Just a question, do you fancy girls or do you still like boys? You don't have to answer , I was just curious
And Louise, that is fine :-) Just make sure you are happy, thats is all that matters right now

I'm glad that things are going as you want them to and that everyone is being supportive :-)

I have a few friends with contacts for good support groups, if you want me to look any of them out just let me know, here or by PM.
Good luck, it's not an easy road. x
I agree with you would do better to learn something about Gender Dysmorphia before making any further comments, otherwise you come across as a fool.
Why don't you wear that really nice outfit you planned a couple of weeks back? When you went to the movies I think. That sounded lovely!
And, let us know how the doctors goes. Don't worry about it, everything will go great

Now the day has arrived i do actually feel sick with nerves i can't even eat this morning.
I know there is no point getting worked up but i need to hear some positive news today i really need things to move on.
I finally chose an outfit i did'nt want to go over the top "girly" but at the same time i don't think turning up in jeans will impress my gp either, so i have gone for a short denim skirt, thick black tights , a yellow top with a loose fitting belt that has a pretty bow shaped buckle and my light brown uggs (fake uggs to be honest )
There are so many things to consider and think about i could probably sit here all day sharing my thoughts but dont worry i wont torture you all with that.
And feel free to share your thoughts on here, its what its here for
I wish I could help, or have something constructive to say but I just want to say how much I have enjoyed reading your story and experiences.
The only thing I can say is, I wish you all the best and I hope you get the outcome your after.
Me too! I read this thread and found it really positive and uplifting, it made me smile. I think you're doing amazingly, you have so much courage and are determined to do whatever it takes to be true to yourself and the person you are truly meant to be, even if it's painful and difficult. That's awe inspiring. Most people don't have that kind of courage.
Loads of luck, and do keep posting about your progress, if only to keep inspiring other people!
Hope everything goes well, let us know.

P.S. What shops do your clothes come from?
Hey Louise :wave:
I know I haven't posted in here before, but I have been reading and I agree with what Hellfire has said.
You are amazing
Your outfit sounds lovely too.
That proves you really are a girl, Louise. What (straight) guy would consider what to wear as a dilemma when going to see the doctor?
Basiically my blood test showed i do have a high level of estrogen and a low level of testosterone which i think is fantastic :yippe:
My gp thinks she would like to investigate the cause incase there is any underlying health problem that is causing this, she syas that there is no doubt this has caused my boobs to grow and the rest not to develop as nomally again i feel this is great news more estrogen = bigger boobs and smaller thingy all seems good to me:)
Thankfully she agrees that it is not her decision to diagnos Gender Dysphoria and that it could well just be a coincidence.
I was hoping to get refered to a specalist Pyschiatrist straight away but that did not happen she wants me to go back yet again in another month she has then promised to refer me (i hope she keeps her promise) if i still want to go down that road :banghead:
She was impresed with how i have been spending time and going out as Louise and said there was obviously no problem with me living that role as i looked like a typical teenage girl
So thats it really another month then i hope to be refered and on the assesment programme which takes about 6 months so nothing is going to happen just yet.
Thanks but you have nothing to be jealous of i promise.
I get a lot of my stuff from Top Shop , River island . Boohoo and ASOS but i am not a clothes snob i often used get bits in peacocks or george as their changing rooms were easy to use because they sold men and womens things,i still like george mainly for undies they have really prety ranges and sooo cheap, but now i love the high street just looking around and trying things on but i guess mostly Top shop or online it would be Boohoo. (Plus my sisters wardrobe)
Remember to keep us updated, and to keep posting. I really think it's fabulous you are comfortable with who you are, it isn't whats on the outside that counts. It's how you feel inside, that's what I think anyway. As someone else said, look back at your old posts, you've done really well.

Wow i think that is my first sexist comment
Off to walk past a couple of building sites now :flirt:
Just a message of support from South London. I have had difficulty with my gender growing up and at times still do... I guess I have figured for me at least, that my gender is fluid. I feel neither male, nor female, but whilst I occasionally bind my breasts, I don't feel I'd like surgery or hormones.
have you heard of Kate Bornstein? She writes for young transgendered and gender fluid people and is a trans activist.
Her blog
Youtube vid of her here (not safe for work)
I can recommend you a book, but some of the chapters can be sexually explicit. It explores gender identity and fluidity. Pomosexuals
If you're based in London, I can recommend you some places which do events friendly of all genders. Some may be 18+ events however.
His attitude has not changed one bit since i was younger he hated me then and he still does, he told me that if i went any further with this then we were finished for ever there would be no way back and he would never acknowlegdge me again.:crying:
He syas he can put up with me "dressing up" now and again but says i should realise that i am sick and need to get help to straighten out my head.
All i am doing is disgusting all the family and close friends and he doesnt want it spreading further.
Then he starts on mum slagging her off saying its her fault for not stopping this years ago when it started, he is such an ignorant dick.
For first time in months he has put doubts in my head am i being selfish and hurting everyone i care about, maybe i need to move away and do this on my own.
I wanted to say "well fuck off cause i hate you to, you have never been there for me so why do i care what you think."
But as usual i back down because im to emotinal and would just cry and in truth i do care what he thinks still its to late now he has hurt to much so thats that.
Sorry just a rant !
