What made you happy today?, for MTF members please

[rosinstraya]

3rd time out, got the "after you" for the escalator in Westfields. Onwards and upwards (!?)

OK, maybe it was age before beauty, but I'll take that as a good sign for now.

My husband gave me flowers today, no particular reason, just because..........     but it did make me happy today.

I went out shopping all day and didn't get any double takes. I think I'm finally starting to pass.

Are you kidding me, as long as you don't overdress (we all do it) you pass better than oxygen in a divers tank.

I'm really glad to see some members post nice things that happened to them, good for all of us. I had a nice day on my farm.

Having my mom give me my first injection, such an awesome memory!

That is so special. It's so nice to see others that love their mothers. I loved mine & she was supportive of her "daughter". I sure hope others will confide & always bring their mother into their lives. Your mother loves you no matter what. She needs you & you need her.

Today I am happy because for the first time in several months I was able to keep my sleep aid device in all night.
Sure it didn't do much at all for me because it isn't set to the right spot, but it's a start and if I can get to
keep it in all night, then I will be able to set it to where it needs to be to help me sleep normally.

Woohooo....

I'm happy today. It's fun to finally start flirting with men again & I look forward to meeting a new man or 2. My surgery is finally healing up & I look so much nicer. I'm going to have my entire makeup done much better & have some nice pics taken to post. I always get excited about meeting a new man.

It was a bittersweet week, the bad, my client got arrested right after paying me.  My mom and I have decided it would be best to not talk for a long time since shes afraid if I continue transitioning no one will ever hire me to work and then I will be dependent on everyone for the rest of my life.  My friends came into town then left a few days later I really miss them.

The GOOD!!  Bills have been paid, I got to drive a semi truck, my houseboat is running like new again.  My friends came into town and spent the weekend with me.  My mom called me Chloe for the first time, granted it was in the middle of our fight.  I have 3 more welding projects lined up and a boat delivery job in the works!! (that pays for the cost of laser hair removal, and a years worth of pills)
I am getting paid to teach my bro in law how to sail in key west.  Best of all I got told by three different people that my boobs are too big to go shirtless, one was a cop.  I almost always wear a shirt or top of some sort but it was hot and I thought I had a few more months before I got to that point!!  I know that I am rambling but it was a tough week, mixed with depression and good friends to fight it.  I am calling it a good week though.

Yesterday I managed to jump through the last hoop and now my drivers license has my correct new name and that precious and affirming big F.   I am elated to know this will reduce the funny looks I sometimes get from anyone looking at my ID and should also reduce my hassles (minimal as they are) with travel, airport security and other officialdom. 

As you know, the real change is between our ears and I accepted myself as transgender some time ago.  The sense of feeling right and having the certainty of a state issue ID is a milestone for this girl.  I celebrated (lightly, no headache!) with my best TG girlfriend last night and feel the next step just got a bit more certain and easier.

Yippee !!!

Got asked if I was in a recent TV thriller as this couple were convinced it was me!No they didn't have a guide dog and white sticks

Good for you Tessa!. I know how happy and yes, elated your feeling right now. It's been over a month since I had the big F stamped on my driver's license and I'm still feeling a happy sense of validation over it. Enjoy it girl, you've more than earned it!

I've been trying to really enjoy myself as a woman more, despite things I dislike about my age, face and body. Today, I really took my time in putting on my makeup, and at least a few times a month I'll find something to make putting on my face more enjoyable and less frustrating. I think I've gotten very good at doing what looks good on me, but today I really felt I hit it. I looked one of the best I've ever looked today and even my mom, my biggest help and sharpest critic at the same time, told me, "you look really pretty today, young lady!!!" It was something that's been happening more lately with her.

Congrats, Tessa! It has to be one of the most momentous steps we can take as TG women! I went to my county courthouse three times in the last month, the last two going to the 'self help' office as well and getting the attorney's help there in putting my packet together. Even she got it wrong the first time. But her second time and my third time was a charm in getting my court date for my name and gender change. I go to court on Friday, August 15th, the day before my 60th birthday, and then I'll hopefully be legally Miranda Catherine Thomson, F!

Your looking great Mira! Where've you been girl? I haven't seen you in a while. You look gorgeous in your new Avatar! Age is meaningless my friend. We're women and we're beautiful no matter what our age.

Best wishes!

To my surprise I found a partner for a dancing class. I didn't expect a reply to my add sooner than like in a month or two and it came in a day :-D . To make sure I won't get disappointed by later refusal I included a picture of me in our follow-up e-mail introductions (he included his as well but my eye-sight isn't for judging anyone's looks).

This got me really excited as I really wanted to go out with someone but wanted to avoid any kind of dating. Search for a dancing partner thus seemed as a great alternative. Given how often partners get swapped what's the risk of getting further than just dancing :-) .

So just a moment ago I cleaned a pair shoes that will do just fine although they're not exactly designed for dancing. And in like one hour I'll leave to shop for some nice white dress. Then it will be only about agreeing when to go. Perhaps we'll manage a session already this weekend :-) .

I had a moment of pure dysphoria(lessness?)    It was bliss for about an hour or two I forgot completely that I was bio male and all the plumbing trappings that went with it.  Even though I was in drab, I felt pure bliss and completely female.  My mom and I did not fight once and even went to get our hair done.
I really needed that esp after last week.
