Three things for me yesterday.

...

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

The spy who came in from the cold in the War Between the Sexes.

A follow up on this. My Facebook friends just picked up on it seemlessly, even my nieces and sister! No muss, no fuss! Without being pre-warned or even having me post anything about it. One old friend (I mean really old, I've known him 40 years or so) sent me a private message about it, but he was completely supportive.

greetings and good  vibes to everyone here

today, even during a gloomy, cold stormy weather i feel pretty in my getup and have this crazy high confidence that strutting in the mall felt so great. a comfy bra helped a mile too

Yesterday I went to my very first peer support get together. It was a very different experience. There where three trans men and 15 trans women there and the most notable part for me is the couple beside me and a couple across from me are both transmen that have a trans woman SO. It was very nice to be with others at different level and points in transitioning. It was also refreshing to hear how open everyone was about talking. Nothing but politics and religion are off limits and the moderator lady curtailed any talk like that right away.

That is fantastic, kaitylynn!

@kaitylynn :   That is wonderful news.  I would be more than stunned... my dad has said very few words to me since I announced my transtion over 4 years ago...  he has only said my name a few times since then and it is my old dead name.   My mom, on the phone, just recently said "goodby Danielle I love you" as we finished our conversation... that was a first from her... and i was stunned.
Thanks for posting your good report.
Hugs,
Danielle

A truly wonderful feeling!  My dad had been consistently dead-naming me for the past 3 years, even when everyone else has figured it out and gets it right.  This is a first and even if it is a small victory...it carries a lot of import.  I lost my mom a few years ago.  She was the first person I ever told my feelings to when I was about 10.  There was no such words to describe what I had said, but it had an effect that I feel is just as good...

She began allowing me to participate in the lessons she was teaching my sister.  This allowed me to learn about womanhood under her guidance and WOW, what a difference I feel it made!!!

It warms my heart Danielle, to hear that your mom acknowledged you in that way!  Validating beyond anything our therapists can bestow, at least in my hierarchy of transitional happenings

[kaitylynn]

That is fantastic, kaitylynn!

Thanx IslandGirl!  Most certainly a big smile moment!

Went to my regular Dr office for a routine appointment told her how I just started hormones but had to go with the patch cuz the shots are on backorder since Sept 2017 but she told me when the shot is available her office would gladly give it to me so I don't have to stick myself she also wants to be in more contact with my endo so she can keep checking for anything that might go wrong with the estrogen

That is awesome Arianna!  My GP was the first to know and set up my appts with my Endo.  It is good to have them both on the same page

I have had great results using only patches, so I would think you will have no issues until the injectibles are available again.

Mine was the exact same way my therapist couldn't do it so my GP referred me

the one thing that made me happy today was that while I was on the phone I kept getting called ma'am

I just got my latest lab results.  T is still too low to measure (< 0.087 nmol/l); E is in the target range (558 pmol/l) and slightly up from last time.  So I'm good hormonally for 12 months now.

What made me happy certainly wasn't the $500 to replace my a.c. compressor on my truck but the fact that I go to the place I always go he knows my name calls me she and her or by my name no matter who he's talking to about my car [emoji2]
