• The next step

  by Elizabeth (Liz) June 2, 2016
  In March this year I finally graduated out of Charing Cross GIC. I was so thrilled to be referred for surgery but then I realised I was at the back of another painfully long queue. Fate put me in touch with a wonderful woman who had her surgery with Dr Suporn in Thailand. Her girlfriend had her surg...

• Being Dad

  by Elizabeth (Liz) October 28, 2015
  A month ago my wife moved out into her own place, I was looking but a flat next to her best friend came up so that was that. Our son, my son has stayed with me most nights which I love. He's a daddy's boy and despite my changes, he still wants to be with me. We do lots together, swimming, cinema, sh...

• Hormones 15 weeks - a very short update

  by Elizabeth (Liz) October 18, 2015
  This will be very short, but I had to say it...today I ditched my bra for the first time and braved the world with my hormone induced bosom. Small though they are, I did actually feel confident and it was lovely to just wear a top without any scaffolding. Happy days

• Hormone 14 weeks et al

  by Elizabeth (Liz) October 10, 2015
  I can't believe how time has flown by. I'm now on week 14 of hormones and things are going well. My little chest is blossoming and I've ditched the prosthetic boobs in favour of heavily padded push up bras. I tried a dress on today which actually gave me cleavage, my cleavage :-). The down side is t...

• Hormones - 5 weeks in

  by Elizabeth (Liz) August 10, 2015
  As usual it's been a while, mainly because life has settled down and nothing much had changed. As of 6th July I started hormones and thought I'd share my experiences so far. I'm on Estradiol Valerate, starting at 2mg per day for 4 weeks and going up by 2mg per day until I reach a Serum Oestradiol le...

• 12 months on

  by Elizabeth (Liz) May 31, 2015
  I haven't written on here for a long time but I thought now would be a good time. So where do I start, April 2014 when I spoke to HR and told them that I am a woman. On 2nd June 2014 I started work as Liz, no more male things, just me. It's nearly been a year now and what a year. I've had to learn t...

• Hair transplant experiences - any advice welcome

  by Elizabeth (Liz) October 27, 2014
  As a girl born in the wrong body who has endured male puberty, I've suffered from male pattern baldness and have to rely on wigs. I'm looking at rectifying that with a transplant, so a few questions to those girls, or guys that have been through this Is it worth it? Should I wait until I'm on ho...

• Flying with breast forms

  by Elizabeth (Liz) October 15, 2014
  I'm having a real dilemma and I need some helpful advice. As part of my job I occasionally have to travel to client sites, some in Ireland and others in Spain. Since I began living full-time, I haven't had to do this but I know it won't be long. Since I'm pre-hormone treatment I rely on breat forms ...

• Charing Cross Workshop

  by Elizabeth (Liz) September 30, 2014
  Today (30th September 2014) I attended a workshop at Charing Cross GIC. I was a bit unsure about how useful it would be, and a few girls have mentioned cutting official waiting lists as an excuse for them. That may be the case, but I'm glad I went. Just some background, I found out that the workshop...

• Calling all Charing Cross Girls: Advice please

  by Elizabeth (Liz) September 19, 2014
  I was referred to Charing Cross GIC in January 2014 and have waited ages for any news. This week I got a very apologetic letter saying that they were sorry about the long wait and that I have been invited to attend a registration workshop. I'm not complaining, on the contrary, I'm ecstatic, but none...

• Transgender: How many are we?

  by Elizabeth (Liz) June 14, 2014
  In my journey to womanhood I've tried to find official figures on the number of transgender people in the UK. What I've found is that there are no accurate figures. It's understandable, I've spent so many years hiding the truth and I know so many others who still do. The figures that are available a...
