I have to go do my G road test today. It's exciting, I know I'll do great, but I'm also scared I might miss something important... This alone has me both happy and sad!

Hi Allison,

I'm happy that you are transitioning too. We all understand that fear you have too. Yes some may not accept you but more will. You can't let that fear put a damper on what should make you happier than you have ever been. You are finally going to be yourself! That my Dear, is a wonderful thing. Never forget that this is what you always wanted and now you are working on achieving that goal. It is not only import it is who you are!

Hugs,
Laurie

Hi Alison,
In New Zealand we have a cheese ad that says good things take time. I agree with this even though being a person of action ( I want it now). Enjoy the journey and smell the roses

.... Brilliance has struck. Transition cheese should become a tradition. Start the cheese when you begin transitioning, eat the cheese when you are "finished" (ie: happy with yourself and your place in the world).

Yes! And start aging the wine at the same time.

That would only work for our FtoMs. Everyone knows that ladies don't "cut the cheese". [emoji16]

Cut it? I say just nibble at the whole wheel, ain't got time for cuttin'!

(Sorry, had to sort of walk over the joke on that one to make my stupid comment.

Thank you! You got me out of that stupid joke. I find myself at that awkward point where I'm still being ladylike when it's just us girls even though I know that other women make those kinds of joke when no men are around.

I loostened up enough to make it but not enough not to be embarrassed that I had.

On this topic line I used to brew beer. It would have been a great idea to brew a special one at the start of transition then toast success with it after finishing.

Do men count as roses? Lately they've been giving me lots of strange scents to smell

Thanks Laurie, I have to. I think it's a matter of time

Got about 48,000 'sirs' today, but I've convinced myself that they're all just saying 'Sarah' really fast instead.

I had my psychiatrist appointment (regarding my gender issues today (which is basically the last step before being referred to a gender specialist), I basically just said about how I want to be female and I'm really confused about my sexuality, and it's taking time for me to understand what being transgender means.

Good news, my doctor will be able to refer me to a gender specialist.
Bad news, my doctor will only be able to refer me to a gender specialist as soon as they receive the report from the psychiatrist (4-8 weeks $:-\$ )

Still, it's a step in the right direction

I held a memorial for a dear friend that passed away at 63. He did not want a funeral or any fuss. The evening gave myself and others closure. Rest in piece Kev, you were a great friend and I miss you sorely.
I am thankful for the moments I get to be me (Sue). I am also thankful to be alive.

Got a cryptic email from my dad about a student loan payment (which is a dual edged sword because yes they help support me as an adult, but I'm forced to stay in the closet or else I'd be homeless). So I'm both happy about not having to pay for a bit I to my student loan, but feel stuck since I was so close to coming out.

My first therapy appointment in 6 years is tomorrow morning. I will be seeing her for both my transition and also to deal with some other issues I'm having. I'm both terrified and anxious but also really happy I'm finally able to take the step to get better.

I fell on the ice today and my leg hurts really bad... But work has been quiet so I don't have to walk around much today!!

Bra shopping going well today,sales lady called me Zoey whom did fit me for new bras.Also said I looked beautiful as a fulltime crossdresser.Bought 12 new bras to replace 12 bras I had to replace.Wife was with me too.Unhappy,a woman saying I was a weirdo.Had to pick up a dress I had custom made which I did pay for up front.This woman was horrible to me,luckily the owner told her to leave and said I am one of her good customers to this woman.

I changed my name in the beginning of the month and by far Chase and Paypal have been the worst to deal with. Chase requires you to fill out a document that they send you in the mail which you then need to return by mail. I was getting frustrated that it was taking a long time so I sent them a secure message to see if I could speed anything along. The customer service rep responded stating that they needed that specific document but that I could send it to them via the secure messaging system. I replied back and on the first line of that reply I asked them to please refer to me by my new name. I stated that I had already mailed it back and unfortunately didn't make a copy. I asked if there was a way they could email it to me or provide me a download link so I could fill it out then attach it electronically. The rep replied that there were no electronic versions of that letter but in that message they used my old name several times. Needless to say that pissed me off but I was polite replying that their continued use of my old name was unprofessional instead of one where I cursed them out.

It then occurred to me that there is a local Chase branch nearby and maybe they would be able to do it. So I went there and the personal banker who assisted me was wonderful. She was so kind and gendered me correctly through the whole process even after seeing my old id. She updated everything she could. Unfortunately, she wasn't able to request a new card in my new name as another department handles that but she faxed the request to them and verified that my documentation was in their system correctly.
