Do you celebrate your ->-bleeped-<-versary?

[Lady_Oracle]

nope

[Kelly J. P.]

 I can't say I really 'celebrate' mine. I observe them, but they tend to just bring sadness.

[JennX]

I'm aware of it... but I skip the cake and balloons.

[Miranda Catherine]

I actually quietly celebrate each month, but bought a new dress and shoes on my first anniversary of living full time, September 7th, 2012. So I passed my sixteenth month a few weeks ago.

[Amazon D]

yea every 5 yrs

3 times so far

[Robert Scott]

My wife took me out to dinner to celebrate --- so yea I celebrated it --- my one year was Jan 1st

[Naturally Blonde]

Absolutely not!

[Jessica Merriman]

I will start celebrating after SRS! 

[Ms Grace]

These zombie threads are always an interesting glimpse into the many people who have been on this site, some who are still here and others who haven't posted in ages.

Anyway, haven't reached mine for HRT but when I do I'll probably celebrate by going full time.

[Jill F]

Mine is Wednesday.  It has been one year since I cut through the BS and began calling myself Jill.

My wife will be out of town that day unfortunately, so I'm going out for tacos with one of my friends who also happens to be a contributor here.

I will in 6 months 3 weeks from now. I started HRT 3 days before the day I was born. I did not want to be 51 and starting HRT, vanity I guess.

I want to get my ears pierced on my HRT birthday. I suspect I will be alone on that day.

[LordKAT]

I'll send you hologram of me so you don't have to celebrate alone.

There are (or will be) three days that I will observe:

My "Estraversary" or first dose of HRT - April 5. I saw the term elsewhere on this site and I love it.

My "Restiversary" or beginning of going full time - Sept 11.  I actually just coined the term as in the anniversary old putting "him" to rest.

My Rebirthday will be when I have my SRS.

[eli77]

Nah. My hormone start date is sometime in January I think? I guess I'll be coming up to my third year. Weird. Feels like so much longer.

I have a transmutation symbol tattooed on the inside of my wrist. That's how I commemorate it.

Never really liked being celebrated like that. Hate my birthday too.

[Rainbotron]

I don't really "celebrate" anything, but I acknowledge the occasion of the anniversary of my "rebirth."  That's the day that I began to assert my true identity.  I left home early that day to buy new clothes and makeup, change, and do my hair.  When I arrived at school that night, I informed my teachers of my new name.  It's an important date, and a solemn occasion because I overcame an internal struggle only to be met with an external conflict.

[Eva Marie]

I don't really know exactly when I took my first dose of estrogen. It was a very low dose and it was several years ago. It was an experiment to see if it eased my GD any and I didn't really think that the date was important back then. Oh, the experiment was a success BTW

When I decided to go the full distance I got prescribed a higher dose and I took the first of that dose on October 8th of this year, so I guess I'll observe that date as my ->-bleeped-<-versary.

Like someone else said earlier that date is going to be tinged with sadness for me since my wife and I are separating after 26 years together; she'll drive away tomorrow morning with her stuff loaded in the back of the car.

zombie threads, lol!

My first year will be Nov 17th, in 1 week!  I've thought about celebrating, but life is one big celebration so what's the diff! I'm sure I'll brag about it to some of the people I'm close with, at the least it will score me some hugs, maybe a drink.

But also:
I've been keeping it boy mode for the most part~work, and around people I haven't told. I've been thinking about using my 1 year as an opportunity to come out to the last few people I'd care to tell.

As far as full-time... well, I'm very close to it, we'll see how the house votes on ENDA. Once that gets passed, all I need to do is get some more clothes! 

[kariann330]

Not planning on celebrating anything until i have and recover from SRS. Then i plan on having some of my close friends and family who have been here for the wild ride its been so far, and having a vajay jay.shaped cake to celebrate.

[LordKAT]

I can image the look on the baker who gets the order for that cake!!

aug 20th 2012 is the date I will always remember, but don't celebrate
