Had a general supervision session with my direct supervisor today, just planning work for the next month etc. It was pretty brief and since she knows I'm transitioning I gave her an update. She really is wonderfully supportive and we ended up having quite a lengthy chat about progress and plans plus just totally girly stuff, stuff which I knew she never would have shared if she thought of me as a guy. It really made my day!

Yesterday... but I love it when I can talk to a woman at work and feel included. We talked about another woman, her pregnancy (and how she WAY overreacts to stuff), and other gossipy sort of things :). I've been through three pregnancies myself (well... my wife was the pregnant one :() so I know what's real and what's not... and the complainer complains about things that are not... a lot ;). She even talks about misogynistic stuff that happens (we're in a real men's club - yay... though administration is "trying" to change that).
It's not just me being feminine (though that seems to be helping?) - but I think girls like to talk more when they're not actively being marginalized!!

Whilst driving my kids to school today, my eldest started flicking between radio stations to try to find one that was playing music (British breakfast radio shows tend to be full of highly opinionated DJs who love the sound of their own voices, LOL). After trying all of the usual stations and failing to find any music at all, I suggested she try the Old Fart station I usually listen to on the way to work, saying: "They'll probably be playing some song from like 1985 or whatever, LOL".
So she turned over, and it actually was a song from 1985: A-Ha's Take On Me. To my surprise, my daughter turned it up to the max and the three of us sang along. I had no idea they knew the words!
We were singing the chorus as I pulled up to drop them off. We sat in the car whilst the chorus ended, screeching "In a day or twoooooooooo!" at the top of our voices. It was awesome. ;D

"Take On Me" was recently done as the melody line in a rap song - chart topper. I didn't remember the name, but found it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feel_This_Moment

So it was!
Y'know, that makes me feel like my mother. Back in the '80s when I was a teenager, she was always moaning about how nothing in the charts was ever original; how everyone was just doing cover versions of old songs from the '60s.
Of course, if you listen to the music of the '80s now, there was a lot of distinctive, original stuff going on in that decade. And even the cover versions were generally good reinterpretations of the originals. So in 20-30 years' time, my kids will moan about everyone ripping off today's artists, and how nothing is ever original blah blah blah. And so the wheel turns.
Kids these days don't even know they're born. Get off my lawn, you hooligans! ;D

I didn't like 90s and 2000s music... but this decade has been pretty good... IMHO.

Space marine from Warhammer 40.000. There a few shops on the cities... Saves you the problem we had before for locating specific miniatures or paints---

My brothers know a wee bit more about Warhammer than me. I used to love going into GW down Oxford Street when I was closer to London.

I'm over the moon! I shared the poem I wrote last week (posted under Hobbies->Writings->The Girl Who Flies if you're interested) with my therapist today... she loved it! And I'm working with a terribly handsome, amazing artist in Iceland on a collaboration to make it into a kid's book (haven't talked with him about telling people about it yet, so for now he'll remain nameless). Once that is done, my therapist wants to give it to a local therapist in charge of a group for suicide prevention in the LGBTQ community. She thinks it can do some good!
Feeling just so overwhelmingly blessed; accepting myself has freed me to create again, and my creations just might do some real good in the world! Soooooo happy right now! :)

I just woke up happy! :D
I had a dream last night where I was with my dog (who died two years ago) and I gave him a big hug and told him how much I love him. And I had this big homemade Snickers on a stick. I could taste it in my dream and it was delicious! And someone spent their life savings on a mansion knowing they wouldn't be able to afford to live their for long, but they did it anyway. And I wondered why they would do that. But they seemed so sure. Like just because I don't understand, it doesn't mean they don't know what they're doing. It made me feel like it's okay to take a big risk if you know in your heart it's what you have to do.
After I woke up I had a Jim Morrison quote stuck in my head. "The future is uncertain and the end is always near." But I was hearing it as meaning something else; surely the opposite of what he actually meant. I was taking it to mean that the future is not predetermined, so you can make yours whatever you choose. And your goals are never as far away as they may seem.
Yeah, I woke up happy. I feel good today. ;D

I spent the day with my mom, she just came back from a trip to Europe. She bought me some beautiful jewelry in Italy and Greece and also gave me this gorgeous ring that she got in Croatia even though it was for her. She took me out to a nice lunch too. :)
I also got a consultation scheduled with Dr. Meltzer for January, today (hoping to get SRS late summer/early fall next year).
Also found the funds to be able to visit a really good friend in Wisconsin next month. ;D

If this post seems disjoint... it's super late, I'm sleepy... and I wanted to put it all here first ♥ ♥ ♥
After feeling terrible all morning (dysphoria) and early afternoon... I talked to my therapist - which was mostly a big rant. We'll work on a endo letter next time - just so my ducks are lined up.
I went to the mall... I got some lotion and fragrance mist in my favorite scent (Japanese Cherry Blossom from B&BW)... I got some clothes at Old Navy AND tried them on in the changing room!!! I was awesome :D Everything fits and I clearly need to shave better (especially the back... awesome scoop t-shirt is not so awesome with all that showing).
I ate at Panera. Yum... though there was way too much dressing (I thought they always put it on the side... oh well)
And finally... I had a board game night with a bunch of friends I hadn't seen in years (and some new ones). It was awesome... they are mostly LGBT friendly. No I'm not out yet... but maybe much, much sooner with them than with others -- this is going to be monthly and I REALLY need some friends right now (sorry Susan's & Susan's chat room... I crave some IRLness). One of the guys is out bi- (heck... maybe, though very very very unlikely, he's trans - I just met him for the first time though we've been FB friends and I'm a wishful thinker ;)).
Just an awesome night.
Good night! ♥

Yesterday was somewhat a solemn day so I shaved......everything everywhere forthe first time. OMG why can't this be normal without going through a razor a couple days and shaving cream a week? I waxed my legs a few days ago with full hair growth and dear god it was excruciating compared to when I did it a few days after shaving. I'll wax again this weekend and much more since no more obnoxious long body hair.
But that's not all, I haven't worn a bra for a while now and this mornin I did and well......it's too smal! My sports bras fit but noticeably tighter. I'm confused as to how my chest is stil growing when I've been off of hormonal supplements for 6 months now but I'm not complaining. BTW at this point a bra is necessary or lest my...mini boobs....bounce in the work truck on bumpy roads and gets annoying.

Noticed that my legs are starting to trim down nicely as I get fit again on my bike.
Lot less bulky and a bit curvier. Also noticeably fitter now after a couple of weeks into my leave.
Have a magic ride planned for Friday through some very quiet and beautiful places for 120k with a friend.
Also working on my some long on hold things and getting things done ;D

Funny, I don't remember starting this thread ???
Had a great day working from home today, had some art/drawing to do as part of a special project and feel really happy with the final product.
Critical happiness mass was reached. Looks like the thread was split to prevent a happiness explosion.

Ha!
When I was competing and pretending to be male a few years ago, those were the days, I was written up as having a long sinuous body in an article by a girl who obviously thought I did not look half bad :D
Thus chances of having sexy legs to die for are going to be high. ;)

My favourite boss wandered into my office today to discuss a new software project... and then she casually remarked that I look completely male now and she can't see a single hint of female in my face. She said that she recently looked at my old (pre-coming out) photo and she didn't recognise me because I've changed so much. We've worked together for about 5 years now so she knew me for a long time by my previous identity.
She said she'd noticed how much calmer & more comfortable I am in my own skin, and the new addition of facial hair just reinforces for her how much I've changed as a person since coming out last year. Not only in looks, but also in body language, personality and self-confidence.
God, I love that woman. She's fantastic. And she really perked me up on a day when I could really do with perking up.

