Hahaha... This is a very broad statement on Susan's given that Sarah is the most common name for MTF here...

LOL, just increases my chances about being right

I think I actually passed today! I actually outed myself, but I passed until that point.
I think I'm having trouble because I just assume they know. Not that it bothers me, because I came to terms with that,but to actually pass and just blend in would be amazing.
I didn't really think this would ever happen ❤️❤️

I've done the same thing - A LOT.  I usually out myself on purpose; in some circles I want to "blaze the trail" for the next trans person to come along.

HOWEVER one very important place that I outed myself was the doctor's office when the nurse went down the "female" questions... are you still on your cycle? I laughed and said you know I'm transgender, right?  She laughed, crumpled up the page and started again.  We both bot a laugh out of that.  (It was very affirming though.)

Ha... my kids es doctor referred to me as Mommy during the 24 month checkup and I told me to tell daddy that he does a good job. I did NOT tell him, I just enjoyed the moment.

I did that trying donate plasma and things took a definite turn for the worst.
That was two months ago and I'm going back today, but this time I'm keeping my mouth shut.
Hoping I don't have a "what made you sad" post later

Okay, I better go buy lottery tickets.

I mail ordered 3 blouses.  All 3 fit!!!  And they were brands I never ordered before.  So I did a happy dance for that.

Then I did my makeup a bit different today, and *really* like how it turned out.  I don't look like I'm going on stage now.

And when I did my hair, it actually cooperated.  So I'm ready to take on the world now.

First day of Easter holidays, purchased lots of eggs and a new tablet for our eldest. Going to do an egg hunt with the tablet at the end.

And watching the My Little Pony movie and my daughter just trying to sing all the way through it.   Good times.

My future daughter told me that she doesn't see me as a transwoman, she only sees me as a woman.

I went out last night without makeup on, for the first time in months.  Only one person half misgendered me, and she said it was my shoes that made her question my gender.  She started with lady and then said man.  She was talking to her 2 year old son telling him to "let lady, er man go first"  I told her she was right the first time, then the shoes part came up and she apologized.  I told her it was fine, and we left laughing about little kids being impatient about getting soda's.

That's a bit odd as I recall a time when someone said "Your momma wears combat boots" but nowadays everyone does.

Makes sense when having to look down at a 2 year old!! It's great to hear correcting someone led to just having a good laugh! I'm taking notes to do both more often!

I don't normally go in for the days of this or that, but today... I resolved to do something, anything new. So I took a teeny, tiny step, but one that has been a huge road block for me, and I went downstairs and talked to my family wearing the women's jeans I bought. Jeans that male hipsters wear on a daily basis without a second thought, but... I was terrified. But I did it. Teeny, tiny steps...

Congratulations no matter how small of a step it is still a step forward proud of you

[islandgirl]

Congrats Roll! Each step you take, no matter how small you think they are, is a step further along your path! Each takes courage! Way to go!  Did anyone notice! Often we worry so much and find out no one even notices. At least this is what happened to me. I used to have a poster up in my office that said something like - What do mean worrying doesn't help! Everything I worried about never happened!

I went to our local grocery store/pharmacy to pick up my patches and decided to get four 12-packs of lemonade. I decided to bypass the grocery cart and carried two packs in each hand. When I got to the self-checkout all of the lanes were busy, so I got in line behind the only other person waiting -- a young man with a single item. The fellow looked at me and said "You can go ahead ma'am". I of course thanked him! I am still not used to this, but I am really starting to enjoy it.

Today my birth certificate arrived, which made this Transgender Day of Visibility particularly awesome (it is my first TDoV expressing myself as a woman, so it's awesome that now *all* of my legal identity documents have the right name and gender).

I did not expect it to be particularly emotional - I thought I went through that already with my state ID, passport, etc - and it's not like I show people my birth certificate awesome.  But every document I get, holding it in my hand, and seeing the right stuff on it...well, it's wonderful, and, yes, a bit more emotional (in good ways) than I expected.

Congratulations dear, you can't go further back. Great feeling to be completely legal isn't it?
TDOV will have a second meaning for you.
Hugs.
