Wednesday the 28th of March, I went to the Privacy Officer at the VA hospital where I am treated. I went in to ask about the directive I mentioned in another blog.
I was handed a form written by the VA that requires a Doctor who has treated a transgender individual.
I took the form to the endocrinologist who has been treating me today to ask him to fill out the form.
He did so after reading the directive 2011-024 and the new policy for changing gender on the electronic medical record.

I was on line earlier today and found a site that had a report of a Trangendered person harassed by the VA Police because she used the womens bathroom she was ejected from the hospital and given a TRO. She currently has an attorney and is seeking damages.
One of the commenters on the article talked about Veterans Health Administration Directive 2011-024.

AS an intersexed individual or fro any veteran who is using the VA Healthcare system tthis directive tells the VA Health care system how to treat transgendered patients.

I reside in Delaware and am wondering howI can meet others like me with out having to join an online porno site (my idea of what the sites are). I am not looking for a one night stand, I am looking for people to talk to to be able to discuss how I really feel somedays.
I went online and the sites for Delaware are listed but the meeting places no longer exist.
Driving any length of distance outside of Delaware is almost a day trip.
Any one with any ideas?

I read the most wonderful story by Cindilee,"Mermaid First Class" I usually don't do a blog about someones story, but this time I felt it was neccessary. I started to read the story yesterday, being retired Navy I had a slight misunderstanding. I left a message with the author at the end of the story, but ensured it was a flaming comment or deroggatory. I read the complete story a few hours ago. I pm the author to let her know I thought her stroy was wonderful and I wanted let her know I appreciated it, even after my attempt yesterday.

After a year of deep intense therapy, psychotrophic drug adjustments I am finally beginning to settle in. I had two stories I wrote under an assumed alias now under my name and a friend who is searching their archives for a story we penned together.
I am not out of the woods yet, I've learned that people who have any sort of vascular surgery tend to get depressed often.
I am awaiting vascular surgery on my left leg some time this year and if it was like the surgery on my right leg I am going to have three to four months where my memory is going to be vaguee.

In my years of trying to connect with someone to be my friend and confident I've made many online friends, some just for a season, some for a particular reason and some who have been with me a lifetime.
I enjoy the blogs and the stories and I often comment or leave a remark on a blog. There are several here who pm me, but what I miss the most is face to face contact with someone who is like me.

I decided to see how long I have been a member. I
ve been with BCTS for seven years and two weeks. just 12 years and 50 weeks to go to have made a career here.

A year or so ago I got upset and removed my stories, the only one left behind was I, Actor,
I did write two stories under an alias they were A Bitter Wife and The Pawn, The name I used was Marcie Diane.
I am now at peace and contentment, my meds work for me and I learned to ask some simple questions for my self:

Did I do something to make the situation go bad?

Do I have control of the situation?

Is it my fault?

When I can answer no to each of them, I go about my business and do not rant or rave.