A few things:
Got into an endo appointment for tomorrow at 2. Not a dedicated endo, but one of the doctors on campus that deals with transgender issues and can prescribe hormones.
Spent most of the afternoon running around campus putting up TDoR posters.
Finally found what may be a suitable major for me.

I had 2 events and both were while in guy mode (had some facial hair growth due to today's electrolysis appointment.
- I was walking into the office building of one of my clients. (Custom database design for a freight broker.) The postal worker for the building (a very lovely woman) commented on my hair say that she loved it and most women would die to have my hair. I thanked her for the complement.
- The same client today came right out and asked if I was transitioning. I was very nervous because this client is really big and is the future of the software I'm developing and we plan to do a trade show together in April with them selling their services and us our software. Kind of a sudo partnership. However they already knew my wife and I were kinky and they are very open minded.
I Answered truthfully and they could tell that I was happier and knew something was up. They were very supportive and we talked about if for a while at the end of the day. She (the VP I work with most of the time on this project) said she just thought the other day that maybe I was. Nothing in particular caught her attention, it was more just a feeling she had and things combined (long hair, feminine mannerism) caught her attention. Anyway it was a great conversation we both felt good about. (She was also telling me about her previous lesbian experiences and that she thinks her husband might be gay.) Great to have clients like that.

Had a good talk with my parents. Gave back the t cream my mom gave me that would "fix" me. She tried to get me to use it but I flat out refused. I think she's beginning to see how serious I am about all of this. Left their house in a very good mood which is amazing since for the past month I've been leaving it feeling like a butcher knife had been stabbed in my back. Hopefully this showing of support is real and that some new crazy "fix me" scheme isn't right around the corner.

Wow, i am kind of surprised my voice didn't crack. I recorded two full takes of Stairway to Heaven vocals onto a 1977 soundboard recording including the high notes and to strengthen the "and as we wind on down the road" section, did several layers of vocals on that one. My voice is still a 100% there after that, even though it was quite fatiguing for my cords.

Got this http://amzn.com/B008H58NFE (Amazon link) in the Vintage Posey for $10 less than Amazon!
Also got the matching wallets for $8-9 less... (Shipping was $7, though).

My new dress, tights, purse, and I have Veet.
Just need shoes now. Unfortunately none of the thrift stores had anything over a 10, and Meijer's max was 11. I needed just slightly bigger! I found gorgeous ankle boots but they were just too small! Can't wait for the fat to leave my feet under estrogen.

I had such a nice day with my electrolysis lady. She is so nice & we removed more area & it looks great. To handle the sensitive areas such as the upper lip we are going to use liodcaine injestions direct. She is very experienced with this & it is the same strenght as any dentist would use. I feel so much better about finally having a clean nice face.

Legs are soft after an application of Veet. I'd give it a 9/10, meaning 9/10 hairs were picked up. A razor sufficed for the rest. But with the armpits, whoa, the hair just fell right out!

Went to see my mother in law in her nursing home (she is 92) I dropped off a present from my wife (lives in a different nursing home). I stayed and talked and brought her some comfort. I was happy to do so.
We talked about her past and her memories and her life. I made her some coffee. She said that XXX (my male past) would have walked in and dropped off the gift and left.
She was glad of the company.
I left after a few hours; my life had been enriched.
I realised that this journey is not just for us, it is for others also.
Thank you Peggy, may you dance in your dreams with Bernard tonight.
Love from your daughter in law

Last night Caleb and I went to a Transgender Day of Remembrance Memorial service in Indianapolis with Caleb. I broke down in tears during the service as I thought of Jannie and Caleb hugged me. Then we went and watched The Conjuring back in the hotel room. That was a creepy movie. Today we are going to go see the new Thor movie.

I went to a concert and before it started they had a piano set up for people of the audience to play on, I was really scared but did it anyway!

I was having my nails done, I have gels so every 4-6 weeks they need replacing. I really enjoy it.
A little old lady on a walking frame came in, left her equally old partner in the waiting area. He looked as excited as Hell was coming on the next bus.
She wanted her nails filed, her fingers were so fragile that the tech asked the manager for help. She then asked for pink nail polish. Standard in the place is to pay for polish before it is done, you cannot reach into your purse with wet polish! She emptied her purse and counted every coin, $12.
The manager went to the till and I just told her to put it on my bill.
She took back the $12 and the lady looked upset, why? Oh Cindy has paid for it (goddess everyone knows my name ::). She turned around and asked why?
I didn't want to embarrass her so I just said 'because I can'.
I left, her partner was weeping.
I felt sad in case I had insulted him.
But I kept walking.
I'm not anything special; but they have lived their lives to look after their families, and now have nothing.
They are special.

My mother is worried about me and reaching out to me. I tried to explain dysphoria to her. I think my example about watching Butch Cassidy worked best (yeah... 2 girls in the movie and all I could think about was how the whore had more options in her life than I ever did - let alone Etta, Sundance's girlfriend).
I just hope she's not going to try to "fix" my dysphoria. My (partial) fix is coming.... sooooon.... :D

I met my district and depot managers today for the first time. I didn't get to see them for long because I arrived late from some other training I had on, but they all seem like really sound guys, and some of the best managers in the country from what we've heard of the other ones. Some don't even take the time to find out we're arriving, let alone visit us.
As a bonus my taxi, and drinks were paid for. Especially useful as it's the week before payday and we're all living on nothing.

Finally saw an endocrinologist who prescribed me micronized progesterone. Also was able to get Finasteride to help with my hirsuitism. Great day :)

Had a great therapy session today, one big step left to do and I'll have my letter for HRT. Then I got in contact with a woman who use to work where I work and we talked for almost an hour and now I've added yet another person to my support group circle :D Such an awesome day and it's only day 1 of 3 straight days where I get to go out into the world in the evening as my real self.
Best of all it seems like my parents are finally coming around to my side. We watched a National Geographic program called Taboo that was about transgender people from all around the world and when it was mentioned that suicide rates are very high among trans people my mom said this was her biggest fear. To which I responded well it's true that it's a high rate for people like me but when they have people that support them that rate goes way way down to the level only a few percent just like the general population has. Support and acceptance where the person can always turn to and get the reaffirmation that they need when things go wrong gives them hope to continue on. I think saying that right there had a huge impact because it was true. I really do need my parents to be my foundation that is always there supporting me as the winds and storms try to blow me down.
What a great day and way to go to bed in such a great mood. Tomorrow it's my first laser appointment!

If you don't have hormones by my birthday I'll be really >:( >:( !!!! (July ;))
Patience... I have sooo little and the T makes it worse - I'm just thankful I have a count down I can hold on to. I've been talking hormones to the family - which always makes them and me nervous - but it seems to help them understand. They say I've changed... I say I've doubled my testosterone and feel like I did in high school again (which is right before I gained the weight). Those who knew me then (i.e. my parents) probably remember my short temper ;). I think I've been doing VERY well at not living to that standard.
Willow, I hope yours come before mine! Did you get that campus job you were looking at (I think that was you)?

Had another Electro session today. Face still swollen a bit but worth it.
More required though.
Changes going on with my chest which I love.
Down below there has also been some nice differences as well that have made me happy.
Oh and it has stopped raining for today at least.

