Kathy's journey

KATHY!!  I meant to reply yesterday, I'm so messed up.

I'm so happy for you. I'll reserve the squeee. You're probably having trouble finding a place for the ones that you have now. I'll give it to you at a later date.

I think this calls for a SQUEEEEE!!
So Dr. Brassard's clinic has all my paperwork, and I am officially in the queue!

Not being one of the squeee crowd, (I'm too cheap to pay the usage fees)

I'll just say congratulations and happy for you.

All SQUEEEEs (and alternatives) gratefully received, regardless of timing.

Thanks, ladies!

I went to the beauty school for a haircut.  My real hair was long enough that stuffing it under a wig was getting to be a chore.  The beauty school is cheap, and the students work under fairly close supervision, so they do a good job.

Since a haircut involves taking my wig off in public (*eek*! *shudder*!), I put on makeup and dressed nicely to minimize the chance of misgendering and to (mostly) control my own dysphoria.  I thought I actually looked pretty good in the mirror, even without my wig.

I had no reason to suspect that anyone there misgendered me.  At least, if they thought it, they kept it to themselves.  After I gave them a "teaching moment" last year, they might even have included some trans awareness in their curriculum.

It is wonderful for me to read that you navigated your hair gauntlet successfully.
A happy moment for sure for you!!!
