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

This is more of a "What made me happy the last couple days" post. The day before our 15th anniversary I had a long talk with my wife about my therapy and what will probably need to happen. She was extremely supportive. Friday we headed out of town for a weekend of celebration and the entire time I dressed as my preferred gender. I was treated as a woman everywhere we went. I was very pleased. The only downside to the weekend is that my wife has to work on not calling me "He" when we are out.

I was working today and a woman referred to me as she.

I got my updated birth certificate that says my proper name and gender!

T = 6 ng/dL

now I just need to choke up the courage to say the other T word in front of the doc...   that being "transition please..."
lol.

Yah.  Yesterday for me was bitter.  Today though, I see my therapist.

Time to get this show on the road!  I want it all!

I was just shopping at Target for work while wearing my work uniform which is a red shirt and black pants. While pushing the cart down the alley, I passed a mother and her small son. He said,"she works here and she is shopping." That really brightened my day.

At six weeks post-op my vagina looks almost normal.

2 minutes ago the flight attendant just said "here you are ladies" when she put the pretzels down between my seat mate and myself.

Of course, I'm in guy mode. Hoodie, jeans, and no makeup. 

I just smiled. 

Male fail FTW!

My therapist pointed me to the Transgender Law Center, and I grabbed the sample letters for gender marker changes for a court order, SS card, and passport, along with the Department of Motor Vehicles form.

I just sent an e-mail off to my endocrinologist asking her to do my letters up as part of my move to full-time.  Wheeee!

Finally had the courage to schedule a therapist appointment and got really lucky - only a mile from where I live, transgender as specialty and accepts my insurance. Even better only a two week wait for being a new patient. Pretty happy.

I've mentioned elsewhere that, after I ruined a ghost costume one Halloween, my mother dressed me as a little old lady.

Yesterday I bought my first mascara. I get comfortable and reasonably skilled with each type of makeup before adding another. The sensation of putting mascara on myself for the first time a few minutes ago released a memory of that Halloween. I think, perhaps, my mother would have understood and accepted me much more than I had thought.

It's a good thing I bought a waterproof mascara or these tears would be doing it in about now!

I went clothes shopping (again!) today.  Well, I need winter clothes, don't I?

I used to loathe clothes shopping as a man: all those nice things on the other side of the aisle, but I had to buy the same drab stuff that everyone else was wearing.

Now, I love clothes shopping!  I really like being able to choose clothes that make me feel good.   I am finding that I have tastes that my wife approves of, which is great for the confidence.  Luckily we have some good discount stores in the area, and a couple of really neat second-hand stores that have some sweet vintage clothes.

I have nice coats for fall and winter, and a decent collection of skirts, pants, and tops.  In fact, it is time to start getting rid of my guy clothes to make room in the closet.  I got a basic pair of shoes today, too, size 11.

All I need now is a wig, so I can wear some of these clothes outside without scaring little kids.

Congrats girlfriend. So happy for you. I wish more transwomen could have your experience. I hope that more men will discover the special women that we are.

Came out to another neighbor and was greeted with the biggest hug!

Have my annual doctor's appt today.  Looking forward to it and the realization I have been medically transitioning in earnest for a solid year makes me happy!

Found a mentor to help me through this journey. Met her yesterday on Facebook. Turns out that we used to work together at a previous base, so this gives me a familiar face to turn to. She's been super helpful and I'm looking forward to further correspondence.

Thanks Jess.... I think we are accepted more and more each day as an everyday part of society and part of the many benefits of that will be more and more men that view us as a viable part of the relationship landscape!!!
