Happy New Year. After partying at home a bit last evening, i woke up to a house full of family that have been with us for the week. This family has been only marginally supportive or even recognizing of my transition but they have been really great guests and i had the chance to answer their questions etc.

This past year has been a difficult one for me personally bringing my life to record lows in every respect. Now, I have a new year to look forward to with none of that baggage. Life can only get better for me now!

A new year. A new start. I spent at least 9 months on spiro waiting to get approved for E and finally got it at the beginning of December. It's so nice to have hormones again.
Found out that I still have a part time job. One of the other employees wanted to fight me at work the other night and I was worried that because they need him more than me, I was going to lose it. My boss told me that he will be apologizing when I come back and that I'm the only person he enjoys working with because I joke around with him.
I'm not sure how to deal with him though as he is the only person at work to notice I had breasts forming and then noticed I had a sports bra on when I tried to hide them. It's good part time money but I'll have to leave when I get even more obvious as my boss's husband is Egyptian and VERY conservative on any sexuality or trans issue.
Dang. I've gone and written a book.
Looking forward to a transformative year [emoji3]

Spending a small part of new years eve on here with you lot and seeing so many of you guys getting good news for the new year. If only some was coming my way, lol.
Happy new Year to you all.

Don't worry, good things will come your way sooner or later too Sophie!

I don't have any dramatic feel good moments to share so far, but I am feeling more free to express my inner self every day - and it's great. It's such a freeing experience that is hard to describe. I'm finding that I am reaching a point where I almost want to be discovered to be trans and at least less intensely worried about how others will respond.

Went out in full dress last night was so fun to be seen was at a lbgt bar so even though I didn't come close to passing nobody cared good time

[emma-f]

Ok, so it's not "today" but I'm gonna stretch it for this one.

Went out NYE as Emma for the first time in my life. Happy for so many reasons:

1) she says she actually prefers me as Emma as I'm more fun and more outgoing (but she's not attracted to me as Emma)
2) my friend asked if I'd had a boob job (nope, just hormones and a good bra, but it seems the boogie fairy has been kind to me)
3) a guy asked to take a photo of my cleavage for his cleavage of the week feature (prob a lie but I don't care, he wanted a photo of my cleavage!)
4) my wife spoke to somebody who misunderstood the story and thought I was her husband's ex wife. Seems I even fully pass in gay bars
5) I got to wear my new kick ass Louboutin heels

Hi CrysC

I'm Very Happy for you as this is a new start in your life!

For me today was wonderful as I spent last night with one of my brothers and sisters that I haven't seen for 4 years and all went well. The beginning of a new error for me

Despite being sick the last few days (guh winter..) I noticed something quite exciting today.

I have 2 hard lumps which I'm guessing is the beginning of breast budding! They are pretty sore too so it seems to check out so far. Seems about right for almost a month on hormones.

Also one of my brothers called me Sophie which made me really happy inside. I hope other members catch on soon.

Hi Sophie

That is wonderful both the buds and your brothers comment. Think of the buds as a flower that will bloom.

I am just starting my transition. Finally came out to my wife last month.  So far have only started sirolactone.  I did a routine household chores and my wife said I'm such a good girl. Was awesome to hear for the first time.

[Joi]

Oh how I have been waiting to say this for a long time

Just went to the mailbox and picked up my "new" passport!  YAAAAY!

New legal name correct.  In the section for sex a big capitol 'F"

All that's left is my Thai Visa and I'm ready to fly!

Kinda flying right now! 

Hugz,

Joi

[Sophieraven]

I'm happy to have found a nice woman surgeon here in the eastern USA for my GRS when I'm ready. She is very nice & we talk on facebook all the time. Her fees are not excessive, since she is a new surgeon, very qualified however not well known & booked up for 6 months or a year in advance like some in the USA. Happy New Year to all & good luck to us all.

Joi:

Congratulations on the great news with your new passport.  Yep, that nice 'F' may be one singular letter but it symbolises the years of hard work you have done to achieve it.

Now for reality.  The Royal Thai Embassy website says they can take '15 business days' to process your visa application - there is no guarantee they will issue one.

With that in mind, apply early and keep your fingers crossed.

If no visa now, go to Cambodia for a couple days before you get started, see the temples and other sites, and the Thai Embassy can issue your 60-days visa on next-day service.

Best wishes to you, Joi, as your years of efforts come to fruition.

To those of you just beginning, yes, transition can have its rough spots and tough days, but this is a well-worn path that leads to success one step at a time.

Came out to a friend!

I came out to a friend yesterday and without hesitation he was fully accepting he thought my breast growth was just me gaining weight lol... maybe I'll work up the courage to come out to the rest of my band soon enough!

Hugs JD!

This is a whole new year for me. Last year I began with being presumed male and finished with being presumed female and all those other stages in between. It was the single most difficult and scary year of my life. I faced so many of my biggest fears. I went from a person with zero self confidence to someone who is more like the me I have always wanted to be. At midnight last night I had a huge sense of relief. It was over, I had done it, I survived!

This year, this day, they make me happy because they are the initiation of a lifetime of being recognized as me. My real life builds from this point forward. I am full of hope for my future and joy in my present moments.

Sounds like one full on year Kellam, really good to hear you made it in one piece  Very inspirational post!

What made me happy today? Skipping in the rain with my girl friend, and for that moment forgetting all my worries and just being Xxx

Telling a guy you are attracted to, that you are trans?

For a month I began to talk to a guy on Facebook. Me and him were in the same facebook gaming group, and he commented on some of my posts in the group. One day I just started to chat with him for no reason. He replied and he was a very nice guy, kind of shy and abit flirty, and I think he is good looking!

On the 3rd or 4th day, I told him that I was trans. He replied instantly that he thought that I was a cis female. But he just put it aside and kept talking to me like any girl! We talked every day and we also decided to meet and play some games together at his place after new year and getting to know each other. At this time, I felt attracted to him.

And today I came home after spending the weekend at his place and well...we played alot of video games, and we talked alot and had a great time and he said that he was attracted to me. He was so shy that he didn't dare to kiss me, so I had to take the first step and said to him: "Hey, don't be shy!"

Well, so much happened in a short time and both of us wants to develelop all of this into a serious relationship. He also said that he doesn't see my trans identity as an issue. I looked up his family members, and alot of them were showing their support for LGBT rights.

And...I'm in love. He's my first boyfriend and later he messaged me today that his bed has my scent. That totally got my heart melting.

What a great start of this year.

I shaved my brows down to a shorter level and plucked out the monobrow in the middle. Still not femininely shaped,but a step in the right direction

Thanks, and thanks again Moomin!

P.s. I love skipping in the rain! Did you splash in any puddles? Anyway, just being is truly a blessing. Thanks for sharing that simple joy!
