My son gets married next year. My future daughter in law is making plans for us to go pick out her wedding dress. Then we go for formal dresses for my partner and I. A dream come true.

@HappyMoni Well, that is certainly exciting good news to hear. Yes, certainly a dream come true.
Of course we will all want you to post pictures of your formal dress choice... with you wearing it of course.
Remember the rule here on the forums....
"Pictures or it didn't happen"
Looking forward to your updates...

grats to everyone who were happy with their days in this thread.

mine was finally trying a bra, 32 A cup size, under my tight fit shirt for the first time to protect my slowly growing breasts and it felt so liberating. it's really not that noticeable, the bra bulge lest i stuck my chest out. i know i've gotten the looks and whispers but it felt good.

even went shopping with my mom with the same get up (came from work, didn't bother changing, momentum was there)

even talked to my supervisor at work about it (female) and she's cool with it and impressed with my new lifestyle

Three things for me yesterday.

At lunch I sat with three ladies. When one of them misgendered me the other two corrected her.

I posted on Facebook that my birthday was coming up and what I wanted was for people to find a transgender person other than me and tell them that they love and support them,... and mean it!

I changed the spelling of my first name on Facebook from "Dion" to "Dione" as an early birthday present.

I have to say that I feel like I work in one of the best places. As this is pride month the management and staff all wore a ribbon with the transgender flag colours for me I just had a week of vacation days and came pack to that. It is very nice to feel appreciated and accepted made me want to cry.

While I've made a handful of jaunts out now walking dog and then walking through a hospital, I have yet to have face to face interaction with anyone and have hid behind wig a lot. Well, tonight I went out without hiding my face, speaking to people directly, and was just... me. For hours. Right off the bat at dinner I was ma'am'd, and no one misgendered me the entire evening. (Mostly no one said anything that required gendering me so except for that first one off the cuff it didn't really come up I suppose.)

Hi Ellie, 06 June 2018

If that is you in your avatar I don't know how anyone, under any circumstances, could misgender you; you are absolutely beautiful and look in your early 20's and 100% female.

Best Always, Love,
Christine

I shaved properly today after a few days of not being able to because emy skin was sore after the laser. My face hasn't been this smooth and soft in so long! It's amazing.

Hi Everyone, Wednesday 06 June 2018

It's only 0255 hrs CDT so not much happening; I guess being on the green side of the grass is something to be happy about.

Monday was a happy day; I had my endoscopy and colonoscopy Monday morning. Results: everything is fine; come back in five years. That was good news and I'll take it. Gad zooks, I'll be 83.

Best Always, Love,
Christine

<3 It is indeed me, but it is admittedly an extraordinarily good picture of me.

It sets ideas a bit higher than the reality for sure.

But apparently even the reality is pretty solid, at least from a gendering perspective, I am starting to accept. (The young thing is weird, I have always looked really young since I have never smoked, drunk, used drugs, been outside in the sun, etc., though it was hidden behind other stuff in the past. IE: balding was sort of a deciding factor in people judging my age. But with the wig on (or hat on not dressed female), and having a bit of a baby face now I have beard removal 80% done, everyone keeps thinking I'm in my early 20s and it's weirding me out.

Hi Ellie, 06 Jun 2018

I have a friend that moved away from Ohio not long after I did in 1979. I came to Southlake, Texas and he and his wife moved to Detroit and then a few years later to Atlanta. Eventually we were able to get together again when I was working in Atlanta. I hadn't seen them both in 20 years though I did see him while he was in the Dallas area on business. It was around 1995 when I saw them both. His wife looked exactly the same as she did when I last saw her in Ohio. The only thing different was that she had a little gray streaking in her hair. I asked her how she managed to stay so young looking. Her answer was quite simple: "Stay out of the sun" and eat healthy, no smoking, no drugs, no alcohol and get a good nights sleep. Be proud that you have never succumbed to those destructive behaviors; you are reaping the rewards of living right.

I would hazard a guess the baby face caused you some anxiety due to taunts by your peers during your high school days. Don't be"weirded"out because of looking younger, revel in it. You now have the last laugh.

Best Always, Love,
Christine

Today, I wore my wig the entire day. Not only that, but I went to three--you heard right, three--drive thrus today without makeup or shaving and my hair pulled back. It felt good to get out, even though I didn't get out of the car. One step at a time. Yesterday, I got to help some trans sisters with wig resources. Apparently, mine looks like my own hair. I felt so, so happy about that.

Bari Jo · June 07, 2018, 07:57:05 PM

We have some really cute tiny girls working in construction. So while I'm installing I'm getting dysphoric just being around them. I'm also noticing how much smaller their work boots are than mine. I'm going to solve this, I say in my mind. I immediately go to red wing shoes and boot barn after work. There I learned I'm a 7.5-8 -8 men or 9.5-10 women's. Also, the stores don't stock below size 8 in men's work boots. That was a weirdly affirming moment for me.

BTW, I started at 9-10 mens before hrt and losing weight.thats my happy for the day.

I looked at myself in the mirror this morning--no makeup, no wig, no shaving--and I swear I'm becoming more feminine in the face. I'm loving the changes.

The electrologist cut my session short today because she ran out of hairs to treat in the prepared area.

That's wonderful. I can't wait until I don't need to have anything removed. Congrats!
