All Change!!

Ok well it is December 2010,

I have decided to re- start my journey of a Female to Male ( FTM), with much support from my other half and the immense support of her family and mine, and not forgetting our friends , it got to a point where I felt totally miserable and unhappy and just could not face the next day of being the female Kris, when all I am doing is longing and yearning for the male Kris to begin. The wait is agonising and quite frankly has made me more and more depressed as the days and weeks and months have gone along.

After much discussion with Nicky ( My Fiancée) and after eventually building enough courage to sit down with the children, to discuss it with them and to see how they felt about it, it was actually more agonising for me than them, they were totally cool and very sensible and asked all the right questions, which I hope we answered for them. It appears that if you have read my earlier blog , that my niece already kind of figured out what was going on and she said " I Dont want you to give up for me, I want you to be happy too" those few words showed me that this girl loves me ,and how I didn't cry at that stage I Dont know, my stepdaughter( to be) was totally amazing and considering that she is 11, showed me she has a huge amount of maturity at such a young tender age.

Of course I know there are going to be huge challenges ahead for them, in the months and years to come, but I honestly feel with such love we all have between us, and with an open dialogue and with any questions and concerns they have , there is nothing this little family can overcome. I think I just made this wall for myself that truly never needed to be there, and the sense of relief was immense, what more can I say, I mean I am truly blessed to have such wonderful kids and such a supportive partner, a very lucky guy!

So the next obvious step was then to go and see my GP, again he was utterly fantastic and stated in no uncertain terms that he would support me all the way, as his first patient with Gender Identity Disorder ( GID) , he obviously didnt know what to do regarding funding and testosterone etc, but told me he would find out, and get in touch with me, the following day I went back to the doctors surgery to have some routine bloods done for my RA, and there on the screen was what I have been looking for , GID on the screen, it was official it was back in play, and even tho I must have looked like a mad person, I was sat in the chair whilst having blood drained out of my arm, I was smiling ear to ear, it was a fabulous feeling!, the long and the short is that I am waiting for an appointment to come through from the gender clinic, where hopefully fingers crossed they will tell me what the next step is.

Anyway it is happening and I cannot be more happier, my partner obviously has her own concerns which of course I totally respect so she has started her own blog to speak about how she feels, and I am sure she will speak openly and truthfully and will hold nothing back.
I am very much looking forward to Christmas with my girl and the kids, and for the first time in a long time cannot wait for tomorrow to take shape.
