What made you happy today? 3.0

Boo Maybe next time.

Yeah, it definitely isn't going to be my last trip to the states so we will definitely end up meeting at some point. 8 (well, 9) days really isn't long enough for any holiday.

My Szayel costume is almost put together!

Colleagues' birthdays & business trips meant that I've had two slices of cake and a doughnut today.

Getting quite a bit of hate mail for posting on another forum ..

'Homophobia like xenophobia is often linked to agoraphobia preventing those affected from getting out into the real world.'

This was related to the gay marriage debate.

I guess some people are upset. But you know, some people need to be upset for things to change.

Not everything needs to change. In an ideal world believers in Romans 1 would coexist with those who think it's nonsense, and neither would seek to eradicate or ostracize the other.

Not sure why it makes you happy receiving hatemail, TBH.

Went out to lunch with my colleagues to celebrate a couple of birthdays. Whilst all the ladies were ordering fancy risottos and fragrant Thai thingies, I ordered the Full English Breakfast (bacon, egg, sausage, tomato, baked beans, mushroom, black pudding, toast - yum!).

My boss, who was sat next to me, asked what I'd ordered and when I told her she remarked "Wow, that's such a blokey thing to order! You're such a guy!". I actually hugged her for that one. 

Then during the meal I needed to use the bathroom and as luck would have it our table was right next to the toilets, which were the usual gender-segregated facilities. I'm still not 100% confident about using the gents' (even though I haven't used a ladies' toilet in about 8 months), but I just sucked it up & marched straight into the gents' toilet, right in front of all of my colleagues.

Take that, dysphoria!

FTMDiaries, you are making it as a guy with ordering and then using the gents' where your colleagues could possibly see you go in.  I have been using the gents now all the time, but I don't think I have been seen going or out by someone I konw.

Found out a couple of relatives know about my transition and don't seem to have any issues with it. Relieved a little cause I was expecting that at least one of them would be against and maybe be vocal but no they seem okay with it.

Thanks!

I'm not suggesting for a second that I felt comfortable about going into the gents' in front of 15 people who knew me for years before I started my transition... but the only way for me to get through that kind of insecurity is to just barge right through it.

The whole family pulled together to support one of my daughters who has been mega-stressed lately because she's been studying for an important exam.

As a result of all of our efforts she's calmer, more relaxed and is confident that she'll get a decent result.

When I went to the endocrinologist today, he said to me "You look great, what have you done??"- he thought I had had some FFS since our last visit two months ago. He was shocked when I motioned zero, and then he told me I look like a "babe" and that I was giving off wholly feminine vibes. This coming from the endocrinologist who has a reputation of being brutally blunt with his clients when he thinks they need to "fix" something.

Well my day has pretty much been made. Getting a triple dose of progesterone "pink panther" booster only made it better, too

Flirting at my fave cafe, and a spontaneous hug as I left.

I really like the Master from Doctor Who. I'm considering trying to find the old series to see more of this character.
I really like me.
