This Friday off we go to Charing Cross...Well, not actually the hospital building but the gender clinic which is situated above Sainsbury's on the next corner, really hoping it is a discreet building and hasn't got gender clinic plastered around it.
Have mapped the route and times and appears quite easy to get too off the underground.
As W has been waiting over a year or more for this appointment and due to their incompetence of not sending an appointment, I am hoping that things move quite quickly now.
I am expecting a referral on Friday and hopefully a time scale for the reconstructive surgery. As W is 12 months into hormones and 6 months post top surgery they can not argue his decision to go ahead. W is positively male now, I think he has grown the facial hair especially for this appointment...
W did think I was having a joke and I wasn't serious about my expectations, he tells me that he will have to have at least 3 more consultations to convince them and then he doesn't expect to have surgery within the next 3years. Really hope it's him that is joking, surely they should be moving this completion on now so that W can get on with his life.
All in all a very settled time nothing to report on.
I have a very happy, growing, masculine, deep voiced son.

(66) Boys V Girls
Had a couple of odd conversations recently...
Spoke with my nephews other half who I have only met a couple of times. Conversation got onto children, she compared her son with her daughter and told me how different girls were. W was with me at the time and she said I was lucky to have two boys as girls are a handful!!
Second conversation exactly the same, again a comparison between sons and daughters.
I feel like shouting out 'Yes I know, I had a daughter for 19 years'.
Matt in a dilemma at the moment.
Matt has introduced W as his brother to his girlfriend and not said anything about the transition.
Confusion when they are with his dad. As dad refers to W as 'Rach'. This has happened a couple of times so his girlfriend has questioned it, wondering if he has a sister somewhere.
Matt brushed it off and told her it was a tale for some other time.
So, this weekend was the some other time!!
Matt's girlfriend had stayed over at his dads after spending the evening with me. As usual Matt is questioned about 'Rach'. Matt was asked again who was 'Rach', so he has explained briefly what W has chosen to do and exactly how is dad reacted, hence W not talked about.
Conversation went well and he still has a relationship!
Quite a difficult situation as W wants to be stealth, small world as a couple of more people now know and who do they know?
On the whole W is in a fantastic place at the moment, happy, bubbly and working his socks off at Uni.
I am really lucky and proud to have two beautiful, healthy children who are doing so well in life.
