What made you unhappy today? 7.0

 I actually drove an hour to my county justice building to pick a new name change form to see what it requires now since the new law took affect this past January. It was closed for weather. Arrg

I've been getting my name changed various places, and had almost forgotten about my car insurance. So I called up Progressive, and also mentioned that I'm legally female now, too. Because of the gender change they raised my rates $25 / 6 months!!! 
Apparently I'm officially a crazy woman driver?! Aren't I supposed to do my nails in the car?  While texting?

pffft ... everyone knows that you can't do your nails and text, you'll mess up your nails. facial makeup is ok for multitasking

Plus you'd get polish all over the screen. I do limit the makeup to powder and lipstick while driving. Eyeliner not recommended!

[Sarah_P]

I just turn on the cruise control! Then I can do whatever. You don't even have to touch the wheel!

I don't really have any friends or family but there is a group of people I'm friendly with that I see in Central Park while walking the dog. One of them is trans and I have been looking forward to telling her I started HRT. Today was a glorious day in NYC so I went down there and I was hoping we'd have a nice chat, maybe have lunch and I'd have someone to share with. So I tell her and she says Lemme know how that goes, and walks off. She wasn't being inconsiderate or anything I don't think. It was a let down and a hard reality check. A reminder that even though I'm still an egg with only a month and a half of HRT behind me I need to be careful to temper my expectations. That even if I get the SRS I desire so much that there's a good chance I'll still just spend all day in bed. That no matter how what I do I'll never be a real person.

tl;dr First person I told that I started HRT barely acknowledged me.

I'm sorry that happened to you, but don't let it get you down. If it was me I would have been happy for you (I am!) and given you a big hug. Here, have a virtual ::HUG::!

People can be strange for any number of reasons. I'm just pulling thoughts out of the air, but it could be something like she's so fragile that she feels her uniqueness is being threatened by an "egg." Or maybe she can't afford or was denied HRT. Or maybe she just had a bad day. It's a shame she couldn't bring herself to be supportive, but she's only one person with her own problems. Don't forget all your sisters and brothers here who are joyful for you.

I'm not mad at her at all. It was presumptive of me to think I could just spring that on a person. She's good people.

Thanks for the kind words.

Work cut my hours down to 4 hours after I applied for a job and didnt get it. Hilariously because without putting it on the job description or application pack, my boss told me 'youre the prime candidate but we only want a lady for the role, which you are not.' Now Im pissed off enough as is that I lost out, but him saying that was a double slap he didnt realize. Him saying that too me though has confirmed 2 things to me.

1. I dont want to work there.
2. Im actually within my rights to threaten legal action after Im told the only reason I didnt get it was because of whats between my legs. Im writing to the head office of our area and leaving a note at the bottom that if there is no action on this (which is against the equality act of 2010) I will be taking it to the very top of the organisation and may whatever god or cosmic forces are out there help the entire Fylde Coast branch of the YMCA if that happens. They can either settle or I will do my utmost to bleed them of ever bit of money I can. Im fuming.

Wow!!! That does suck!!! That's like a bop on the head and a kick butt at the same time, I'd be pissed too

I was about to ask 'well what about your other minorities' but that would involve outing myself to the company and one of them I know is a transphobe (if youre a man, be a man its that simple, is something I have heard him say when hes out of earshot of one of our transgender members) and I dont think I would be allowed to keep working there

Seeing him in the mirror the last two days.
WTF?.  Wednesday I felt great and even put up a pic in the Fabulous thread.  Last two days I've absolutely hated the mirror.
 
Added medroxyprogesterone to the HRT last week but think it's too soon to blame that.

Maybe it's time to color my hair again, roots are starting to show

That I can't stop tearing up, and I don't want to talk about it.  Both of those I'm sad about.
