As for the work situation - no one has said anything. All they would know anyway is that I've been diagnosed with GID (gender identity disorder) anyway, so it's not like anyone could do anything to me. As a helpful person on the Bigender.new forums pointed out to me, there are no laws protecting trans people from being fired just for being trans, so coming out at work ain't gunna happen.
I had my first appointment with the gender therapist and she is wonderful! She has apparently delt with the VA beffore and she has put me on the fast track to getting HRT. My first appointment with the endocrinologist is December 20th. According to the woman I spoke to at the clinic the second or third appointment will be when I get my prescription.
I had a weird episode where I woke up as Page and I was stuck in female mode all day. Now when I'm Page I feel like I want to spend the rest of my life as a woman, and due to the fact that I couldn't switch back I started to think that I was transgender and that I was going to have to start planing my transition. (If you haven't noticed, I can get very neurotic when I'm in girl mode.)
The next morning I woke up in guy mode and as always, I couldn't figure out why the hell I thought that way. Some people on the boards have had similar situations, one person going into female mode for weeks at a time for example, and their advice was very helpfull to me.
I met with the UCSD researchers again today and I guess that they're going to do some tests on me, which I think is supper neat. FOR SCIENCE!
Final note, I've just learned what Pansexuality http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pansexuality means and that's apparently what I am as opposed to being bisexual as I've been describing myself up to this point. Gender is pretty much irrelevant to me and the penis and vagina are just two sex organs you do different things to in order to make them feel good. Yeah, more labels, but labels help us to communicate who we are to one and other in the most simplest terms.
OK! I think I've covered the most important stuff that's been going on. I promise to update more often.
