Gave myself another injection, that makes me happy

I finally told my whole family. The reactions were mixed, but the one I least expected to be even remotely tolerant was my father. Damn. He surprised the hell out of me.  All he could say was, "Wow. (ad nauseam) Well, this doesn't change anything between us. You're still my kid and I will always love you, no matter what you do." This made my heart feel so alive. The fire is alive in me and I'm about to divulge the info on facebook to everybody. I feel that I can do anything, now. I feel unstoppable, thanks to the one I didn't expect to get that from.

You're awesome, Ashley! I know I did the work, but I don't think I could have done any of it without the support of those from this forum and from those I've talked with before coming out to everybody. It's so liberating.

There are many great threads on this site, this being one of them. Yes, we all struggle, from as trivial as how to survive a broken nail to how can I survive in life.......But dedicating a thread with so many stories of celebration is awesome. Sharing and reading about what makes and keeps life magic is one of the major legs of support and all of you are doing it so well.

And I just got another piece of that magic this morning that I can't keep to myself. Anne has been out and about to varying degrees for some time now. The one significant person that I could not share with has been my nine year old grand daughter (for relational/legal risks). For quite some time I have so longed to share Anne with her. Well that constraint has been removed and I had breakfast at a local café with her this morning.....can't tell you how scared I was! She is never a morning person and she takes everything from the "Ewww, that's gross" stand point. I was shaking like a leaf when she came in and hugged me. When I asked her what she thought (yes, that was pushing the risk factor), her response was, "Your neat, I love you". Your neat, I love you; the sweetest group of words that I have ever heard. And yes, I will be useless for at least the rest of the day!

You have had a rough trot the last little while and deserve some happiness. I do hope everything is going better for you now.

My wife went to therapy with me for the first time. The therapist was very good at asking her questions to see how she "really" feels. As I thought and had expressed in previous sessions, she is incredibly supportive. Her concerns are directed strictly to my well being. It was wonderful have the confirmation that I had her support 100%.

That's really amazing!  And honestly, you have my respect for telling them, and my envy for the way things went.  I hope you continue to have such good fortune! 

[sarah1972]

Had to introduce Sarah to one of my customers (I work in IT consulting). Response pretty much was: finally- I have been waiting for you telling me since the summer. Guess the idea of clear nail polish and girl boots not being noticed did not work. Oh... and today she showed up with a bag full of cloth she thought might fit me... awesome! A big load of my shoulder since I just started a new 18 month project with them....

[SiobhánF]

That's really amazing!  And honestly, you have my respect for telling them, and my envy for the way things went.  I hope you continue to have such good fortune! 

It certainly felt amazing. Thank you.

I also made the announcement on facebook and the response was overwhelming. I didn't know I had so many good people in my life. I half-expected to lose a few people, but not a one said or did anything that made me feel like I needed to sever my ties with them. I know this isn't the end, but I'm gonna be riding this high for a while.

Had to do something to keep from falling into a further funk over election.

This was far from a happy day. But the outpouring of support throughout my various social circles made me ... well, maybe not happy, but grateful nonetheless.

Following some links from and article in BusinessWeek I discovered that I may actually be a Canadian citizen. I don't know if I'll take advantage of that, but I feel less backed into a closet.

[Pisces228]

I have been crying for almost 2 days but today my boss told me that she cares and will try her best to keep me safe.  That made me happy.

I was able to catch up with a good friend yesterday as a brief punctuation in a too busy day. We commiserated over our fears for the coming four years and how the left can best continue to make effective change to move the nation forward.

I drank just one beer too many last night after a long day of work and being seriously fatigued from lack of sleep election night and a busy schedule all week. That was good and then this morning it was less so, I woke hungover, eventually puked and spent the day quietly reading and doing a little bit of work.

Finally I decided to get myself off and experienced my strongest girl-flavored orgasm yet, not a bad hangover palliative.

Today marks 11 weeks since I underwent GCS and I feel great.  I have been given clearance from my doctor to begin running again and I have been given clearance to have sex (which is good because I already did that).

As many here have already noted we have awoken to a different political climate than just a few days ago.  Our local Q  Center board of directors has been bringing people together for solace, reassurance and support.  I am packing now for a retreat with our Board at a very funky old lodge that features ancient but restored travel trailers.  Being together to establish our priorities and renew our commitments to each other and our community is just the antidote we need. 

Once again, thinking globally and acting locally where we really do make a difference.  Keeping our heads up all!

My wife and I came out to her parents this morning. My mother in law called and talked with my mom after that and it sounds like they had a wonderful talk. When I talked with my mother about it she made a reference to me as her daughter for the first time. She hasn't been taking the news well, so that was an amazing step.

Then, mom sent a photo of me to my mother in law and told me that I looked good in the picture. I sent her the one that is my avatar since it is more recent and I now have bangs. She said that was even better. Today seems to be a turning point!

A little girls night out with a couple of other members here.

[Joanne Feliz]

I went to the shopping mall today and tried on some fab clothes. Check out my Instagram
Www.instagram.com/joannefeliz had fun shopping.

Aside that when I was in the mall I decided to go and get some food.  I was wearing cool green tartan trousers and a black silk ladies collarless shirt. It doesn't look overtly feminine and a man can pull it off it think. Anyhow I don't think I was looking girly at all(check the pics and let me know if I look like a girl). I mean I think I look obviously like a guy.

I went into a restaurant and I went to the counter to get order a pizza and the waiter said what can I get you madam.  It really surprised me as I start to wonder how others see me. So I said in an obviously male voice I'll order Ina bit after I looked at the menu.

So I ordered my food and was eating away, I noticed a family struggling with some plastic cutlery so I put my hand up to catch the waiters attention and he said quite loud how can I help you madam. I don't remember if that was the same person or if he was mocking me because I don't really look like a girl.  I'm confused now.

Anyway it made me happy even though he may have mocked me or just tried to be nice I really don't know.

I also went into the Mac store to mess around with some makeup lol.
