It has been some time since I
updated my blog, a lot has happened in the meantime. I am still finding life
full of excitement and joy since my transition started. For the last 16 months,
I have been helping in a group called “Alphabet Soup” we have an attendance on
average 26 a month. The Aims of “Alphabet Soup” is to have a safe
meeting place for people that are not certain where they fit into the world.
Whether they might be LGBTIQ or not certain where they fit in the world, they
will probably find someone to talk to, we are a very diverse slice of
humanity. The group is open for friend’s
family partners and helpers. It is held at “Denn Bar Restaurant” 113 High St Northcote
3070 Australia on the 3rd Tuesday of each month.
I have recently returned from
Bangkok where is went to Dr. Saran* for facial surgery. Dr Saran gave me a
lower face-lift, and got rid of my turkey neck. He also took fat from my stomach
and used to lessen my frown line and fill my cheeks. Dr Saran also filled in my
top lip with cartilage. It has made quite a difference to my lips.
I went to the dentist at “Bangkok
Smile”**. The work that they do there is excellent! This time had three
fillings and teeth cleaned. Their prices are very good and worth going to
Bangkok just for teeth work. The dentists are mainly women and they are very gentle.
On Remembrance
Day for the Transgender people who have been killed for the only reason that
they where Trans I went to JOY FM 94.9*** and had an interview. It was very
exciting and special. They do a lot of good work on behalf of people with
gender identity problems. I also had an interview about “Alphabet Soup”
The
other fun time is when I went to “The Rocky Horror Show” it was a live show. I
went with another Trans friend and two gg girls. We expected everyone to be dressed
up but it ended up we were the only ones. Therefore, we were quite a sight when
we took our coats off. At interval, I had about twelve of the audience asking
me questions about what being Transgender was like the causes of it, and effect
on my life. I personally like situations like this to help educate people, as
it helps stop the concern they have about us and the problems we come across
just to live normal lives
