What made you happy today? For mtF members only, please. 2.0

[SoraKat]

my gf noticed my butt has grown to a size that its finally noticeable that i have butt cheeks at all xD

started a lower body exercise month long challenge just to see what actual effort can do for a rear end, and, to quote my gf, "holy ->-bleeped-<-! you actually have an ass now!" XD

Driving on the freeway on one of the last warm days of the season. The windows are down and the soft breeze is blowing up my skirt, causing it to flip and flutter and tickle my legs!!

[Fresas con Nata]

Today I received my finasteride tablets. Not that I recommend doing what I did, but this made me happy anyway.

[Galyo]

I've had my third appointment with my psychologist at the gender-clinic in Amsterdam today. He asked me some rough questions about my past, but nothing that's not relevant to the topic of ->-bleeped-<-. He also told me up front that they could never actually make somebody a real woman or man, but that they could only feminize transgender women to a certain extend. At the end of the day, I would still be tall and I could likely still be bearing the same masculine traits that I do now ever since I went through puberty. He also congratulated me for being out towards all my friends and family-members. I liked hearing that from him, and it most certainly made me feel happy today.

I have monthly appointments at the gender-clinic now, and I hope to see some progress. I want to stay as positive as I can, but I can't help but feel like I'm not ever going to feel completely happy. I don't want to feel like I need to off myself just to get rid of this internal struggle that's going on inside me every single day, just because I still grow a beard and look like some masculine freak that thinks he can be a woman some day. I feel like I have to take a huge leap of faith, and it does make me slightly uncomfortable, but this faith is the only thing I have right now.

I'm sorry for ending this post on such a sour note, but it helps to clear my brain.

Don't worry too much, Galyo. I'm 57 and I've been on HRT for 2 years. I'm 5 feet 10 inches (1.8 metres) tall and weigh about 190 pounds (86 kilos). I've never had laser, electrolysis or any surgery and yet I almost never get misgendered. Learn about makeup, change the things you can change and, above all, look at all the various women around you. You'll soon see that you can fit in just fine! Don't let misgendering panic you. Women who've looked like women their entire lives still have it happen to them. Soon the only one criticizing you will be you, and that, my girl, is the nature of being a woman.

I got dressed pretty much as usual and went to pick up Randi from work. I had to stop at the gas station of this sweet old Sikh man who I've patronized before. Today for the first time ever he called me "dear" instead of "sir"!

It's almost Boot Season!

I was asked by my spouse to run out to Trader Joes to pick up some goodies for the weekend.  Hmmm...  That's near the mall.  The mall has a Bliss Shoes, cheap women's shoes up to my size...  And there's a Claire's there, for small shiny things (and more kawaii stuff than anyone could possibly carry...).

The wheels begin to turn.  Slowly they turn.  Inch by inch... Step by step...

I'm here alone, spouse out for the day.  I've got electrolysis tomorrow, so I'm pretty hairy in the face.  But, I just got this new theatrical concealer (Ben Nye).  Time to give it a test.  Hmmm... Yup, all the hair is now orange and slightly tacky.  Foundation, do your thing!

20 minutes later, the eyes are done, foundation, bronzer, and translucent powder are down, brushes are clean, jeans, fitted blouse, wig are GO!   Off to the mall and Trader Joes.

Bliss had a few different just-below-the-knee styles with a reasonable heel.  I'm 5'8", and a 4" heel is just a spiffy way to be noticed and intimidate people, so I stick with the lower stuff, plucking a couple off the rack to try.  Toes are tight in one, but the black ones with the silver calf buckle feel good. 

"I'll take these."  I hand over the card. "Oh, I'll need to see an ID."  Urk!  THUD!  "Um, here.  It's a little out of date..."  She takes the ID and turns to the register.  She looks down at the ID.  She looks up at me, grinning at her.  I chuckle a little.  She starts giggling.  "Hey, we've all got to start from somewhere..."  She rings up the sale and hands me the receipt, still smiling.  I tell her I think I'll wear them out, and she clips the tag and gives me a bag for my old shoes, still smiling.  Thanks!

Just smile and roll with it.  Even stuff that could have gone badly can turn out well.

Oh, Claire's did have small shiny things.  Yaaay!  I bought some, including goofy little magnetic earrings because I'm too chicken to get my ears pierced.  (Said the woman going in for electrolysis AGAIN tomorrow.)  And groceries were bought without incident, but that's boring.

