Dear Santa

[Radar]

I'm going to drive myself nuts trying to figure out what the point of life is!

There is no point. There's your answer.

Dear Santa

I wish that everyone on this forum can have the acceptance that ive found over the last year and that all their wishes and dreams come true, especially for those who are struggling with family and work. For myself all i really wish for is the time to enjoy being able to be me, like another 60 years or so. And if you could find a way for my wife's back to be miraculously sorted out that would be great!

Thank you, and Merry Christmas to all x

Dear Santa,

I hope this year that I can receive some Christmas money so I can get a jump start on saving my money for T supplements to help with my natural transition. I hope that my parents will get through the holidays this year without trouble while they are sorting out their divorce. I wish that people would call me by the right pronouns, but I now realize that being "in the closet" about it is not going to solve my problems. If someone calls me by the wrong pronoun, I have to voice my opinion if it is hurting me. I hope that within the next year or two I can achieve the male body I want through hard work, eating right, and T supplements. If I don't see the body-image results I want, I'll at least know I'm doing my body good by treating it well and feeling physically and emotionally empowered. I hope my dad can accept that I'm growing up into the man I want to be.

Dear Santa

I'd like a job, top surgery and some friends.

I would also like this christmas to not be as depressing as the last one was.

Welcome to the club. Cookies are on the table.

Thanks! I love cookies! Are they mint chocolate. Or coconut perhaps? :3

Dear Anti-Santa,

Please help me get rid of some of this crap I've accumulated. I can't be bothered sorting it out.



Dear Santa,

Don't get me wrong - I love my job and the people in it - but I'd really like a day or two off. Maybe three.

I really need a few days off. I'm exhausted. I can't take annual leave. I need to save it all for 2 years, then take it all in one lump to recover from top surgery. I can't take extended medical leave instead, because that would involve telling them exactly why I'm taking leave!

So please - make the rostering people take pity on me. Soon.



Dear Satan,

I want -

• A case of imported beer
• Some roofies
• Several lengths of silk rope
• A blindfold
• A high definition video camera
• A few hours alone with "you-know-who"

I've been a very good man this year. I'd prefer not to be .

Dear Santa,

so it turns out i will not be getting any T before x-mas. maybe not til a few weeks into the new year? either way I'll be stoked to get it. however i do need:

to still be employed by then so i can afford to pay for the T, the gas money to get there etc etc
and sanity so they'll see me as fit to take the T responsibly (I've been waaaaaay too stressed by all of life itself)
and for everyone to be safe, fed and warm with someone they love by next saturday

Dear Santa,

I really want people to accept me and be supportive and just let me be myself...

I really dont want to be thrown out onto the street and loose my job for just being myself...

And some more money for SRS, FFS, moving to a different country and going to a college/univ for getting a better job would be nice....

And also that every one on Susan's would get their Christmas wish fulfilled as well ...  as long as the flying monkeys don't hurt anyone 

Merry Christmas in advance!!!

Dear Santa, you've seen my wishlist, yeah? That is the tangible stuff I'd like.
However, it's more important that I get the intangible stuff, like everyone calling me Eli (because it's easier than Elias, and the name Eli isn't gender-coded). Like not having to get in an argument with people. Like them being understanding and accepting of me.
I would really really like it if you could give me their understanding and acceptance and respect.

I've tried being a good boy, and I've done some very bad things. But since they mostly affected myself, I'm not sure if that counts as being bad.

I also hope for you to make sure that the holidays for everyone is better this year. Make sure that there are less fights, less conflicts, less anguish. Make it a happy season for all involved, straights and rainbow people and children and adults and animals alike.

[Aikotribs]

Dear Santa, first of all, thank you for the tie !

Second of all I just wish the same thing like every year, for my life to actually turn into something I can enjoy rather then run away from it. And that someday, anxiety, depression and GiD related things will be a thing of a past so I can actually perhaps go back to school, get a degree in something worthwhile perhaps even smart, and hold a job longer then 6 months without going insane.

oh, and that remote controlled helicopter ... yeaaaaaaah C:

[Marcelo Caetano]

Santa,
I just want my family to start to understand me and accept the changes I'm doing.
Just that!
It's easy, isn't it?

Love,
Marcelo!

Dear Santa,

I want my father to call me his son.

I want my mother to not act weird around me.

I want my sister to accept me.

I want to turn into a big hairy bear on T

I want my girlfriend to start HRT.

Dear Santa,

I know I'm too old to be writing to you but here it goes anyway. For Christmas I would like for people to use the correct pronouns, especially at work. That's all I want.

Some outside people came in today to do work in our office. They were introduced to me as male and everything was fine. Then some loud-mouthed bastard accidentally (or did s/he?) used the wrong pronouns. After that these outside people kept looking at me, calling me "she" and I heard them joking and laughing about me.

I understand that people overall just don't care about each other. They don't want to change and don't want to think. As long as something doesn't affect them directly they don't care how much it hurts, depresses and embarrasses me.

I know I can narrow down who the loud mouth might have been since there are certain people here who haven't been trying from the get-go. I've voiced my problems about this a billion times with these people plus my manager, but their constant response is "it's hard to remember". Fine, that's probably true. It still doesn't make my anger, depression and embarrassment any less.

Working here is depressing enough as-is... not even including my transition. Once I move on to another job I will give the reasons for my leaving and I will include the names of the people who have given me problems. Then it will affect their lives directly.

Until then I will try the best I can to get through each hour here until I will be able to search for a better job. I will look forward and hope for a better future.

Feel free to leave your letters for Santa here as well.

but mostly Santa give me the strength to know those who are ignorant are really not getting the last laugh because their own ignorance shows their lack of growth. I thank you Santa for making me strong and able to see past those who would acuse me or abuse me or say things most would see as negative but thanks to your love santa i am strong and able to walk tall and be that which i know to be true..

PS: Santa help many of my friends too who also want this strength and ability to be able to overlook the ignorant who need much growth ..

Thanks love your bestest friend in the whole world who DOES BELIEVE IN SANTA RADAR

Dear Santa,

I don't want much! I'm actually really happy with what I have, and I have to take baby steps! Can't have too much at once! For Christmas, all I want is to be able to see my ribs through my chest. I can already see them on the side, so how about the front? I would love to look at myself in the mirror and just smile at how perfect I look.

That's really it. I've been...well, I've been okay...But I promise I'll be good all year next year if you use your holiday magic to make my chest not be all lumpy! If not, I'll still be good next year, though! I won't even set fire to any preschools!

Yours Always,
-Flighty

P.S. Maybe, sideburns as my stocking present?
