Well, I've got to give Kaiser top marks again. A while back, I decided I'd like to explore a transition of sorts. While I'm sure I'll never seek bottom surgery, since I've retired, I have no need to wear men's clothes again. So in anticipation of that, I wanted to see just what kind of development I could induce on my chest. To that end, I asked my PCP (primary care physician) for an estrogen prescription. She referred me to the "Gender Pathways" clinic. After an interview with that doctor in charge of the and reviewing the permission documentation I got that prescription. I stopped by the pharmacy today to pick it up. It came along with a testosterone blocker, spironolactone. Since I've never used either the estrogen (Climara) or spironolactone the pharmacist had to caution/instruct me regarding the use of them.

When she was through, she said, "Thank you ma'am." I never get tired of hearing that.

Prior to picking up my meds, I had to have an ultra sound on my thyroid. (Not related to my meds.) The technician complimented me by saying, "You smell good." I was wearing my signature scent, Toujours Moi. I've been wearing it 24/7 for many year now. (Even when masquerading as an average male.) I think it's apropos, considering the name means in French, "Always Me." I was making a statement. Even though you see me as male, I'm always me.
