Ten weeks and some great news!

70 days on T!!! Still can't believe how quickly the time flies and I couldn't be happier. Changes are happening far more quickly than I could have imagined and I love the gel. It works really well for me. My voice is still dropping each week and I now pass as male on the telephone, which is wonderful! My arms, legs, stomach and chest are getting hairier constantly and I have some facial hair coming in on my top lip and under my chin. I'm getting more acne but I'm cleansing my face well everyday so hopefully it stays under control!
Anyway, on to the good news! I was furious when I went to the doctors surgery the other day and they called me "miss" in front of the whole waiting room. I have always passed as male so to be outed like this was devastating. Especially as I do not live in the most tolerant of areas! I have asked them to change my title so many times as I have legally changed it anyway. They told me to take it up with the local PCT. the first time I did this, they did nothing. So I decided to pour my feelings of embarrassment, anxiousness and misery into a letter to the PCT stating that they must update my title or I will take further action. 2 days later I received a phone call to say that they would not only update my title but they will change my gender and make my files sensitive. I am ecstatic!
