Actually I agree. It makes me jump too. Not much pain just startling.

hey girls I hope you all had a great weekend. As you would have seen on FB I got my first appointment with a Psychiatrist that specializes in gender gysphoria. it's soo exciting. to be honest I'm a little surprised I'm this excited about it. but it will be good to get the whole process moving 'cause it could take a while.

I totally get the excitement, one more step forward!!!

Yeah an important step forward forward. I just find myself being surprised about what I'm getting excited about. To me it just confirms for me that I'm on the right track. I wonder every now and then if transitioning was the right choice. I haven't had any real doubts and the thought I normally have is "of course it is because I'm not going to stop." Since getting excited about something is an automatic response it just validates what I'm thinking. Have you girls had any similar experiences?

[Rachel_Christina]

Oh I'v been so excited all the way, but at the same time, if I ever worry I just think back to how I was before.
The past few days me and mother have been talking much more positively together about me. It will be even better when I get home though to properly talk.
Its funny It was me really standing up for myself, spiting fire that got her listening, Its my life and I'm able to fire of every tiny detail, and have been dealing with this over and over in my head, so I know every response to any questions or attacks.
Mam is deffinitly getting ther!

[Jenny0713]

I've been rooting for you all along Sarah!  So happy you are making progress.   You've gotta be on cloud #9.

New pic, Christine?  Looks good!

Thanks tasha, it did turn out nice, :')
I don't look like that now at work ha, pumping wine here ther and everywher.

How are things going for you Tasha? What are your plans?

[Rebecca]

So glad you got your psych appointment moved forward especially when it saves years.
Excitement totally justified. I find everything in my life is almost a continual validation that all is getting closer to normal. From the boring stuff life getting ready for work (shower, dress, hair, face etc) to the fun stuff like party dress shopping last night it's all good.

As for whether it's the right decision I'd dismiss it as a decision at all. It's life pure and simple. We're not choosing between 2 people to be we are just finally being ourselves.

Best test I guess is my fear of being turned into him again. I'd fight to my death before I'd accept accept living as anyone else.

Just like anyone else saying it's a decision not to be bitten by a zombie

New pic looking good.

I love snapchat filters they're just so much fun. Wish we could patch this reality with them as that would be so cool.

Personal fave the vamp one I just love the long fangs

[SarahElizabeth1981]

Good on you for standing up for yourself with your mum Christine. I'm that way with my mum now about my name. She still dead names me all the time and I promptly tell her that's not my name or ask her who she is talking to. She apologizes and then calls me Sarah.

Yeah I'm on cloud nine. I've been much happier since I started transitioning but lately I've been going to bed with a big smile on my face.  The last month has been pretty eventful some really good some really bad but it's so great to be taking a couple big leaps forward on my progress. I just wish I would hear from the voice therapist. That's kind of the last big thing to get going.

oh I keep forgetting to mention... I've also lost 8 lbs and 2 inches on my waist. Finally some noticeable change.

I hope you girls are doing good. 

[Rachel_Christina]

Thanks Sarah!!
Oh I had to nail her,the same old crap she woyld keep saying to me, and I just exploded, she hadn't a leg to stand on! But she has been much better since!

[Rebecca]

Hell hath no fury.... ♡

So glad everything is going well especially the getting in shape. I'm scared to check the scale and just finished first aerobics classes for over a month. Between that and eating like a bear preparing for hibernation I'm screwed lol.

Congrats Sarah!  That's great!  I have been trying to lose weight too but it hasn't been going very well. Just in the last day or so I have decided to try a low carb diet to see if that helps and if I can handle it. Gotta do something. Been very frustrated looking at my belly in the mirror lately. Wish me luck.

Random fun I saw 2 of my tenants that I hadn't seen for ages. They asked me what happened to Gerard so I just said "He moved on and I'm doing his job now". After that they were asking if I was enjoying my new job etc y'know general getting to know you chit chat and then....... they were slagging of my predecessor!!!

Was so funny to be with people that knew him for years but couldn't connect me to him to the point they could easily dis him to me. Nothing nasty but I really enjoyed it.

So awesome it really made my day as I had been expecting to have to explain myself when I was on my way there. Then turns out I didn't have to

[Tasha_]

Awesome Jerrica!!!!
