Real Soon Now. I haven't set the date, but sometime in late November or early December, be looking for an announcement. Why?
Because on November 20, if nothing goes wrong, I'll be getting my first shot of testosterone. Woo hoo!
So here's the deal. My insurance company will not cover hormone therapy for cases of gender reassignment (or half-assignment, as the case may be, for us genderqueer folks). This means that I can use the local pharmacy at the clinic I attend, which has no contract with the insurance company. The local pharmacy has very cheap rates. So cheap, that, without insurance, I can actually afford the treatments, and with it, I probably couldn't. Go figure!
