know, because many do and support us) and honestly, everyone else (Including the Ninja's School) already knows.
N-E-Ways, now I go back to editing vacation pictures, working on the TopShelf Server Move, and waiting for the Pharmacy to get their delivery today :P

How does that work?
I'm taking 8 mg per day, but orally. (Yes, it's a prescription.) Is injection really 100 times as effective as oral?
To thine own self be true.
And it shall follow as night unto day - - - - - - - - -, (and so on). Polonious's advice to Hamlet in the play of that name.
Best advice I ever read but I was in my twenties before I read it and already wondering where my life was going. Yes it can be a strange and winding path.
Good luck old girl.
Yay!
I am so happy you get to finally do this, and become who you truly are. I love you for all the days, and am honored to call you my wife.
Xoxo,
Amy
