What made you happy today? For mtF members only, please. 4.0

[steph2.0]

How to say this with minimal details.
I'll try this:
A new co-worker, same department so more direct interaction. Anyways, I felt a distancing/uncomfortable feeling and I didn't want that with someone that I work with. So, since day one I had intended to tell her that it was OK to ask questions, I'm fine with answering educationally, not for the perversely curious. You know what I mean.

Anyways, today I finally got the chance and approached her. Her response? "I just thought you were an older woman and didn't want to insult you by saying anything. I did have a feeling because I'm pretty good at recognizing my own kind but I wasn't sure"

O.O

Wait a minute .. OLDER? .. ok, I am old. But for someone that's a lifer (one that has known since single digits and living it) to wonder but decide I'm an older woman .. I'll take it. I am .. amazed? shocked? .. in wonder?? I don't know what to say.

We had a good long talk about things, our different perspectives and approaches, with that underlying "I understand" beneath it all. She was a bit shocked that it's only been a year (almost) of self-awareness for me with only ~7 months HRT.

I think my world is coming together.

yep, Happy moment

It just gets better and better! Yays Faith!

Wait, what?  Am I reading that right that your co-worker is trans but gendered you as a cis woman (albeit "older")?  That is awesome, Faith!  SQUEEEEEEEE!!

Exactly that .. yes .. Big SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!!!!!!!!!!!

For myself, I had just a passing thought, a very passing fleeting thought about her but also immediately went, nah, just a big gal. Because she is a big gal, pretty too.

Been a long time since I have been in this site.  I am new in ways to transgender, especially when it comes to clothing.  and today, for the first time (after 8 months of HRT) I have dressed in what I consider full female regalia.  What really makes this special is I am wearing my first pair of nylon-like stockings, 3/4 length, with lacey frill around my thighs.  Such a little thing, stockings, but today it really made my day...  Don't overlook the little things!

I am finally starting to look a bit better proportioned.
It does seem like when I do lose some weight
it comes off mostly from everywhere, but when
I put on a little weight, it is going to the
right places.

Today at Goodwill, at the checkout, a lady started a conversation with me by saying ,"Have we met before at <some location> we had a lot of fun". I was like, not me, I'm only just now starting to have fun.

After a brief pause she struck more conversation. Responding that I'm a work in progress she said that she has several friends transitioning. I told her how long it's been (short time) and her response was, "It's working for you, you're very pretty" .... squeee .... (small squee, I don't want to get in trouble with Steph by exploding).

already a bouncy day that really set me off .. WOOOOO!

Thank you Stephanie. I was so worried that I might accidently let that slip out on occasion.

OMG! Have I really missed a whole page in this thread? Where the heck was I? Oh no , am I missing some time here? I didn't see any flying saucers? I don't feel violated? This thread has gone viral over the past day.

This is what made me happy today. Reading all of these happy post. It makes my day.

Hugs everyone!
Donica.

This was technically last week, but it was fairly affirming. Sunday I took my girlfriend out to dinner, and had a typical outfit on. Tank top, jeans, light make-up. So we got to the restaurant, and I was just about to open the door when a guy just behind us said, "let me get that."

I went shopping today in 'boy mode' (all fairly baggy male clothing except for women's jeans, no makeup, etc.) but I was addressed as 'ma'am' anyway.   That's 2 weeks in a row now that I've gotten no 'sir's and a few clear male fails!