I don't think that medical professionals, even those trained in transgender issues, are fully capable of understanding that just because we've been out and seeing them for 2-3 months doesn't mean that we've only been stuggling since then; I've been struggling and suffering over the last half of my short life. With only this week, thanksgiving week, the week after, and fimals week, I really hope I can get the letter by next week, starting on hormones the week after, which then puts the 1 week blood test during finals week, but the only way to change that is to get the letter this week, which I doubt I will.
Unfortunately not. It's a little too late this semestre; I'll try again for spring to find something off campus. Maybe I could be an ultra nerd at gamestop :D
Sorry for bringing so much negativity into what is supposed to be a happy that, so I'll add this: after shaving my arms and hands (Veet didn't work so well on them compared to the legs and armpits. Maybe I was just too anxious and started scraping too early) my hands du so much faster in the weak air dryers in the bathroom in this floor. And mysweet pea moisturizer smells soooooooo good and feels so nice

You'll get there!! I'm noticing (from these forums) that some therapists are better at NOT gatekeeping than others. It may help, too, that I'm not planning on getting E for a number of months yet (May/June...). Mine seemed to understand that it was something I struggled with for over 20 years (longer than you've been alive... LOL ;)). Anyone who has struggled and come to a fairly complete realization on their own, once the therapist has determined that much at least, clearly deserves and needs the hormone therapy!
Good luck with the end of the semester! There are worse places to work than GameStop (unless you hate Battletoads 2).
I haven't used depilitory creme yet... I should really try it, but I'm scared (I have sensitive skin - if you've seen my freak-out after the first laser session). I LOVE lotion now... it's weird - I always hated putting it on my wife, but now I use it daily on my forearms and lower legs (especially going into the dry season). I think I didn't like it because of the hair. I use Bath & Body's Sakura and it smells lovely all day. It's not (I hope) so strong that everyone can smell it (I can't until I get close), but the scent actually lasts all day!

Today is going to be so awesome; there's a drag masquerade, and I'm going to be beautiful.

I terms of timing, now is ideal, so that I come back to school in the fall with 8-9 months of HRT, possibly some FFS at the 6-7 month mark, and ready to go full time. I'm just annoyed at all the reasons for gatekeeping (are you sure this is what you want? What will your family think? Can you handle the changes? etc.) aren't all relevent, or are just BS. Of course I'm ready, I went into therapy because I had made my mind up that this is what I wanted. My family shoulsn't have input on it, it's my life, let me have a choice for once. And I can handle the changes. In fact, I can't wait for them. I may be able to finally pass a math test due to being able to concentrate.
Lol wat?
I was kinda joking, I worked retail for nearly 3 months over the summer and hated my life. But that's all you can really get without a degree. Still working on it.
I went cheap; the big bottle of Suave for $2 at Meijer is whati can afford. And it works great.

It's 11 am here in UK, and I'm still in bed, probably feeling a touch un happy that I've not got up yet, but when I do, that alone will make me feel very happy, I know that because I always do in my TG life of the last two and a half years.
Anyway I've not been a complete lazy bitch, my laptops on my knees and I've just posted a bit on my ups and downs regarding permanent make-up. My clothes hang around my bedroom all screaming "please wear me today" a far cry from my married days when they all had to hide inside cases and such. So, so far today, It's a sort of regular happy day.

I told my therapist about my (by my own admission, i am aware of it) rather distorted self-perception and self-image. To calm myself down i grabbed his guitar and played for a bit. He complimented me on my finger-strumming technique and that i am actually able to get a half-decent sound of of that crummy cheap guitar in his therapy room. He told me that indeed my self-perception seems to be distorted at times and that he wishes he could help me with my problems, because of my many personal problems.

Laser appointment went great. I'm use to tolerating a lot of pain from the sports injuries I've sustained over the years. Overall it wasn't bad at all. He never had to stop once he started and I don't even have any redness and I can rub my hand over my beard and NOT feel that darn sandpaper effect for once. I can't wait to see how my beard looks in about 1-2 weeks when these hairs start falling out. So excited right now I almost don't want to go to bed. I even got a big confidence boost from him saying how much different in a very good way I was this week compared to last when I showed up in male mode for my consultation.

Got my self a magic smile on my face today, so I would say I was very happy, on account of them updating my drivers licence picture for a more feminine one, Well that was yesterday. The icing on the cake which triggered the smile, came today with the postman, when they sent back my £20 fee for doing it. Someone up there loves us Transgenders.

I need the hugs more. I just got out of bed because I was so depressed that I can't be that all the time.
Tons of hugs from me, Willow! ♥
You're beautiful inside and in time you'll make your day to day appearance match that beautiful woman in the red dress from last night!!

Called the endocrinologist today and got the financial info taken care of. Being financially stable to not start & stop hormones is a requirement of my therapist and I guess a check to see how serious you are if you call them for that info. Prices won't be bad at all which has me elated right now. I'm just a step away from getting my letter for HRT.

3+ months on the diet and my A1c dropped from 6.9 to 5.9 ;D
Doc wants me on the sugar meds a little longer, but he suggested my endo may take it over along with that other small medical issue I've got ;) Apparently metformin also has anti-androgen properties (though I suspect they're not nearly enough to make up the T-addition that losing so much weight caused).
Nothing but glee for me, though! My endo is in a month.
...and google tells all. Metformin is not an anti-androgen and has no anti-androgen properties... it can help women with PCOS lower testosterone and become fertile because of the "impared carbohydrate metabolism" that comes with the disease. So nada for me :P

I picked up mom from work and she took me to the Sonic that just opened up in the next town. She said she wanted to take me because she was sad because of how I'd been feeling as of late between the depression and dad being a complete jerk. We sat and had a good time. It felt really good. Next week she said to pick out a movie and we'll go and see it. We are gonna see the second movie from the Lord of the Rings series. The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug =] YAY!!!

Which brings me to what I think will work for a degree for me, finally; dual major in studio art and computer science.

Still have one more week off work and in a sick way am looking forward to getting back into it after time off.

Just cuts courses off from university, so like I was supposed to go for 3 years instead of the normal 4 years in the US for a bachelor's.

LA isn't bad... it's difficult, but relatively easy if you aren't forced to do it all manually. Applying LA to 3D graphic design, on the other hand..... I tried to learn that on my own for my thesis and decided to scrap the 3D implementation (I did a graphical simulator... but 2D was as good as I could do graphics-wise... and I even suck at that).

I've only visited LA. If it weren't for the smog, I might enjoy living there.
I've only been to San Diego in CA... it's beautiful, but I don't know I'd like the traffic!! (Honolulu traffic would be acceptable -- it's terrible, but you're in Hawai'i ;)).

I have a feeling that I have the room to my own tonight... well, one of them will probably appear at some point in the early hours of the morning, but she's the least irritating out of them all and I'll hopefully be asleep by then. And someone came round to visit me for no reason except to see me, which surprises me every time.

I've lived in both LA and San Diego, Both are rather trafficy but SD has the better air quality imo
LA tends to be a shower twice a day kinda place where you take a bite rather than a breath of fresh air

I used to do vendor audits in SD, those were always fun. 15 minutes of auditing then spent the rest of the day on the beach at the Hotel del Coronado, drinking beer. Sometimes we'd stay an extra day, 15 minutes just wasn't enough to get everything done, so we'd do another 15 minutes of work the next day.
Wow! Nice job! That's what everyone thinks happens when I travel to Hawaii (which is very, very uncommon). Usually it's more like free breakfast, work from 9-9, get dinner, sleep, repeat. I did have one trip - we had to work to business hours in Hawaii AND business hours on the East coast. What a wonderful (and crazy lucky) trip doing 7-12 every day!!!
I fear I won't be doing much travel anymore, with my transition pending.

Went to my parents house after work today. Mom showed me the basics of make-up. Sure I looked terrible as my beard stubble is unshaveable due to doing my first laser session earlier in the week. Mom said I actually did much better than my sister ever did when she was first being taught. Dad got a good laugh and agreed.
Had a good time and tomorrow were going grocery/makeup & clothes shopping. It should be fun but I do have to do it in male mode. Still its huge progress with my parents considering that just over a month ago they were trying to cure me of being transgender.

Finally cried. It wasn't like bawling everywhere, but the tears flowed and I couldn't subconsciously stop them from falling. It felt great and even though I thought it wouldn't happen to music, it was music that did it.

