I donated a lot of my male clothing this weekend.
Still have a lot though.  Whatever was in the closet I thought that I would never wear again is gone.

Someone can get good use out of them, a not for profit can receive some funds by selling them,
plus that helps to keep the thrift store employees employed.  Maybe some are volunteers, and that allows them to give of their time.  They likely receive a lot of clothing and goods to sort through.

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.
Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Be brave, be strong.  Try a little kindness.  I am a brown eyed brunette.

Went to the social security office today to get my name changed to be able to get IDs and stuff in my name.


This was me waiting in line, amid the stares, long wait, and having to pee really bad (thanks spiro!):



Then, the nice lady handling my change gave me the official stamp on my receipt:



Also, I got ma'am'd at McDonalds at the drive-thru. Today was a good day.

My friend got me some new boots online as she had some credit with a company she didn't want to buy anything from. They look lovely and even better they fitted. I have no idea how. But they do! She also invited me to her hen do! :)

You are a hero!! I am not able to do that at the moment.  My psychologist wanted me to start with it, but I put my claws out and bared my teeth ready to fight her down the last drop of blood!
I always was a cloth (and shoe) shop-o-manic.  I have some shirts which I never ever have worn, the same applies to some shoes.  It would kill me to just give the stuff away!  I think I have to go on vacation and have my son doing this (he did it with my suits a few years ago).

Anyway, congrats, now you have lots of space to fill it up again with girly stuff!

You say "amid the stares" but I cannot believe people were staring at you, at least not in any sort of bad way. You are super cute. Any stares would have been people wondering where that beautiful woman came from...

And, CONGRATULATIONS on the SSA change!!

You got stares for being super cute! That's the only feasible reason.

Oh, I'm quite certain they were staring because of how tall I am and how not passing I am. But, I did enjoy that I wasn't nervous anymore. I was having anxiety about going in, but my mental motto is, "if I don't do this, the cis win." lol. or something to that effect.

This happened yesterday, I hope it's still ok to post it...

I visited my psychology professor during her office hours because this was my first semester attending as a woman and I wanted to ask her if she could tell I was trans.

I wasn't surprised when she told me she could tell and to her it was pretty obvious. Oh well, I'm still early in my transition, and that was the feeling I was getting around campus anyways. I asked her how she could tell and she said that my chin is pretty square. That makes total sense, and this was really good feedback to get! My friends and family always just tell me I look good, but I knew this professor would be candid; that's her style.

We chatted for about an hour about trans stuff, religion, her military background. It was really good! She used to be in private practice and she's really easy to open up to. I'm so glad I decided to visit her!  :D

If your avatar is actually you, there is no way you were being misgendered. You are beautiful and Hot. That's what they were looking at. Keep it going.

Awesome! I need something like that. A critical eye that tells it like it is. :)

That's actually me, but I'm really tall, so I imagine that's what they notice the most. lol

It's the wig that does it, but I'm happy that it works for me. Thanks, love.

Yeah, if you can get one, get a lace front. They're so nice and comfy and you can wear it while you wait for your hair to grow out. ;)

Tall isn't necessarily a deal breaker. I was shopping and an elderly woman asked me to get something from a top shelf. As I did I quipped, "being tall has to be good for something. I was never pretty enough to be a model." She just laughed.

Even at 5'10" I don't get clocked unless I dress too butch and even then it's a 50/50 shot.

April 22, 2015, the day of my first face to face pass in gender neutral clothes and no makeup. It may be months to the next one, but I'm good with that!

Being transgender is just a phase. It hardly ever starts before conception and always ends promptly at death.

They say the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train. I say, climb aboard!

I was today at the endocrinologist for the first time.  When he saw me, he said I don't even need to do any extra testing, you are as Klinefelter as they come.  The blood test and everything was in all ready, and yes, I am XXY, the girl is hiding inside the male!  He did not liek my sugar levels that much and I have a little kidney problems .  He feels it was my diabetes medication that did the thing to the kidneys.  I got new medication prescribed for that, and I found out that the stupid health insurance has it as a Tier 1 medication with a $58 copay for a 30 day supply!
But he prescribed estrogen!  I don't know what brand, but they are supposed patches and I am supposed to wear one each on each upper arm.  I have to wait for them because they are a controlled substance and they come through the mail.

This mean, in about a week I will be on the forced road to womanhood, and not that little dabbling what the XXY stuff was doing!  The girl inside of me plans to send the boy to the junk yard.  His job is done, now the girls power will take over!

Hi, Dietlind.  It must be a relief to have the doubt replaced by certainty.  Congratulations on starting HRT!
