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. Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person. Be brave, be strong. A TRUE friend is a treasure. Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be. Try a little kindness. Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources. Inconvenience yourself to help someone. I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

Running the gauntlet of getting my cars and trailers licenses changed. Not to much problem getting the vehicles changed and the inspection was a easy. Getting my drivers license is another matter. First trip- " You need birth certificate' along with all the other papers that I had verifying my address. Trip 2- birth certificate says male, have doctor verify that you are female and have him fill out this form. But old license says female, doesn't matter! Trip 3- sorry our computers are down statewide. On the way home GPS says take this road which turns to dirt then crosses through a river. Not wanting to ford the river in a Subaru outback the GPS then takes us up a dirt road that got smaller and smaller. Finally after several mud pits and having to divert to a stream bed I was forced to turn around. Dam GPS! Forester took a beating but got us out.

My mother warned me there would be days like this.
She didn't warn me that they come in bunches like bananas. 😁
Glad you made it home safe.

I never trust my sat nav as it has sent me some strange ways, when I leave home and have to head north it always tries to send me south to get on the motorway to head north when its 10miles shorter and quicker to go up the A road.

Wait, so West Virginia has paved roads? Next I bet you'll say they have indoor toilets too! Remember, if you're deep in the woods and hear banjo music, turn around immediately. Stay safe, Gina!
Love always -- Jessica Rose

I have my WV drivers license!! Was not without problems though, the proof of residency that I had used the last to trips now was insufficient. Luckily we had just grabbed the mail on the way out and had a stack addressed to me. They were polite, but I feel they were discriminating against me for being trans. License is good for 6 years so I don't have to deal with them for quite a while.
On another note: I can't seem to find my energy. I feel like just sitting around all day even though there is a ton of work to do. Hopefully this coming week things will be better. Or I will buy a case of red bull!

Hi Gina,
That is great news about getting your WV driver's license!
I'm not surprised about the lack of energy with the Hassles of Today!
It is tough going knowing that there is a target on your back.
It is far easier in CT where gender diversity has been accepted for decades.
I have it easier than most because I look good as a woman.