It's wonderful... and it starts to happen more and more - if you're anything like me. I'm not on HRT and my emotions have really opened up... I bawled for some glee episodes, teared up for MLP... and it can't go in the happy thread, but I cried on my own for 15-20 minutes this morning (longest ever).

I had my first public bathroom encounter! It was with my daughter...
She (4) said she didn't want to go in the boys room, and tried to force me into the girls' room. Once we were in the boy's room... she told me she's a little girl... I said little girls can go into either bathroom... then she said she's a little girl and I'm a big girl. :-*
I explained to her that I can't use the big girl's room yet... but that I didn't want to be in the boy's room any more than she did. She's so sweet.
Wonder what the guy in the next stall over was thinking... just kidding ;) it was empty... though the first bathroom we tried had the only stall in use -- he may have heard me say "I don't want to be in here any more than you do" for that one ;) LOL

Many things made me happy today.
1) Got my micronized progesterone cream today. I hope it goes right to mah bewbs.
2) A woman my wife and I have known for years called and she thought I was her. I still have issues over the phone, so this was great.
3) My wife is coming home earlier than usual due to the upcoming holidays.
4) I'm in a really good mood for no apparent reason.
5) My Xmas decorations that I just put up.
6) Ysatis
7) Shopped for the week and the people at the grocery store were super nice.
8) I get to make my famous tacos tomorrow even though I'm getting electrolysis in the morning.
9) Realizing that all the BS and idiots I had to deal with today would have wrecked my day prior to HRT. Now it all just rolls right off me.
10) Got an email from my mom saying how happy she was that I'm coming for Thanksgiving.

9) Realizing that all the BS and idiots I had to deal with today would have wrecked my day prior to HRT. Now it all just rolls right off me.
10) Got an email from my mom saying how happy she was that I'm coming for Thanksgiving.
Cool Jill!
I"m getting into that holiday mood for a change, granddaughter slept over and we put up the fake Chicago slim tree early and the girls trimmed it, I got my 70 year old a$$ up on the roof an put up the lights, we're just not going to light things up until after thanksgiving as that would be crass. Wishing you well for the holidays!

This is a selfish happy but here goes. I had a doc appt with my surgeon. She tells me that I am healing much better than anticipated and that in a year I should be able to be put back together. The worries she had seem to be resolving themselves. I am also able to work pretty much full time and with less restrictions. I may get to save my home yet.

The really good part is he has some female acquaintances who are professional beauticians, he's going to talk to them about giving me a full makeover just for the fun of it!

Today I was hanging out with my best friend, a boy who is 2 years newer than me and that is my neighbor. He was always really shy, a bit nerd and a bit effeminate (like if he was my clone). I am considering to tell him first about my future transition, but I don't know how he will react as he is very catholic.
But today he was telling me of a story he wrote, where he was born a girl instead of a boy. I was so happy of listening to his story! I think he may understand me after all (he might even be a future MTF for what I know).
After today I am really considering him to be the first to know.
This made me happy! I think at least one of my friends may understand me!

That would have been a good time to tell! :) It sounds like he may be open to understanding you... and very well may be genderqueer to some level. If he's very catholic, and his family is... he may have a hard time opening up about his own feelings and you could end up helping.
It's always so scary coming out to people. I'm contemplating coming out to a few groups... all will be the first non-family people I tell.

Yes, I considering telling today...but I was afraid that he could tell his mother and that she would definately tell my mother that knows nothing. Perhaps he may think I am destroying my life wiith what I am doing and would decide to "help me" trying to take me out from this path...so I considered too risky to tell now.
But when the time comes I will start with a "do you remember that story you told me?" *smiles*

Quote from: >-bleeped-< friendQuote from: meWhen I end up moving, I'd like to get a small bunny for the apartment - if possible. My daughters would LOVE it, too!!! It could really be a good bonding thing for us post-separation. I get sad thinking about losing them... even if it's just a partial loss. It will be even more difficult for them!
Try not to think of it as losing them, even partially, they aren't to be lost to you and won by someone else, they're independent people, you will be able to spend less time directly in the same physical domicile as them but your connection to them will still be there, and with work you can keep it fresh and alive - find ways to help keep up with the little things, as those can help bring people together, little victories and frustrations from their lives and also yours, the street is two way.

The hardest part is having the willpower not to fall back into old eating habits, at least for me. I started the year as obese and am now not even overweight, though I'm still trying for another 18 lbs. ;)

I understand that. Right now I'm trying to get the willpower to not overeat... that usually means I only overeat a little (which is OK for maintenance... but I want to lose 20 more... I'm at 45 lost now).
Believe it or not, I think HRT will help me... I'm slipping now because I feel sapped from dysphoria.

That'll be the hardest for me. Eating for me, while it can be a pleasure, is also an inconvenience. It's easier to just grab a bunch of crap food and shove it down my throat so I am full and don't have to worry about getting hungry not too long later.
You look good though. Not even because of the weight loss, you just look very happy and confident in your avatar. It's nice. :)

He gathered all the notes.
He will be sending my endo the letter, and e-mailing me a copy too (in case she doesn't get it... since I'm not a patient yet).
Soooooo exciting... and another step toward feeling normal.

ME: "My workload has exploded today. I asked K---- if there any known quantum states in which I might be multiplied. He didn't know, but I could realllly use 2 more of me right now."
HIM: "Four more of you would be better."
ME: "No, because then I'd get jealous of myself."
HIM: "That's beautiful."
ME: "Welcome to my neurosis."
:p

Very nice kabit, a big step forward, congrats. In looking back I realize it was kind of odd, so desperately wanting a letter that described just how screwed up I am. ::)
I'm very curious to read it for myself. He was impressed with all of my history (most he knew, but going through it in order with the questions he needed to answer and clarifying everything made it seem more impressive). Sure I was screwed up... especially in high school... but I'm in a really pretty good state.
He also confirmed that I'm not clinically depressed (as my wife and parents think) and that yeah, I'm sad about my losses (and potential losses) but that the rest is just dysphoria.
So really a great session... and all we really did was talk to the required (? or just model?) questions.

Talked to my mom today and asked if they are ready for ME to come over to their house. She said yes which is freaking awesome as I've been waiting for them to say they were ready. Me and mom are going to work on cooking thanksgiving dinner and after we get the turkey started we are going to do another makeup tutorial session again! :D somebody pinch me haha!
I'm terrified, scared & excited all at the same time as this will be the real test to see if they will be ok with me being me around them and hopefully they will see what I have always known for a long long time.
The only sucky thing is that I will have to revert back to male mode around noon since my sister and her family is coming over with the kids and we haven't told the kids yet so eh but I can't complain it should be a great day.

He also confirmed that I'm not clinically depressed (as my wife and parents think) and that yeah, I'm sad about my losses (and potential losses) but that the rest is just dysphoria.
So really a great session... and all we really did was talk to the required (? or just model?) questions.
That's really good to hear, Ryo Ohki. I'm going to call you that from now on. It sounds better than Kabit. :D
Yeah, a lot of people try to pass off gender dysphoria as just "being depressed" but they get it all backwards. The gender dysphoria is what causes the frickin depression. It isn't the other way around.
So, how long will it be, ya think, until the therapist writes you a letter for HRT?

It's really just my food habits that are part cat ;) I'm not giving up meat! (I know a Kat who's mostly rabbit that way, too ;))
He took all the rest of the info he needed yesterday and he knows my appointment is on the 26th, so he will have it done before then! I assume I'll have it in 2 weeks or so. :D It really is a big, big step and he's worked with my endo before... so I think everything should go smoothly (fingers crossed for 28 more days).
I just wish I could start right away with the full HRT regimen. I will be getting spiro for sure (she normally gives AA) and will request very low dose estrodil until my family (that is divorce) is mostly settled... or June at the latest. I was thinking I want to give myself until next winter to go FT at work. A part of me wants to be (and kind of is... in a way) out at work now.

