I have not been on in a while as I have been super busy with life in general. I have my name change court date for 29 Jan (yay im finally there), I can get an updated birth certificate, drivers license, and passport to reflect female (thank you state of MD where i dont need GRS), I have been doing enough laser/electrolysis to where less and less makeup is required, finally can hold a conversation with a passable voice. I currently have no more boy mode girl mode and I am 100% open and living as a female (per my new years resolution), (I put all my boy clothes away and plan to distribute to my transmen friends. I am accepted at work and everybody knows (yay). I am at my 7 month mark hrt. changes are noticeable fat distribution, face (will update pic as ppl say I dont need FFS but ill let you all judge), BREASTS !!!!!!, hip growth (just became as wide as my chest), butt growth, slow growth and lighter colored body hair, more muscle atrophy, erection free for 5 months, oh and my hair is filling in where need be and becomming beautiful (still need wig though due to length).
The good :0)
I pass (from what I gathered) if people dont know me before.
I am 100 times closer with my daughter
I am living true and authentic and not lieing to myself anymore
Depression is reduced
I am 100 times nicer and pleasant as a person (according to work and friends)
My inlaws accept me but dont accept my wife for being a lesbian so there are rifts there.
Im becoming more and more happy
The bad :0(
I can only talk to a very select few of my extended family members since I present female full time.
There are restaurants and other establishments where I frequent once male now female and they are very close minded (patrons and staff)
My marriage is suffering :0( because my wife is having hard time seeing the man she married to transition and now its reality that im full time. Its like we are best friends and roommates vs a couple.
Even though work accepts, I am limited to who I can socialize with.
Anyway thats me in a nutshell so far. Feel free to ask questions or comment.
