First time commenting, but here goes...

Today, I found out that this site has a forum.
I discovered that there were people like me that I could talk to at a moment's notice.
I learned that many people experience the same little troubles I do.

...and I got to work on my garden ^.^

Well welcome to the site then! It is a powerful thing to realize just how like other people we are. We are all just regular people. I'm looking forward to seeing you around the forums! And I am jealous of your gardening fun times!

Yesterday was my one year coming out as trans and today is my nine months on hormones.

Congratulations!

For me, today, as I was pulling a rack through the store, (I'm one of the people who collects, packs and ships your order when you order from WalMart.com), an elderly lady called to me, "excuse me, miss, can you reach down this box for me?" When I came over she didn't revise herself! Also,  the nail polish I put on last Monday has barely chipped at all. Tomorrow I'll remove it and put on fresh.

Tried on my new trench coat mantle. Wow, I am loving it.

I also told my best friend, but that is far too big to be just news of the day.

today, while at a restaurant,when the waitress approached us she asked how us "ladies"were doing. This is the second time in a week this has happenned. so something is changing.

Landed a new job today. Walked in, sat down, talked to two managers, walked out with a start date!!!

Oh, and I got a free root beer. Caffeine free and diet, just the way I like it...and did I mention free!?

Got some new heels and boots in the mail today, unfortunately the boots are too big so back to the store they go!  Hopefully they can exchange them cause they are really cute!

Congrats GF!!  Wonderful news. Oh and you have a package on the way :-)

I came out to my second real-life friend today who I see every day at work.  He was really supportive and apparently was smiling the entire time (messaged him on Skype from home).  He was really happy for me and actually asked if he could tell his wife (who I've met) because he knew she'd be happy for me too.

Considering I'm an incredibly shy person in real life and I'm horribly afraid of rejection due to a small pool of people in my life because I'm shy, it made me pretty happy to not lose a friend.  I need to go to bed now, but I'll probably be excitedly fidgeting in bed till like 2am.  Going to be hard to get up for work tomorrow, but it was worth it.

I managed to put eyeliner on today finally!

Realized high waist skirts look really good on me.

Had a little girl bugging her mother asking her "What her name?" Directed at me and the mom said "Leave her alone she's shopping." I still worry about passing but it seems like I shouldn't.

Oh donated all my old clothes apart from my work stuff. So there is really no turning back for me now!

I went to my new GP today, the lovely man who had been looking after me has just retired, I requested a female GP and had this delightful elderly Doctor.

She went through my file and said I hadn't had a Pap test recently as far as she could see and I should book in for one.

When I explained why, her eyes were on stalks. But she was lovely and wanted to know about my journey.

Oh and my BP was 117/70. before I started my journey it was 178/90 (very bad).

I'm a happy girl!

Today I have a day off. So eating breakfast at home. A small breakfast. One ingredient is a tomato. Eating it like an apple, and I seem to haven't done that in a while.

Because now I have that new feeling when I wipe my lips. No beard under hand. Only smooth skin*. It made my breakfast very happy to sense no hair there anymore.

* - At least on touch; I've only had one laser treatment and there are stripes of missed hair.

[Hannah.Emma]

Talked to my therapist today.  It always makes me happy talking to her about anything.

[angiegurl]

It all makes me happy (there are some things I am not happy about but that is in the process of being changed).

My stubby ugly fingers make me happy.


My stubby ugly toes make me happy.


My earrings make me happy. I have a matching set on the other side. My ears suck however.


I saved the best for last. My favorite t-shirt makes me happy. Some things I just can't get rid of.


In general what makes me happy? Just being me!

[KaylaMadison]

Just got off the phone with my doctor who said to go ahead and up my HRT doses, so far the week is coming up Kayla!

I saw my face in a dream last night, and read it as female!

[Martine A.]

Yesterday night I went out to dump trash.
There was one of my neighbors on the gallery, having a phone call. She is hard to meet and she only knew me as a man.

I walked past her with my trash shoulder-to-shoulder. She just greeted me and I greeted back. I was uuh... oh-kay... that was a stoic one.

On my way back, bound to be shoulder-to-shoulder again, she perhaps realized it is me after seeing I'm coming back. And she started to stare while still having the phone call.

Only when we were at silent talk distance, surprise popped up on her face.
Hey, it looked like she liked what she saw. Another supporter.

So, yes! Success. I definitely pass at night.

I had to go to a team building session today,
The focus of the meeting was singing, Yipes!! After some rather silly breathing exercises the group leader broke us into male & female groups, he taught each group their part and we sang an African song, the sound of our voices mingling was spine tingling.
I ended up in the group singing the highest pitch and the woman next to me complimented me on my ability to reach higher notes, she said I have a beautiful singing voice.

Raise your voices and lift your soul sisters

Nice visit with my plastic surgeon yesterday, I'm healing up just fine from liposuction & tummy tuck surgery. He said see me in a month but you look very well to me. Also he said maybe 2 more weeks & you can stop wearing your corset, oh happy day, summer time my way & hot. My mid section does look so nice. It was a lot of pain & stress but such a nicer body. I'm a happy girl today.

[sparrow]

Saw a doctor!  She's totally on board with WPATH, didn't act like a gatekeeper!  Two weeks 'til hormones!