Today was a good day. I spend a nice Thanksgiving meal with most of my family. I spent most of the time with my Aunt & my only woman cousin in the kitchen. They complimented me on losing weight & looking better. I was as feminine as possible with them & told them I was making some changes to my life for the better. I did not come out & tell them I was taking HRT & planning a change of gender outright but there was no doubt I was one of the women with them. Thet are happy for me whatever I choose to do as they said. My nipples have been hard all day & no doubt they were noticed I think. I sure noticed them.
I think soon I will sit down with these 2 family women & just tell them of my plans. They may already suspect however maybe it's time for me to be open with them. That will be a relieve once I open up to these women since they are my only living women relatives.

Yesterday I went to my parents house as ME to help my mom make thanksgiving dinner. For the first time they got to see me and they handled it very well which did surprise me. What was best of all for me was that I wasn't nervous, had no anxiety, wasn't scared, I was happy and proud to show them who I really am. After we got the turkey in the oven me and mom worked on makeup for a while and by the time we were done she couldn't believe how much different I looked compared to the last time we did some makeup while I was in male mode. She actually said that I could pass just fine for a woman when she saw me in the full ensemble compared to what her big fear from the week earlier when she could only see me as a guy that could never pass as a woman. I have to say this was one of the best days ever for me as I think my parents can finally see what I was talking about how different but the same when I am being me. I got to spend the rest of the morning as me but then I had to revert back to male mode and it actually made me feel really bad but I didn't want to come out to the rest of my family in that way. Still I can't believe how far I've gone in the past two months as I never in my wildest dreams thought that this would happen, I'd end up getting closer to my parents, be able to talk about myself to them, and spend time finally getting to do mother & daughter things with my mom. :laugh:

It was last night, but I got home too late to post this. I was at the home of some friends who are religious "Dual Citizens," that is to say they are Christian-Pagans. The one is a third-degree Wiccan priestess and a seminarian who'll be ordained in the Progressive Christian Alliance come March.
Well, it seems I'm about to be initiated into their coven and she might be helping me as I seek to discern my potential call to enroll in seminary myself.

Went to the stables only to discover that there were lots of people there who had been putting a harness on my horse. So we went for a drive through the Christmas decorated streets in this super small town.. with jingle bells on horsie, trotting around in the newly fallen snow.. so good!!

Having a lazy Saturday in- hence my sudden outburst of posts :P
Still in my pajamas, watching South Park, cuddling with the pup-pup, listening to music in the background. Life is simple, and good.

It's so much fun... I have learned to only brush it with the boar's hair brush when it's dry... it gets the paddle after showering. I'm trying to baby my hair right now -- and that doesn't always work out so well ;)

Getting it cut is an issue. Mom would always make me get it cut, saying that I "looked like a girl" (even though it never got that long) and never realised that was the point. Hence why I wanted to tell my parents before I got home.

The visit of my sons is going well. I kept the girls hidden all day yesterday, but I decided to introduce them this morning. I cooked breakfast in a light t-shirt with no sports bra underneath. I knew when they had noticed because they were standing there and suddenly burst out in a huge laugh. ;D ;D ;D I know them too well...
Great mental image, Julie :)

I literally (on FB) just came out to a friend because he had the trans symbol in a picture.
Freaking out a little ;) though I know he's trans friendly.

Coming out facebook chat went well... ... apparently I caught him during a special dinner out and he'll talk to me later. He's trans friendly and pretty open. He might help me with the rest of our game group... especially since I haven't been in the group for a while (there are new people)

I guess I'll just stick to looking fabulous in my "Legalize Trans*" hand me down shirt. It does look rather fab on me though.

Just found one of my favorite high school teachers on FaceBook--20 years & she hasn't aged a day. She accepted my friend request & when I sent her a message earlier she sent a long, lovely reply. She's only a few years older than me & by the end of senior year I was utterly head-over-heels smitten with her...I think I might've let on during the last week of school (idiot kid!), but she was & is as gracious as ever. *sigh* :)

Ok... yeah... I'm drunk. That might affect how I'm thinking.
So... I'm a girl. I know that. Who would ever want to be a guy (sorry FTM brothers... I love you guys ♥)? But then... that's where I'm at. I'm a prepubescent girl. I think I like guys... but I really just like my girl friends. I have this sign up that says "no boyz allowed" (the "z" is backward). Suddenly I'm going to start going through puberty. Things are going to change.......
Let's just call that a moment of clarity, shall we?
Oh... and happy #2? A totally awesome... that is... a totally, totally awesome conversation with my met-once friend that I entirely randomly came out to yesterday. I saw his kid with the transgender symbol and used that as a cue to come OOTC. I want to be OOTC to our entire group (some ancient board game we play together) and I'm just amazingly happy that he and I were able to meet under such quite random circumstances as that picture. ♥ ♥! There was no possible person in this world who could've been better to come out to. Not only is he bi, but he already has a number of trans* friends (not sure if they're close or not - probably not especially).
If I have one skill in this world, it's crazy luck!!!!!
(If being "cocked" didn't make me feel so much like a girl... LOL ;))

Back at work after 4 weeks off.
I did a lot of prep work before leaving and it has all paid off as things went well
Not too many emails to deal with as well less than a thousand.
Clients also very happy that I'm back.
2 months on E and all is good in life.
So much happier than before. ;D
It's Summer!

I got rid of my landline phone after having that number for 40 years, I refuse to go through another political season here in the USA with that accursed thing ringing off the hook with unwanted solicitations. This woman is taking control of her life! >:-)

Found a place in Chicago that does informed consent. There's one closer, north of Detroit, but I have no idea how to get there via public transit.

Reading through a lot of the MtF HRT page on the wiki, Progestogen sounds like it would help with a lot of my bodily problems, "increase in body temperature enabling one to better tolerate the cold" I'm inside wearing two coats right now "healthier nails" mine break all too often "produce a sense of calm" that will be sooooo good, to be calm "and promote sleep" just yes to that "bronchi are widened (helps respiration)" big plus, maybe enough to help my coughing.
Overall, that just makes me a hundred times more ready and sure I'm doing what i want and need by choosing to transition, seems even my body knows its wrong.

If one marriage partner insists on having their own way to the extent that they bully and completely crush the other partner into a compliant corner on any kind of issue without having made any concessions whatsoever, then the peace just isn't going to last for long.

I still have that tiniest of hopes my wife will come around. . . I have no idea what will happen when it comes to divorce.

Give and take is necessary... but there's also need and want. I need to transition, Amy needs to transition... there are some things you cannot capitulate on. Divorce was the compromise... and (while I hate to simplify it so much) Amy's wife's bluff was called.
I think you still have a rough road ahead, but I'm happy for you Amy!! As long as you love your wife and she loves you, I think it's a good decision! Just always remember to take her needs into account before your wants and you cannot do wrong (IMO). If your needs clash, it might not work out... but you did right by her.
Now if only I could get my wife to understand that...

To somewhat answer your question. Neither of us felt forced back into the relationship and both of our needs are being met. ;)

These came (it was a black Friday deal - warmer and nicer than the PJs I have now):
http://amzn.com/B00EM4Q1K8
They're really nice. The pants are awesome. The shirt is a bit tight (as reviews from other items in this brand mention), but not too tight. I can see that, if I had some extra chest size for some reason, it'd be too tight.
My Zulily order also came today!! http://amzn.com/B008H58NFE First purse & wallet... I guess I can bring it to therapy tomorrow :D!!
We seem to be doing well... but I can't see her choosing to stay with me. I have a hard time seeing her keeping the current living arrangement during my transition. She has social anxiety issues.

