Rachel Alexandria

Hii everybody! So I think I have finally settled on a name. My wonderful friend Claire mentioned to me once how she thought I looked like a Rachel. Well, the name stuck and I love it! I still love Kirstin though, and if I could, I'd probably change my name to Rachel Kirstin-Alexandria. But I'm sticking with Rachel Alexandria for the moment. Who knows, I don't plan on having the surgery for a couple years and by that time I may have a completely different name in mind. That's the perks of being transgender :) 

Anyways! I have begun to embrace the name Rachel Alexandria, and in doing so, you can now find me on twitter @ConvertedGirl and on Facebook as Rachel Alexandria Posey. (Posey was just something I threw in to keep people I knew out from knowing about me. I don't plan on changing my last name, but I do like the name Posey :) ) 

So I'm just giving all my lovely readers a chance to follow me more closely and get to know me :) On my Facebook page I'll be dealing more with things in general, probably post pics when I start hormones and all that. I don't use twitter as often, so probably won't be posting too much there.

Also, unrelated to the above, yesterday was my sister's birthday and we went out to the mall and a couple places. I really just started to get this feeling of complete ugliness. Like maybe I just wasn't meant to be a boy or a girl. I keep looking at my body like "You're never going to pull off being a woman." So I'm really hoping that hormones completely alter my body. I have therapy on July 8th, and I'm gonna try and bring up my letter of recommendation so I can get started on hormones. I've been going for 4 months now, and typically you get your letter in 3-6. So if I were to ask now, I'd probably be able to get it in August. I think many therapists who see transgender people often believe that when they get their letter, they'll stop going. My friend Claire has kinda specified to me that when she gets hers on Wednesday, she's done seeing her therapist. But from what she's told me, he wasn't that great to begin with. But it won't be the case for me. I love my therapist and she is truly one of the best! I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for her. She's very kind  and compassionate and understanding. So even though I'd have to spend money on hormones, I'd definitely still be going to see her, probably just not as much. Maybe like once every 2 months or something. Generally, once a transgender does start hormones therapy visits go from like 1-2 a month to once every 6 months. So yeah, that's all for today! Next post might be on the 8th, we'll see. I'm trying to meet with my cousin again, and that could be before or after the 8th. So we'll see! Love ya'll! Take care :)
