Hi Lil' Sis,

That day is going to come. You can count on it, for Laurie has spoken! I am sure you will enjoy your time spent socializing with a couple other girls like yourself. If you are like me you will not even worry about being out in public and once you are with them you will not even think of being uncomfortable. You will just be one of the girls and that is all that will count. Trust me, I've been there about 9 times and went full time as a result. It is great to not worry about it all the time. Granted there are some situations that I still lack confidence but only a few. If I can do it you can too.

Hugs,
Laurie

Thank you big sis, you have done so much for my confidence and I love you for it.

This morning I had a revelation. As I was dressing, I went to get some clean panties from the drawer and only found "Jeff's" underwear. Couldn't put those on. Found clean ones in the laundry. This is a big mental step for me. I need to get rid of those items that I don't use anymore.

When I was part-time, I kept a couple of pairs of guy's underwear in case I ever needed to go and stay in someone's house for a day or two while presenting as male. I was so happy to get rid of them!

Laurie · January 21, 2018, 11:19:36 AM

Hey Lil' Sis,

I didn't get rid of my guy clothes for a couple months after going full time. I just wasn't ready to let go of that tether "just in case". I wore panties almost exclusively for many years but maintained an almost new supply just for overnight visits and doctor appointments. I even put clean male underwear in the wash to keep up appearances when my sister was doing our laundry. It really is silly what us closeted dressers will do to maintain our covers. Anyway, I finally did cut that cord and have given away what could be used by my sister (pants) and my nephew. The rest is pretty much boxed up for good will or the trash. My nephew even got some shoes and boots I had collecting dust for years.
Think about if you are ready to cut that cord and if you are, then do it girl, even it it is just the underwear. It is another step in becoming who you know you are. There is no rush.

Hugs,
Laurie.

Thanks big sis, you can critique when we visit Michelle. You can be "Francine" (frank) with me. I can't be mad at my big sister forever. Lol

Hi girls 🙋‍♀️ I've been wanting to change my hairstyle to be more feminine. I talked to my hairdresser about growing it longer then styling it like Lisa Rinna's on Housewives of Beverly Hills. It's a bit androgynous and sassy.

Jessica · January 23, 2018, 02:31:18 PM

My wife and I share the same hairdresser and after taking my wife there (her ankle is broken) Tammy called me in after giving my wife a beautiful new look and trimmed the rough spots in the back and my eyebrows. She is excited about my new style and told me again how nice my hair is and that my balding spot is gone now. She doesn't know about my transition yet, so she doesn't know I'm on E.

Laurie · January 23, 2018, 07:34:28 PM

Hi Lil' Sis,

It sounds like Tammy probably has already guessed a few things about you. It may be time to let her in on your little secret if you think it's safe with her.
I know you are just trying to make me jealous about your hair, but I am all for your new do idea. Go for it.

Hugs,
Laurie

Little sisters thrive on making big sister jealous!

It's possible she has a clue. I have never acted with her in a typical male fashion. Very open and friendly on a very personal level. Smiling always and look her in the eye. Bringing her coffee or gifts. So maybe she has guessed. And I actually would feel safe telling her.
My daughter in law is a cosmetics consultant, and beauty product sales manager. I have considered asking her for advice. She is one I could tell even before my son.

Jessica I can highly recommend the experience of "having your hair done"...prior to transition having a haircut was a function and merely something I had to do. When I went as Liz for the first time I came away with a smile on my face that I have never had before because the whole experience was amazing and very enjoyable...I was just not expecting it to be as nice as it was and gained and instant understanding why all the women in my life enjoy it.

Having your hair styled in a feminine way makes a big difference when being seen as a woman. It changes your appearance so much when they get it right.

Hope you get to enjoy your long hair...

So I look down at my ticker and see it's been over 6 months on HT. Wow time flies!

Laurie · January 25, 2018, 09:24:44 AM

Thanks sis! Sounds like you're learning too!

I asked a couple of girlfriends and on a thread what my middle name reflected in my eyes. Laurie volunteered Marie immediately. I asked Daniella (Charlie Nicki) she tells me Marie. Ashley and Colleen both on the thread simultaneously answered Marie. It is very clear to me that I am seen as Jessica Marie!
My wife had veto power but totally agreed.

I love my name, thank you everyone for helping me. All the other suggestions were strong runner ups and were all beautiful..... even Iris, which caused a chuckle, but appreciated all the same.

Meet Jessica Marie! Woman, friend and Susan's Place Welcomer

Quick question and don't want to start a thread to get an answer. So, this afternoon I plan on getting blood tests done either before or after shrink appointment. Question is should I have refrained from taking the HRT at 7am this morning? Don't want to give a misleading blood workup.

I don't know for fact, but I understand that can skew the results. Dena may have the answer for that.
Good luck Cassi! This is a significant step!