I went to a support group today and was asked how long I've been on HRT and been out at work. The look on their faces was priceless as I'm still pre everything and there's no way i'll be out at work for at least 4 more months or until I male fail. They said I pass pretty well which I'll take it as being 5'11" and pre HRT I feel like I don't pass at all compared to all of the cis women who are around 5'7" ish. But still it made me happy to get a compliment like that. I was also very proud of my makeup, I think I did a pretty darn good job for as short of a time that I have been doing it.

I feel really happy and excited for some reason. I like it. Maybe it's because I now have a Loki costume. It's not perfect, but it's still great. Maybe it's because I am attracted to someone for the first time in about four years or more. Maybe I'll see him tomorrow. Maybe it's because metal is awesome. Maybe it's because I love being me.

It wasn't today, but...
My grandma, for the first time since I've come out (which was about a year ago I believe), has sent me a card using correct pronouns and my preferred name.
Mind you, this is the woman who looked at me when I came out and said "That's fine. I love you anyways. But you'll always be my granddaughter, and that's that."
So this is extremely special to me.
That's all.

Joules,
Gwynne says that she's much too "refined" to receive her coal as bitumen.
My take on it is that she's Canadian and unconventional as well as rare and expensive, so it's a good fit (we can ignore the crude and dense part of bitumen, right?).
Gwynne points out that it's better than being cheap and stinky!
Ah, oil sands humour abounds!

My doc told me that the 25 mg pills work out to less total than using the 100 mg pills. e.g., 4 25s cost less than 1 100. Don't axe me why...
Keaira switched to the $4 25mg pills too, but she said that so far they don't seem to work as well as her 100mg pill did.

I had a conversation with a girl friend at work... basically talking about what it means to grow old (she's about 10 years younger than me and has a SO - they don't go out of the house as much as they used to)...
Toward the end of the conversation someone in the hall asked what the heck we were talking about... and my friend said "oh, just how we're old maids."
;D Yeah... I'll take that affirmation!! :laugh:

Love it! I used to be a big tea drinker, but ever since I got my new espresso machine I haven't had the urge much. I have a friend from China who always brings us back the good stuff. After the holidays I will make a point of having more tea along with a more healthy lifestyle. The impending holiday season has made my diet and exercise habits temporarily fall by the wayside. Oh well, at least I have a distinctly female butt now!
Anyway, what made me happy today was that when I was out running errands I stopped at a convenience store for milk in my old neighborhood. I used to go there almost every day and all of the clerks knew me well. One day, many years ago I threw a drunk racist d-bag right out the front door for threatening one of them and he was always grateful and extra friendly to me. I walked up to him today, smiled, and wow- he obviously had no idea it was me. The magic is working!

I know what you mean, I'm always on the look out for tall women, most of them aren't quite as tall as me (6'3") but they're out there. When they're young they are usually pretty skinny but as they get older they can pack on the pounds in the usual places...I'm skinny but not young cis female skinny but close enough that I feel I won't stand out too much.

my new bag (for school) and my new wallet. My old ones were broken and i got them as St.Nicholas Day presents.
The new bag is way less heavier than the old one and feels way more comfortable (i have to carry around a lot of stuff, it's a miracle i haven't injured myself yet). the wallet is a little more safe and both the wallet and the bag are not only higher quality, but they also have more room.

It really was like... I don't know, a revelation? I'm not as lucky as you, I have a big body, mostly muscular - I was a hardcore basketball player and I also love hitting the gym - but in the last few years I packed up on fat as well due to dysphoria, depression and not enough free time for enough workout. So, seeing this beautiful girl... It was like in a dream, I felt like walking a few inches above the ground afterwards. :)

Are you on HRT? That will probably help you lose muscle mass and tone down. I was always skinny, never muscular even when doing regular exercise. I have what Arnold Schwarzenegger would call "girlie man arms" ;D

Are you on HRT? That will probably help you lose muscle mass and tone down. I was always skinny, never muscular even when doing regular exercise. I have what Arnold Schwarzenegger would call "girlie man arms" ;D
Sadly I'm still presenting male 7/24 because of family and financial reasons. Not for long tho... ::)

I had just got done robbing a convience store in GTA V: Online and climbed to the rooftoops to hide from the cops. Well after they called off the search, I hear a motorcycle pull up and knew it had to be a live player nearby. I was looking at the laptop at the time, but I can tell when there is a live player or a NPC driving just by experience. Anyways there are two guys on this motorcycle and they just park in place trying to find me and kill me. Well the driver decides to throw a grenade in the direction he thought I was at but I ducked behind cover while on the rooftops and shot at them from the back with my grenade launch. One hit and I blew up their motorcycle, killing both of them in the process. I could hear one of the guys grunting over the mic so I turned on my mic, started laughing and said "serves you right, D-Bag!"
When it comes to GTA V: Online, you don't mess with Malachite.

Forgot to add something about the interview; in a discussion off camera with the interview crew, one said: "I don't understand why we have to call transgendered people 'transgender woman' or whatever, to me, they're just a woman, because it's what's in the brain that counts" and it assured to me that people can really learn and understand what I go through even when they don't actually undergo transition themselves.

I played an actually quite nice 20 MINUTES LONG solo. Actually i've been playing guitar all day and after a few hours (no spiritualism intended, i am an atheist) i feel like me and the guitar are one entity, not a man and his guitar. That's how it used to be and should be. Whether my playing is good......sometimes it's ok and sometimes it's not. I'm not that good, but i just love the thrill i get from it.

Well, that's a first step, at least. Hopefully, they will be using the right name/pronouns in time. Sometimes, people do it honestly out of pure habit.

I went out to Kohl's!
Wearing girl jeans (so who can tell anyway), oversized sweater (I think it looks androgynous), Tom's, and my Kavu purse (below) w/ matching wallet. I was also wearing a cami and a girly tee ~ but nobody could see those ;)
I might have gotten a few looks - especially by anyone who looked at my face in all its blue, patchy glory... but no comments and the check-out lady (assistant manager, I think her badge said) was TOTALLY awesome and talked to me a bit. If my mouth weren't so DRY I might have mustered a better voice. Still... it was good practice and fun! Where are my RI girls to go with me next time?
I bought panties & socks (my stock is low! Travelling soon and it'd be nice to not be forced to do laundry)... also a winter coat. 2x fit my shoulders... how do I take it in around the waist??? It looks so much better if I cinch the back!

Interesting day at work, as there was discussion about Tropfest, a short film festival here in Sydney in the park next to my place, I could hear it from my balcony.
The winning film Bamboozled dealt with gender change as it's theme. One of the girls at work was explaining it to me and I found it not hard to smile a bit as I have a big secret. :D
Oh and the Cricket, again.

I had a small mirror in my shower that I used for shaving my face. Although I could only see my face in it, it really added to my dysphoria in the morning because I'd be washing my body and then see my face and just.... So I finally decided to rip the damn thing out! I had a feeling that looking in mirrors too much probably made me feel worse, because I'd overanalyze whenever I caught a glimpse of "female." And three days in, I feel much better for it. If I have to shave, I'll do it at the sink like most people lol.

This encounter. A male student comes up to me after the final exam:
Guy: So you're not marking this, right?
Me: Right.
Guy: So everything is finalized on your end? All submitted?
Me: Not everyone's, but I have finished yours. You should have your grades by the new year.
Guy: Right...so...um...*silence* can I ask you a question?
Me: *thinking to myself* great, here we go again, going to get the transgender question.
Guy: *blabbering* I had a really great time in your class, and I think you're really great...and...I was wondering if you'd want to go out with me some time. You should know though, I have never asked out another guy before...and um, I'm kind of scared because no one knows I'm gay, but I am ready to come out and have a boyfriend!
Me: *stares blankly* Uh...wow, I'm sorry, I'm already dating someone. Thank you though!
Lmao. But seriously he is a VERY handsome man, better looking than I could ever hope to be myself. Even if I was gay, he could do way better. I'm very flattered anyway.

