Hit the -30 pounds lost mark today. I felt comfortable enough last night to go out bare midriff to a club. I got a lot of compliments on how I'm now looking. 😊

Ya mean the whippersnappers and rapscallions don't get down and get funky no more? No more zoot suits with reet pleats that wow the bejabbers offa 'em? They was the bee's knees!

Sheesh. What's this world coming to?

23 Skidoo!

I made my first laser hair removal appointment this morning It's the only place in town that uses current technology, so if not for them I would have to travel four hours to the closest best option.

I'm looking forward to a future of not crying when I shave.

Had a friend who saw me in a dress for the first time: It will take some getting used to but you make a pretty women...

Wife surprised me with some new clothes in my drawer the other day. She also wrote a note that said "For when you need to feel like you.❤️". Broke down into tears and I'm not even on hormones yet[emoji23]. I would have bet 3 houses that I didn't own that she wouldn't/couldn't do something like that when I first came out. The journey she has taken in such a short time! Love my woman!

Oh and been in womens underwear and sports bra all day today and have loved it!

Yesterday was my birthday. For what seems like my entire adult life, my hope when I opened a present was to find something pretty inside, and I had to paste on a fake smile when it wasn't.

Yesterday I found two beautiful tops in the gift from my wife. Yes, we both experienced ocular leakage, too.

Congrats on having a great wife, Vicki. Mine is pretty special, too.

I have a middle name! 

I expected a disaster when I came out to my parents in July.  (This thread in the Coming Out forum).  My prediction was so wrong... they were immediately supportive and in favor of my decision. 

I visited this weekend, figured it would be a nice gesture to have my parents choose my middle name.  In 1963 they chose my birth name (Ken) because it fits two cultures and has a Japanese Kanji character (my dad's ancestry is Welsh).  I expected them to come up with a Japanese middle name as a counterpart to Kendra. 

I told them to take their time, no rush - and my dad immediately said "Faye. Your middle name should be Faye with an e."  I wasn't ready for that answer.  His middle name is Fay and he has always hated his own middle name... and I reminded him of that.  But his problem was having that name as a male, kids in school teased him because the word's origin is Fairy.  He sincerely thinks it's a beautiful name for his daughter.  My mom agrees.  Now that I think about it, what a great way to have my dad finally feel good about his middle name 86 years after his parents thought of it.  And mine.

Transition has been one surprise after another.

What a sweet gesture! Passing a name across generations is a sign of pride. By him chasing his middle name in a female variant shows he is still very proud of you! Congratulations...

Hugs Sarah

I went to WalMart today.  Mascara, and purse in mostly my lady clothes. Only T-shirt and shoes were male.  No one said anything, or even let on that they noticed.  The lady at the register told me she didn't believe I was 43, and thought I was 30 or so.  She also called me baby doll as I left.   Either she was being really nice, or My voice is doing great, and I am somewhat more passable than I think I am.

[Artesia]

A fun time again today.  Went to Applebee's with my friend and my wife. I had my mascara on, and carried my purse, but all my exterior clothing was male.  The waitress came to the table and asked how us ladies were doing.  Happy face   Still going.

Yesterday I went to the Trans Health Philadelphia conference and learned a lot that is super applicable right now, and heading back today as well. Yesterday was also the first time I was out, in public, as my true self.

Of course I found out that one of my friends spotted me in a newscast in the evening about the event, but at least I'm already out to that person.

Felt so good, natural and right to me and was very confirming of the path I'm on.

I have reconnected with my friend Evie. I kind of erked her because I commented on Milania's choice of stilettos over boots.

Went to Gender Odyssey a couple weeks ago. 1300 people just like me. It was my first experience in public outside the doctors office. Isn't it a wonderful experience to be with people like ourselves and learn from them? Have a great time.

My hair sometimes has a mind of it's own. For the past two days it has looked like crap. this morning I get up and rake my fingers through it and it looks perfect! It's exactly the shape I have been trying for so long to get! I guess I have changed more than I thought. Happy Dance!

Yay! I know exactly how you feel.
I can generally not do anything with my (real) hair. It just sticks out wherever & no amount of mousse, gel, or paste can change it's mind. Then some days (like today!) it just randomly decides to be perfect.
