Name Change

June 10th, 2007 10:40 am MDT

For the past while I have been attempting to find a name that would fit. It was definetly harder to decided then I originally anticipated. Thankfully, I have come to an interesting conclusion. I have choosen Melissa, which by chance was the same name my mother was decided on for me if I was born female. All I have to do now is get a lawyer to sign off as a commissioner and my name will be altered, and I can continue on the road to becoming a female.

On Another Note, I have started a new job and have been wearing female attire and makeup for the first time, I am still not comfortable with wearing a skirt or dress, that will come in time. Everyone at work is supportive and treat me as if I was still me, although I sometimes get the odd look, but nothing is ever said. Once I have officially changed my name I will setup for surgery once I have met the requirements of 2 years in a female role. I will focus  on facial and vocal concerns, followed by breast augmentation if needed, and later on down the road will get SRS. 

I have been having difficulties locating a speech therapist. If anyone would kindly provide me with some information, I would be most grateful.
