  Well where to start , I know lots of girls think about where will this go or where will it end . No I don't have any answers for you just a few words from the steps iv have taken in the last few weeks .
  A few weeks ago I finally visited my GP to talk to him about my 40 year struggle with life and my self , oh gosh that makes me sound a bit mad . Bit no im not , we all take steps at different paces so mine must be small and slow may be . Any way i had a long chat with the GP he even printed of the NHS paper on transgender and the local PCT policy for me to read at my leasure . At the end of this he said he would refer me for evaluation at the hands of a non gender psychiatrist . 3 weeks later the day has come and gone so here is the latest .
  Today I spent 90 minuets with a head shrink , he wanted to know my life story what I did for work and all about my past . He even asked why I turned up in fem attire I reply thats who I am and what I am . It seamed like a lot of very good questions followed by me talking away . At the end he said he would write his report and send it to me GP. Oh I thought another long wait in life , then he said do you have any thing you want to ask me .
  I went straight for it and ask what he would be telling my GP . He look very surprised at this but went on to say that as far as he was concerned I should receive all the treatment I need to become the person I portray and my inner self . So that has made me very emotional this evening hence the blog .
  I know I have to wait for the red tape to be done but in the end its more a case that some has said they agree with me in what I am . That is a great feeling and its like having a weight lifted from my shoulders .
  So where next well sit wait and take little steps as iv always done but now with the knowledge the expert agrees with me . I hope this will help some one looking at this road or may be just some one wanting to understand what this is all about . But at the end of the day its about you being you and me being me , so girls be out be proud and most of all be happy with who you are .
