Jayne, you must really be looking cute today. :)

I mean, giving away perfectly good imported beer to a total stranger? You go, girl.

I was wearing plain trainers, trousers, a coat that makes the girls visible, just barely but then it's miracle coat to manage even that :-)  I had no makeup on and the strong wind had made my hair look like a mad professor who'd just been electrocuted!!
The main thing I was wearing was a happy smile :)
I've one can and I'm a bit blotto, these may last a few days

In going through my deceased parents stuff last week I came across a post card my mother had saved that I had sent to her in 1970.  I signed it and looking at the signature today it looks like I had signed it Jess.  Kinda freaked me out because I didn't decide on that name until a few months ago. 

I also found a picture of me and my mother together in 1973.  Showed it to a friend who said "aren't you so cute.  Are you sure you weren't a girl?"  This was from someone who has no idea about my transition. 

Just a further confirmation that I am becoming who I really am and who I was ment to be.   :D

Finding that picture and looking at the signature would have been good, then to get your friends comment would have been a wow moment... But kinda sad that you actually weren't able to be you then...

So uplifting anyway xoxo

OK, so I had another good thing happen today - new health insurance cards, with my new name on them, arrived in the mail.

Now I can stop imagining stuff like ending up in the hospital and trying to explain why the insurance cards don't match any other ID to some skeptical administrator. ;)

Yay that's so good, but right on the button with skeptical admins  :laugh:

Just pulled a partially carbonated sample of an imperial stout I brewed about a year ago and ignored until last week. Even nearly flat, it is a strong contender for the best I've made yet. At 9.5% abv, I think it's good I only made 2 gallons...

I wish my current digs were cool enough to brew. I bought a house, (when I had a house) because the basement was between 50 and 55° Fahrenheit all year round. Those were some good ales!
April 22, 2015, the day of my first face to face pass in gender neutral clothes and no makeup. It may be months to the next one, but I'm good with that!

Being transgender is just a phase. It hardly ever starts before conception and always ends promptly at death.

Today was a casual Friday, which for me means no tie with my kakis.  Since it is getting cold here today I got to wear a sweater over my oxford.  Since I had a sweater on I decided to wear my new lace cami under my oxford and sweater.  Nothing says girl like a lacy pink cami under a matching pink shirt  ;D

Some of my co-workers are starting to look at me with a quizzical look on their faces.  Maybe it's the fact that:  I am now wearing earings in both ears?  My hair is getting very long?  I haven't got all of the mascara out of my lashes during my morning shower?  I'm walking around smiling all the time because I'm so happy I've found myself??   It really is nice to be at a point in my life where I am begining to feel comfortable being me.

I think I will get an additional piercing in my ears on the way home tonight  :o

Such a nasty week for me with a snow storm, some anxiety attacks & irriation with my new climara patches. However I started using an entirely new area of my body for the patches, (my butt) now I feel fine & the snow has almost melted. I'm going thrift store shopping today for some nice things & maybe 2 or 3 new spring dresses. I so love to wear a pretty dress. I'm a happy girl today. Oh & my breasts are growing so nicely, what a lovely feeling to have nice breasts
mtF, mid 50's, always a girl since childhood, HRT (Spiro, E & Fin.) since 8-13. Hormone levels are t at 12 & estrogen at 186. Face lift & eye lid surgery in 2014.

Hopeful for my GRS & a nice normal depth vagina maybe by late summer. 5' 8", 180 pounds, 14 dress size, size 9.5 shoes. I'm kind of an elegant woman & like everything pink, nice & neet.

Came out to my friends yesterday who I was holding back on and avoiding for months. I was pretty nervous as they are strong conservative manly man types.

Surprisingly they were very accepting.

This was in a group chat. First of all I asked about car service to jfk airport. One offered to drive me. I told him I was going to Korea to play medical tourist. He's a nurse so naturally he was curious. I showed him the yeson website... And he asked, "so you're getting your vocal cords fixed? You sound fine to me. "

I told him, "look at all of their procedures and I have something to tell you guys."

Then he still didn't get it and I said," ok I've been meaning to say this but I'm trans and have been in transition since late last year."

Immediately all I got was support. He said he fully accepts me and asked what are my preferred pronouns and do I have a name. He and his wife also had a baby and said I should come over for her to see her new auntie. :) :)

He told me just be safe with the hormones and ask any medical questions I may have. He will help me as much as he can.

He is also pagan and says that he has a lot of LGBTQ friends who are pagan so I'm cool.

Another friend said he was happy but asked how things were going at home. He said nothing changes between us and he's happy for me. He had a few questions to ask I said ask anything you want as long as it's respectful.

So I'm going to the range this weekend with them. This time though I'll be dressed as myself. No more hiding.

Ok, so it wasn't today, but I wanted to share anyway. Celebrated my last birthday as "the old me" last week. A little bittersweet, but a huge relief at the same time.

I'm slowly easing my family along on my transition (painfully slow at times,) but when they sang happy birthday, there was this pause where they weren't sure what name to use.  :laugh:

The day after I did my makeup, picked out a cute outfit and went shopping with my sister. I'm not full-time yet so I was pretty anxious at first. Walking into one store we were greeted with "hello ladies, can I help you find anything today?" I was addressed as miss and ma'am a couple times, and the best part - no side-eye waiting for the fitting rooms.

My sister helped me pick out a bunch of clothes that look good on me and seem to fit my personality (think punk rock chick vs. girl next door.) She even bought me some cute sandals for summer and showed me what colors to pair them up with. I'd be so lost without her ;D
When I was born the Dr. saw a penis and said "It's a Boy!" My only regret is that it took me 30+ years to figure out that I'd been lied to.  ;D

I love that there are so many punk rockers here! I knew my tribe would be with me for life but confirmation is wonderful!

Also, ImagineKate, so happy you had a great coming out yesterday. I did too!

A lot has made me happy today. Mani/pedi for my birthday party tonight where I get to be me with all my close friends and a very indulgent trip to Bare Minerals. :)

Went out for lunch and drinks today with two female friends and we were consistently referred to as girls and ladies by every waiter and waitress.

Well, I am on a roll!

Today I passed without effort. I mean I was surprised too. At the supermarket I was referred to as "miss" by everyone. Not one "sir" at all! Even with my deep-ish voice.

Anyway this is one I just had to share and couldn't pass up.

I have kids as you know. They are triplets - two girls and one boy.

We had to go to get my son examined as he has been having some problems with the bathroom. (thankfully nothing is wrong with him.)

So I'm there in the waiting room with his sisters and his mom goes with him.

This woman (a patient) comes out and sees the two girls with me, and says, "Oh wow, twins!"
And I say, "oh no, they're triplets. Their brother is inside being examined."
She said, "how old?"
I said, "four years old."
And she steps back and says, "damn girl, you look pretty good after having triplets, what's your secret?"
I said, "Oh I just take care of myself, the usual, diet and exercise."
And she smiled and said, "Well you must be doing something right, anyway good luck, they're beautiful!"

I was in shock, totally stunned. I guess I would call that a pass? Why, yes I would.
