I've never been allowed on or near my children's schools since transitioning.

That's really sad to hear, surely she can't stop you though. Kisses and hugs

Cut off by family, living alone, sleeping alone.

I hate the "holiday season".

Earth my body, water my blood, air my breath and fire my spirit.

My personal transition path included medical changes.  The path others take may require no medical intervention, or different care.  We each find our own path. I provide these dates for the curious.

What made me unhappy today was the fact I had just realized it has been 3 years since I have been last able to dress as Bobbi Anne. I miss it so much, but my wife hates it and has 'forbid' me from dressing if we want to keep our marriage together. Just feeling down at seeing all the pretty clothes on sale that I would love to wear.

Does anyone else (I'm in the closet btw) get those days where they just can't be around people because seeing everyone in your desired gender is just making you feel really jealous and dysphoric? Wondered if it was just me

A regular guest hadn't been visiting us. I saw on her facebook page she started cancer treatment last summer. There are no further entries since, it doesn't look good

Absolutely, Sinead! Only three months ago my wife and I went to one of the huge communities here in Florida that have activities going in the square every night. As we were having dinner I watched women walking around outside in their pretty sundresses and colorful shorts and clothes, just enjoying themselves, and the thought that I'd never ever be able to experience that overwhelmed me, and I had a huge meltdown.

But you know what? It really does get better. I've now gone full-time, and last Tuesday my wife and I went to that same community, took part in a trivia contest, ate dinner, and walked around the square enjoying the music and visiting the vendors, all with me in my new role. It was awesome!

So don't let it get to you too much. Believe me, you can do it, too.

Cried because of my ex. Again. I want to be with him and he doesn't reject me but doesn't take me back either. We're both in limbo and I'm tired of feeling sad.

When you do something nice for a stranger and they respond with; 'Nice! You're the MAN!' So you respond politely with; 'I'm not a man..' So they upgrade to; 'Thank you sir!' In the same exchange..

Lesson learned; heck with everybody. I'm done helping idiots.

Megan.

My job requires me to create 4 minute information videos that get distributed out across my company (tens of thousands) every 3-4 weeks.

It's never fun having to record and edit myself mid-transition with a still very poor voice.

Not nice knowing there will be an indelible record of my transition floating around for years to come [emoji853].

So sorry Megan. I feel with you on this topic.

Might be an odd suggestion but have you looked around, there is software which can change the pitch of your voice into a more female range? Would be a bit more editing work but the results are interesting (as long as you don't crank it up to 11, then you would sound like Mini Mouse). There may even be software you can just run inline while recording, so you could save some work.

You could even re-edit some of the older videos and adjust the pitch ;-)

Sarah,  that's a good idea, if only I wasn't too lazy to bother [emoji23].
The fact is that,  I should be doing more practice,  and that I'm proud of who and what I am, and I won't hide that. [emoji4]

I've been dressing more to my liking even at work without 'outing'. If they think something is odd, so be it, I don't care. I am me.
I left the door open, only a few came through. such is my life.
