Well, first off I don't even know why I'm updating y'all, I don't think anyone even checks my profile out anymore.
Big news, I am at over a year on estrogen and other hormone therapy. Its been one year, two months and 11 days to be exact.
Another big thing is I recently came out as Genderfluid. For those of you who may not know, it means my gender identity can change and shift between a variety of different genders, from masculine, to feminine, to androgynous, to things that aren't really on the gender spectrum. It was super confusing because I often felt female, but then there were some days where I didn't feel feminine, I felt different. It was so very very confusing but with the help of some friends I figured it out.
Other big news, probably the biggest, I am getting my Gender Reassignment Surgery, aka Sex Change or whatever. I don't have an exact date, but it should happen sometime in December of this year, maybe a little later like in January or February.
I also discovered that I have Dissociative Identity Disorder, formerly known as Split/Multiple Personality Disorder. Some of you who may have known me back when I was super active here might not be surprised by this at all. I have at last count, 23 different personalities. I got help from a few therapists to figure everything out. It is a huge reason why I/we identify as genderfluid, pretty much all of my personalities have different genders. However calling them "personalities" seems to not accurate describe what they are. For me at least, they are like individual people who just happen to share the same brain as me. We can talk to each other, but using that word loosely as we don't ever actually hear each other, it's more like intrusive thoughts that don't belong to me, but not like schizophrenia. The original person you all knew, Vansc14, he/she is gone. She was going as Sophie in the last several years, but stuff has happened and she doesn't want to come out and "front" anymore. However she is still around in some ways, we can talk to her but she prefers to be left alone. I won't go into too much detail, as there is a ton, but feel free to ask us questions. Just refer to each of our "headmates" as different people, separate from the others.