Guy: *blabbering* I had a really great time in your class, and I think you're really great...and...I was wondering if you'd want to go out with me some time. You should know though, I have never asked out another guy before...and um, I'm kind of scared because no one knows I'm gay, but I am ready to come out and have a boyfriend!
Me: *stares blankly* Uh...wow, I'm sorry, I'm already dating someone. Thank you though!
Lmao. But seriously he is a VERY handsome man, better looking than I could ever hope to be myself. Even if I was gay, he could do way better. I'm very flattered anyway.
Whoa....how cool is that huh?

I got a new (actually it is used but it is new to me) audio compressor and I started another noise project: Anthropomorphic Lesbianism. It's going to be a lot of fun. ;D

I was clearly gendered correctly on my way out of the book store today. A slightly older man only got a quick glance at me, but he was VERY thankful when he took the door from me as he was coming in and I was leaving.
(It's nice having that sort of acknowledgement despite that everyone instantly regenders me once they see my face ;))

LOL Nope. But they did have a little "experiment" which set a certain porcupine in motion to question a few things. Which led to the coupling of her and a certain Squirrel chick that had just moved to town. It also began something else that has ran through the rest of the series. But you can't talk about that. ;) :D
LOL Wait...I just thought of this: Did you think of that because of the avatar and the caption?
Well, I could understand that if you did but there is no plush of the squirrel character because she is one of my own creation. It would be awesome if there was a plush of her, though. Maybe I could look into someone that makes plushies or something.

Ms Conchita Wurst. I just came across her today myself, she seems really awesome and she's an awesome singer as well. She'll present Austria at Eurovision '14.
I'm actually listening to this since I found it.

When mom told me about that in the phone, I cried. I effing cried. I, who had his emotional life killed by T, cried.
That band has a special meaning to me, as lame as it sounds, and seeing them live has been a shared dream of me and my mom for 10 years.

Well, in my understanding from what I've seen in the interview, I'd think she's androgynous. She herself explains it as being in between male and female, somewhere halfway. These are not facts though. I've read the wiki as well, it explains her as a drag queen. Well, dunno. I'm sticking with andro.

Actually, I just found this:
"Two hearts beating in my chest
They are a team just working in sync. Although they have never met before- they are constantly missing each other in the mirror. The private person Tom Neuwirth and the art figure Conchita Wurst respect each other from the bottom of their hearts. They are two individual characters with their own individual stories, but with one essential message for tolerance and against discrimination."

Today I met my female voice for the first time and it was love at first sight! A few YouTube tutorials helped me a lot and when my voice came out I felt I could do it without too much effort. It was awesome to listen to my own voice! It was not bad at all and I could actually sound female without resembling mickey mouse! Now I need a lot of training as it is quite hard ro maintain the voice. It ends getting lower until it sounds like male again.

A friend of mine (who happens to be a southern baptist and strongly anti-LGB but I never heard anything about T from him) saw my pictures on facebook and was confused, not sure how he felt about it, but willing to learn.

I am almost finished with my latest fanfic and it only took 2 days to write it. It has been a long time since I wrote one this quickly and this easily.

1. Listening to Alice's Restaurant (thank you whatever thread that came from! Haven't heard that in at least 18 months). Kind of fitting to me right now..... sorta
2.
Me too!!! AWESOME :D We're "ma'am" sisters :-*
I was ma'am'ed by a dude who hit me with a windowless door - he didn't see me well on the way in.
3. I must look good for all the people staring at me ;)
4. Most important of all... telling someone and being accepted for it.

Well, the surgery situation is looking up a bit. My parents asked more about it and my mom was like "omg what if you have a bad reaction to anesthesia and someone needs to make a life or death decision? It's all the way in Florida! How will you get groceries?" So one of them will be going down with me whenever I can book it. Meaning my dad can use points that he has to cover the airfare. So now, my concern is only $7000 as opposed to $10,000.
I have to admit too, this is a very big step for them. I have to wonder if it will be emotional to know that their "daughter" is going in there to get "her" boobies cut off, or if they've already made their peace with the fact that "she" is gone.
Truth be told, despite their shortcomings, I can see that they truly do love me. For a while I wondered, for many reasons that were not transition-related. But they wouldn't do that if they didn't. And my dad said he kind of liked having me around the house. Better than when I was 18 where he asked "why is she even still here?"

Lol. I think that a lot of their anxieties before were just due to the fact that they didn't feel myself or my brother were on the right track (even though I did extremely well in school, I think they worried about my introversion). Basically that we didn't fit the shape they thought their children would be...but, we've turned out just fine and also nothing is going to change.

Perhaps you are looking at it wrong. It isn't a right of passage, it is an important skill used in many types of employment. Any skill which increases your choice of employment boosts your chance of employment. Many employers want people who have a license whether or not they drive to work and back, so think of it as employment training.

Watched a video about a lion, a tiger, and a bear that grew up together and are friends in an animal sanctuary. They were confiscated from a drug dealer is why the odd mix, and it was decided that keeping them together was right. The footage was entertaining and heartwarming. I was always taught not to anthropomorphize animals, but I don't think we do it enough. We're all on a spectrum.

Quote from: Malachite on December 14, 2013, 06:16:09 PMI don't like driving either. People sometimes think I don't do it because I'm poor, but even when I've got enough money I never consider buying a car. It's too stressful and expensive for me. I prefer my feet and my bike and the buses and trains and streetcars. Even when I lived in bumfuzzle deep south towns, keeping up with insurance and gasoline is a bigger burden than walking.

I wrote him back and said I came out to my boss while on travel with him... that everything went great and my boss wants to learn more. I also asked about the status of my letter (11 days 'til my endo).
He said he was already in the process of writing it this morning (he had previously completed the outline with all my info).
I just got the letter!

It gets better!!! I heard Lemmy is sitting in at the end of the set and I just got hooked up with a VIP table.
I so hope Dave plays shirtless again. Crap, I'm like totally straighter than I thought. Does anyone else think he's smoking hot?

The days here are nice and warm after work and the daylight hours are long which makes it nice to go for a run in the park near my place. The park is huge so great for running in.
Today after a few weeks off running, OMG they are bouncing! :o
Think I will need a sports bra soon. :-\

Quote from: LordKAT on December 17, 2013, 01:19:06 AMI used to prefer the evening shift where I work, but as I got older and then actually started working mornings, I got to where I like it better. Plus the way things are at the store, I get my 40 hours in 4 days instead of five. I have to get up at 3:15 to get ready to be at work at 4:30, but I've adapted to it and just go to bed by 8 or so the night before.
And to think I hate summer work due to the threat of day shifts.

Quote from: EstroGwynne on December 16, 2013, 07:21:23 AMYes. When I told my therapist that she said it was probably me being in a extremely good mood as it's too early to feel the effects of AA & E. I think we were both right haha because I'm noticing that one of the things that would happen all the time for no reason only happens once a day now and that has nothing to do with the mental aspect but the hormonal aspect of things.
Isn't it amazing how quickly things change emotionally? I'm absolutely blown away :)

I found a $10 bill in my closet while cleaning stuff out! ;D I also realized that I could give away my smaller clothes. I figured, I'd lose weight and they'd fit again...but...my shoulders have gotten so much broader and more muscular that even if my belly was gone, they wouldn't fit. ;D That makes me feel good about myself.

The last two times I have seen you I have noticed your shoulders! Before you started testosterone you filled out large shirts but that is because of your hips near the bottom of the shirt. They were loose in the shoulders. Now you fill out a large shirt in the shoulders and your hips or stomach barely fill the fabric at all! You should feel very good about yourself! It is very manly looking.

