It's That Time Again

The Self Medicating post seems to have caused a little concern with some of you. I had not considered that it could be interpreted as taking hormones on the sly. I frequently choose titles that overstate the content of the posting, but I'm usually cognizant of the layers. Not this time! The joke was on me. Now, on to today's business...

Yes, it's everyone's favorite day, Therapy Thursday. My favorite, anyway. Not much in the way of drama to discuss today, just the way we like it.

I shared with M how my wife has been so generous of late. I showed off my necklace and bracelet from V-Day, too. M especially liked the bracelet (so do I).

We also talked about the abrupt changes going on with my support group. M has many trans clients, so she is very interested in this. I am confident that the group will come through this crisis, but it may look very different. M told me that the group has had drastic changes several times over the years, typically when a director has left. We talked about M coming to talk to the group some time this year, and about the possibility of starting up a group therapy session at her office.

I think I have made a convert of my therapist regarding epilating. I am so pleased with the lasting results I am getting. I went three weeks in December and January, and I had to look closely to really see the growth. I'll be done epilating for the summer after next Saturday's meeting, and I will miss it greatly. Yet, I don't expect the same trauma that I had last year at this juncture. I know that come next fall, I can be my preferred self once more.

My new skirts will likely arrive at M's office on Friday. Grrr! I was hoping to pick them up in conjunction with my appointment. Best laid plans, and all that...

  1. Take up cycling. Gives a valid excuse for smooth legs in summer. My wife has surprised the hell out of me recently by suggesting I might like to shave my legs, I thought it was a comfort zone issue for her. We both cycle and I think she's been looking around and noticed it's not unusual.

  2. I hope your group survives as I know how important these groups can be.
    You never know, with your wife being increasingly ok with things she may not have a problem with your shaved legs at all.
