New hair colour time. Few more shades and I'll be happy. Given I'm 40% grey it should be easy to maintain...
Every day is a totally awesome day
Every day provides opportunities and challenges
Every challenge leads to an opportunity
Every fear faced leads to one more strength
Every strength leads to greater success
Success leads to self esteem
Self Esteem leads to happiness.
Cherish every day.

@krobinson103
Your new hair color looks great, but it is so much fun experimenting with shades and colors.
Hmmm, where is your smile in that picture ???

Thank you for sharing and posting,

I swear every term moving my classroom furniture is getting harder. I'm struggling to move relatively heavy desks now. Might have to start to work out a little... there is a cost to having low muscle mass!

Maybe your students who can help might help you move some of the desks too? 

A little muscle toning is usually good though.   :)

On reflection...

I am pleased to be able to show people that being trans is ok... and you not something to hide. But, today I found something that pleased me more. Dressed as I was today (which wasn't overly different to any number of women at the hospital to be honest) I just blended. So much in fact I sat there and watched the guys looking around for our group to arrive. I must have looked in his direction for 2-3 minutes and never picked me as trans... given he was looking for trans people to meet him he was primed. :)

Yay!

Had a good conversation with Linda (my girl friend) this afternoon. We are on the same page and have a good time line but its still two years before any major changes are possible in terms of living etc. I suppose good things take time. :)

I'm getting very good at ... waiting ...

A red letter day!

As mentioned earlier in this thread Transgender medical services in New Zealand when it comes to SRS were... very poor. In addition health insurance excluded SRS - and I tried many companies. Today it was announced that the government is lifting the surgery cap. This means many more surgeries will be performed and with a qualified surgeon now up and running things are looking up.

Realistically with the backlog its still years of waiting and I'll probably just go private anyway but there is hope now if money is not available.

On other fronts...

I feel I am more than accepted these days. Lately no one looks at me any different to anyone else. Today at the supermarket I really looked for odd looks etc. There aren't any. Not a one.  Been talking with my girlfriend. She will transition very soon (waiting on a really slow letter it seems) and it looks like in two years we will be able to implement plan start again.

For the last few weeks this feeling of ... calm ... is upon me. Other than genital dysphoria (will be resolved) I feel... right. Like I'm no longer fighting myself or my nature cause they finally match. I feel powerful, at home in my skin, very feminine, and no longer afraid of being me.

That sounds like good times with your daughter.  That is very nice.

Well its been a while since I updated this and some interesting developments have come along.

Finally making progress on sorting out household issues. Building garden shed and getting garage carpet so I will soon have a space I can call my own.

Had a fun BBQ with the local trans girls and crashed a friends house for the night (to sleep....) which I haven't done for a while! years.

Relationship with wife is stable, girl friend is coming along as well as I can hope given the circumstances.

Ala our very own Alaska it now seems I have another suiter... a man this time. I don't know that its a good idea to encourage interest given I have my hands pretty full but I am quite lonely...

Every day is totally awesome day and never dull it seems!

@krobinson103
Thank you for your update....  all good news in several areas of your life.
I love it, you are building for yourself a place of your own.... a woman shed.

It sounds like your BBQ was indeed a fun time.... and very self-assuring for you.

I am very glad that you have found a way to have a stable agreement with your wife..... 
....oh, and your girlfriend... I will be looking for your future updates to tell us more about that.

Ahhhh,  having Suitors
, yes indeed that is most assuring and confidence building for most transgenders.
This suitor stuff is brand new for all of us MTF or FTM  alike.   
The big important thing for me that I always share on my thread is that I try to not go too quickly with romantic relationships... runaway emotions is something that I have to keep control of... and that can be most difficult because of my inexperience being the one that is pursued.   

I love your final thought about everyday being awesome.
Thank you for sharing and posting... your followers are your biggest fans.
Hugs,
Danielle
