I decided after a lot of serious thinking (and discussions with my wife) that I wanted to begin Hormone treatment,The reason being that the more people I tell about my transsexuality, the more Shania wanted to be complete,and wanted the life that had been taken away from her all these years. After all these years of being hidden away in the darkness she was now able to be seen, I was now able to "be myself" and not have to act the part of a male,and not have to crossdress as a one (as that is what I have been doing all my life). The questions i had now were.......where do I go ?.......and what do I do ? and what kind of hormones are right for me ? and how will i get them ? and what do they cost ? etc... etc....
I still had one BIG problem to overcome too ...and that was that I still could not tell "certain people" about my transsexuality so this meant that whatever results i started to get from the hormones , I would need to be able to cover up,or at least have a really good excuse for the physical changes. To my dissapointment I found out that the best doctor to go to who specialized in Andrology/Transsexuality etc..had stopped taking new patients , he was just concentrating on the people he already had as he was cutting down his work load. A friend of mine however was a one of his patients and begged and pleaded on my behalf for me to be able to get an appointment with him.(I was told by her that he had a fully booked appointment list for over half a year ahead !so that even if he did decide to see me it would not be for a very long time !) A few weeks went by and i was feeling really dissapointed and was sure that he would just forget about me, so I came up with a plan (the cunning Shania enters the building) ;) I decided to send him a nice email simply saying that I really really hoped that he had time to fit me in, in the not too distant future as Im was very unhappy in my present situation. Then (and now comes the cunning part) I decided to include a photo of myself ,as i remembered that on a lot of occasions the transsexual people i had seen often did not have the outward looks to "fit with" the girl inside, they were more like the "Hairy arsed truck driver in a dress" type ! please understand that I certainly do not intend to bring these people down with that last comment as those girls are just as much women as any of us,BUT... I saw it as my chance to get in to see the Doc ! I figured that the Doc quite often had a difficult task ,kind of an uphill battle to help make these very male looking people into the feminine beauties that lie within, but mother nature had given me a very slim,almost hairless blonde feminine look from birth and I figured that if he saw that then it might sway his decision in my favour........ IT WORKED ! After only a couple of days I was contacted by him and got my first appointment to go and chat with him ! YIPPIE !!!!!!
- That most Transgendered or transvestite people are not gay ? people automatically think that if you are dressing as a woman (for whatever reason) then you MUST be gay, This is not so.In fact a lot of transsexuals (male to female) even after their "sex change" are "lesbian" and are only attracted to women ! or they remain happily married men !.
- It has been documented in a Trans related report that left handed people are much more likely to be Transgendered or Transvestite !

- That one of the main differences between transsexuals and transvestites is that a transvestite person dresses mainly for the "kick" or "feel" of wearing womens clothing, often it is for sexual purposes,and therefore they wear a more sexy type of clothing ,The transvestite is quite often turned on by the thought or Thrill of wearing womens clothing.The Transsexual on the other hand wears womens clothing because... They are women ! maybe not outwardly but most certainly inwardly, so they wear what feels "right" !........There is a Trans related joke which goes....In a room full of Transvestites and Transsexuals,How can you tell them apart ????......The Transsexuals are the ones in the jeans and T shirts !
- It has also been reported that babies who´s mothers were under a lot of stress during pregnancy or the actual birth were much more likely to have Trans related children.
- The X and Y chromosomes are responsible for either girls or boys,Girls have two X chromosomes (one from daddy one from mummy) While the Boys have an X from mummy and a Y from daddy ,so males are XY and females are XX.Transsexual people can quite often have XXY.
The popular Hormone PREMARIN would not be so popular with Transsexuals if they knew where the word PREMARIN comes from ! It actually comes from the first few letters of the contents of the pills PREgnant-MARe-uRIN !!!! YEP its made from horse piss ! - That one of the main differences between transsexuals and transvestites is that a transvestite person dresses mainly for the "kick" or "feel" of wearing womens clothing, often it is for sexual purposes,and therefore they wear a more sexy type of clothing ,The transvestite is quite often turned on by the thought or Thrill of wearing womens clothing.The Transsexual on the other hand wears womens clothing because...