I had another happy day.  I'm enjoying being me.  And that's what it is really all about, isn't it?

[SadieBlake]

Yesterday I went to the group art studio I'm a member of to drop flyers for an art show I'm participating in and happily some friends who've been away most of the summer were working and I could share recent news and catch up.

Wonderful women, I enjoy their company.

[Denni]

Four weeks today since the start of HRT, can slowly feel my emotions changing and the bitterness, and lack of patience, with others leaving my every day life.

[Anne Blake]

I met an old friend at a local café this morning for breakfast. I hadn't seen him in quite some time and he had neither met nor heard about Anne. Beings as he is a rather right wing conservative Christian, I was terrified about damaging our relationship. He stood in the middle of the restaurant looking for me but not seeing me when I walked up and introduced myself. It took a bit for him to recognize who was standing before him but when he did, he broke into a wide smile, laughed rather loudly but warmly and gave me one of the best hugs I have ever had. We talked for an hour and a half and he never once asked why or questioned my choices. Yes, that kind of made my day. And the tears are still flowing.

Beautiful, Anne!

[islandgirl]

What a great way to start the day, Anne!

[Anne Blake]

Michelle,

I must compliment you on quite the perfect day. Taking advantage of a random opportunity, great. Scoring with both boots and bling, wow. Following it up with that kind of affirmation from the sales gal.....priceless! And all the while doing it with a day before electrolysis scruff, you are my girl! I really do need to learn from your style.

Anne

Thanks for the reassuring words. I just needed to vent a little, I suppose. I'm 1.86 m (6 ft 10) tall and it does hurt a bit when my psychologist underscored this fact.

Thankfully I don't have to wait long until my next appointments, so I have some reason to try and stay optimistic.

[Dena]

I am 6'2" which works out to 188 cm and while I was up to 203 pounds, I am currently around 170 pounds. Height has not been an issue in passing dating back to the days I went full time. Finding clothes that would fit was sometimes an issue but most everything I need comes from tall shops. In addition, I have seen site members that are taller than me and they have not had issues with passing either. If you wear your height with pride, you will only be admired. And by the way, it also helps if you stick to flats. Heals can be uncomfortable and really aren't needed.

[Galyo]

Really? I suppose I'm just thinking too much about it. I do experience a lot of trouble with buying clothes. Especially buying proper shoes can be a real disaster.

[Yuusui]

Long, beautiful talk about my transition with my wife and coming out to my youngest brother and sister in law. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted.

[becky.rw]

Bought my first pair of women's jeans, and I've come to realize, I should have been buying women's jeans my entire life.  THEY FIT!!!!!  (ok, I mail ordered and the waist is a little big, but no more hip crushing squish combined with a lose, flappy waist!)

Only downside, if I wear them all the way up and snug; that unpleasant thing in the front becomes obvious... cleaver or duct tape, not sure which is more appealing...

Oh, and I watched a netflix movie last night that gave me some mild "feels" before hrt...  my brain melted.  It was glorious.

So feeling pretty fine this morning!

[alex82]

Hey! The GV jeans may be a oldie but they are darn comfortable and fit me like a glove.

Today's another good one. I had 2 hours of electrolysis, then got my flu shot, hit the  hardware store for some special wood screws for new bed frame rails I'm making, and now I'm in a Panera Bread having an iced tea and Thai chicken salad (small). I've cot my little black sneakers, Buffalo ankle high pants, and a white sleeveless loose top with a cutout on the front. The pink push-up underneath barely shows. Ginger blonde hair, new makeup (naughty!  Right after electro!) and Carey's glasses complete the look.

Poison?  Nope, Nirvana Black. I love sandalwood.

Happy?  You betcha. I'm me!

Whatever works! Enjoy it all X

That's no naughty after electro! But if it works for your skin, who cares!

[Fresas con Nata]

Traveled to Spain—it's always a great day when I do that. Will spend next week here. Today I was at a mall with my bestie (40.4763567N, 3.479958W) and spent 100+ EUR on clothing and stuff: tights, ballerinas, hangers, shirt, t-shirt, skater skirt, eye shadows, lipliner, eyeliner and moah.

Shopping is such a strange thing. I wanted to buy things I already have...
