Date: Sat, 17 Jan 2015 10:54:27 +0000 (UTC) From: Beaumonte Bill Subject: Bill and Ann Part 19 I am an older married man who has dated many cross dressers and transgender women over the years. At first it was a kinky "walk and the wild side" but over time I came to really have feelings for the person, and that became more important than the intimacy we had. The movie "Soldier's Girl" was very moving and helped me realize that I really wanted to LOVE a transgender woman. I have had several truly wonderful loving relationships, and have come to believe that if I knew what I know now when I was young, I would have married a transgender woman. This series is a fantasy in which I imagine what that life might have been like. It is set in the late 1960's, when I was a teen. –Bill (oral_guy_2000@yahoo.com) Bill and Ann Part 19 We left for Dr. Jaffey's office, taking the bottle of Ann's hormone pills. We arrived fifteen minutes early and were given some forms and questionnaires to complete. "I don't remember when I had chicken pox," Ann said. "Guess the best you can. If it happened when you lived in Indiana, was it close to your departure or more in the middle?" I suggested. Ann filled out the rest of the questionnaires, guessing as needed. We waited a long time, though I'm told that's typical for doctors. A nurse called Ann's name and let us in, eyeing me like I had no business there. She said to Helen, "Do you really want the boy in for this?" "Without a doubt," said Helen. I was nervous, but glad for Mom's confidence in me. We were taken into an examining room where the nurse took Ann's temperature and blood pressure, and asked about her medications. She left us alone for awhile, and then Dr. Jaffey came in. He was an older man, smiling, and put us at ease. We introduced ourselves, and Dr. Jaffey asked if I was Ann's brother. "He is Ann's future husband," said Helen. I was glad for her answer, since I wasn't sure what to say. Ann proudly waved her left hand, displaying the friendship ring I had given her. "He looks kind of young for a fiancé," said Dr. Jaffey. "He is, but Bill is mature far beyond his years," Helen answered, "it is because of Bill that we are here." Dr. Jaffey turned to me and asked, "and how is that?" "I knew that Ann needed a doctor who was sympathetic to her situation, and non-judgmental," I said, "I am friends with a couple whose wife is transgendered, and she referred us to you." "After all these years of not seeing a doctor," asked Dr. Jaffey, "why is she here now?" "She saw no doctor before," I said, "because she had no doctor. But specifically I wanted her to be under a doctor's guidance for her hormones." "You do seem a bit wiser than most your age," said the doctor, smiling. Talking to all of us he said, "I want you to know that over the years I have treated over 50 transgender women and a few transgender men. The medical profession is very divided regarding transgender issues. Technically it is classified as a mental disorder, and some use rather draconian methods." He continued, "I think that it is important for you to know that I don't treat transgender people simply in a clinical manner. I feel a deep compassion for people like you. The condition of transgender people is called "gender dysphoria" meaning that you are unhappy with your birth gender. That definition stops short of how most feel however. They genuinely are convinced that their brain is opposite from their birth gender. In their words, they were born into the wrong body." "Yes, that's me," said Ann, "so you don't think I'm crazy?" "No, I don't but some doctors would think you are delusional, which is a form of mental illness. But my life experience tells me otherwise." "Can you say more about why you see things differently?" I asked. "You don't miss much Bill," he said, "My brother was gender dysphoric and my family didn't know how to respond. They took him to many doctors and psychologists. They tried all sorts of therapy and medications, but nothing seemed to work. My brother committed suicide before he graduated from high school." We all said we were sorry to hear of his loss. "The point is," continued the doctor, "because I have experienced the human side of this, I am more flexible and understanding than many of my peers. I abide by the laws that apply to my work, but will try to be as accommodating to you as I can." We thanked him. "Mrs. Martin," he continued, "you may have saved Ann's life by helping her become who she is. There is about a 50% suicide rate for transgender people, and I think you have saved Ann from being part of that statistic." Turning to Ann, he said, "Ok, I'm going to ask you questions about your history, specifically regarding your transgender history. You present as a healthy attractive young female, but I need to know how you got to this point." They talked about her journey, and then he examined Ann. During this Helen insisted that I stay, telling the doctor that I had seen everything he was going to see. The doctor said Ann's breasts had developed well, and looked normal for her age. He looked at her clitty and said, "The size appears normal, given that you have been on hormones for a few years." Looking under her clitty, he noted that the castration was done well, and that there were no scars – Ann had healed well. He stated that it was good that it was done before Ann had ventured very far into puberty. Had she waited longer, male characteristics would have begun to emerge. He brushed the back of his hand across Ann's cheek and said, "I feel no evidence of whiskers, have you had to shave?" "No," replied Ann. "Then the timing was probably right," he continued, "Many transgender people have to shave for the rest of their lives." I recalled that Melissa had to shave every day to maintain her pretty face. I'm glad Ann won't have to. "Let's take a look at your blood work and see where your hormone levels should be," said Dr. Jaffey. "I see that you have been taking a very low dose, which is safe, but may not be all you should have as young woman. Based on your blood work, I'm going to recommend an increase in your dosage, and I'll give you a prescription. If you notice anything you don't like, get back with me and I'll make an adjustment." "What kind of things might Ann experience?" asked Helen. "Mood swings are the most common," he replied, "This is most noticeable when people first start taking hormones. The presence of estrogen and the absence of testosterone tends to further feminize the brain – that is why women tend to be more emotional and are naturally more sensitive than men are to some social situations. Since Ann has been on hormones for several years, she has probably already past that." "Yes," said Ann, "I remember that when I first started. And my nipples were really sore when my breasts started to grow." "That is also normal," responded the doctor, "As long as that passes over time." Dr. Jaffee said he would like to see Ann every six months for now. We thanked him and departed. We talked on the way home and agreed that it went well, and that we all liked Dr. Jaffey and thought he was a perfect fit for Ann. We stopped at a drug store and got Ann's prescription filled, then went home. "I really enjoyed being able to spend the night and the entire day with you both," I said "I am such a lucky guy to have two angels like you." Both Ann and Helen kissed me before I left.