Bought some jewellery today, nothing expensive, mostly decorative and colourful... not much of a jewellery wearer in guy mode and I'm still needing to sort out my style. Was in guy mode when I bought them and got complimented on matching the colours of the ear rings with the beads on the necklace (they probably rarely see guys buying stuff at this very girly shop let alone stuff that is colour matched!).

You did not smell them until now? I smelled those new $100 when they were released. But then I do love the smell of money.

Had a funny gendering incident today. I was washing my hands in the public bathroom in my store when a male customer walked in, abruptly stopped when he saw me and asked worriedly, "Is this the women's or the men's washroom???" The look on his face was priceless! I was in boy-mode with a uniform vest on that is mostly worn by the male staff and he saw me in profile which I thought would have revealed my male nose and brow quite clearly. Maybe I don't have as much to worry about as I thought. One thing that felt really great about it was the kind of power shift in my favor that I felt as I fully had the upper hand there for a moment and he was clearly mortified at first. I could have said something smart-ass to him such as "It's Opposite Day", but because he seemed sincerely concerned that he might have been at fault I let him off the hook. You can bet from now on he'll always look twice before entering a public washroom!
I guess this was a "Win"?

Took my shower and took my first dose of hormones today! The doc seemed to stress the loss in sex drive when explaining the side effects but to me that isn't really such a bad thing.

Thank you Caleb. :D
You look radiant trekkie girl! :)

That's how my doctor and health center prefers to do it. I think you'll appreciate getting used to AA's first before leaping into E. The AA's seem to have been more important so far in affecting how I feel daily. The E is kind of a polish on that and prompting the physical changes.

Interesting. My endo has me on a relative high starting dose of E but no AA. I proposed starting with an AA, but was rebuffed. :-\

I got started on a low dose of E and what is considered a half dose of spiro for the first few days and increased to a full dose after. Anyways enjoy your visit!

I have to admit... I really wonder about the difference between low dose and normal dose -- in terms of rapidity of change
If I can have the change slow enough to not be out this summer (if I like) ... normal dose would be fine with me.
I will talk to my endo.

I don't know....I never really understood the reasoning behind starting someone on only AA's. I started full bore on a lower E dose, low AA dose and that godawful Finasteride. (Could have done without THAT evil F'in stuff.)

My doctor only wanted blood testing before AA's and a few weeks after any AA dose increase. They seem to be much more concerned about its potential health effects, particularly where blood pressure is concerned, and prefer to isolate those before moving on to the E. They also prefer not to increase both simultaneously for the same reason. They also implied that in their experience the E is somewhat wasted if the testosterone level hasn't been reduced first. Over-compensating with higher E doses can be dangerous due to blood-clot risk and can cause greater mood instability.
Any of this could be a different story if the delivery method of the doses is changed. My Spiro and Estrace are both oral. Obviously take your own doctor's advice unless you end up feeling sick or crazy.

Yeah, my endo required an initial batch of bloodwork prior to my starting HRT. I still remember what day it was when I had that test done. It was on 9/6/07. My E dose and F dose stayed the same from the start for a long time. Spiro started out at a low dose and was increased over a period of several months (maybe close to a year...I don't remember for sure.) I went off the Finasteride on August 5th, 2009 once I realized that it was a huge problem for me, causing suicidal thoughts and extreme depression. If I had stayed on that stuff I would be long dead by now. By the end of July of 09, I was sleeping 18 hours a day and I had stopped eating. I just wanted to die. But once I got off that stuff, things began to improve.
After I had my orchi on April, 13th, 2010, my dose stayed the same. Then it was in the Spring of the following year that I made the stupid mistake of asking the docs to increase my E dose and they went ahead and did it with no bloodwork at all. Needless to say they were idiots. No competent doc would do that (my current one sure as hell wouldn't have done it and she couldn't believe it once I told her about it.) Once my dosage was increased, everything went crazy. I was constantly hot, having what I thought were heart palpitations, panic attacks, etc. It was pretty screwy. It turned out that I ended up with some other weird stuff that they couldn't quite trace that just happened to hit me at the same time as when I increased the E. Now I am back on my normal dose of E and that is all good. I was also put put on a couple of meds for the other stuff and things got straightened out on that end.
Lesson learned: Go to a competent endo and not some dumb quacks at some internal medicine clinic.

I've been seeing some commercials from a law firm on television, they are looking for young people who have taken Risperdone and have developed gynocomastia and now have breasts as a resultant side effect. The thought of suing the pharmaceutical company for giving people boobs probably seems a little funny to some of us. Seems like more of a head start program to me. :D ;D

I got to chat with Honeybear tonight. He's such a sweetheart and I miss him so much. Iwish I could snuggle with him though.
I also had a couple of wtf moments tonight too. My Sister-in-law told me that my niece was asking questions about me, such as my bra size, do I wear make up? And am I all girl now?
she wont ask me because she is scared of offending me. Her mother also noted in my 2012/ 2013 picture that my boobs looked better and my face looked fuller. At that moment it was like she had never had a problem with my transition at all. I had actually planned on leaving while the family christmas party but she asked me to please stay. And she seemed genuinely sad that I felt the need to not be at the party.

6 months on HRT!
woohoo! :D
As this is my second time being on HRT for six months, I have to say things are going a lot more smoothly and positively this time around. There are a lot of factors contributing to that, but one of them has definitely been Susan's - finding so many other people who are dealing with similar issues, and also getting so much support and acceptance, has been simply marvellous. Thanks! :)

Eew no, my chin, nose, and forehead need work.

I have my MP3 player that my mom bought me as a pre-Christmas present almost filled up. The total space available is 3,775 MB and I have the free space down to 530 MB by now. I have a little bit of everything on it from the Tenchi Universe soundtrack (lots of techno pop and soundtrack style music), to Elton John to My Dying Bride to Faith No More. Lots of other stuff too but if I listed ALL of it, this would be a huge post. :D

I was playing GTA V: Online and someome had put a multi-million dollar bounty on someone and it got claimed and I was thinking to myself "man, I wish I was able to get all of that money-let ME hunt someone down for that amount. I'd be willing to die several times to claim that bounty", then immediately after, some one gave me $341000000. I was so happy that I got on the mic and thanked the person who gave me that much money and started singing the ICP Jingle Bells theme while raising my Sprite. Afterwards, I made sure to save the game. Thank you hacker! Now I can afford a tank AND a high end car if I wanted. On top of that, I already had over a million dollars. This has made me so happy and has cheered me up. I actually had to break out my Payday Hoxton British voice while saying "Money" (or Mon-ay as he pronouces it) out loud.
Malachite is happy happy happy happy boy right now. Now if someone could just give him that amount of money in real life. :D Nevertheless I shall now go enjoy the fruits of my labor now....hehe.
MON-AY!

Well...it took me SO long to crack under the consumerist pressure, lol, but I bought an iPhone. I felt like I was from the Stone Age while talking to the dudes at Rogers, because I've never had a really fancy phone before. Even my Samsung phone had no data plan, unreliable service provider, pay as you go, and the apps were basically useless (it called out and texted, that was it).
I wanted something with GPS, with a good data plan, with apps I could use for a number of things. I'm happy with it so far.

I still consider myself a phone-less holdout. Work provides me with a Blackberry, but use it for nothing but e-mail and the odd actual call.
On a side note, I completely fail to understand the appeal of touchscreen interfaces: they offer zero haptic feedback and smear constantly. :-\

I have a cell phone that my mom got me earlier this year. I did browse the net when I was on the bus but now that I have the MP3 player, that won't be happening anymore. Besides, music is a much cooler time-killer rather than looking at crap on a 2" screen any day of the week.

i don' need a smartphone either, but i like listening to music on my phone (with headphones of course), so that is a must actually, especially since i need something to calm me down in case everything gets too much (to prevent meltdowns). I would appreciate one though, but i don't NEED one. My old phone will do just fine and supports MP3 and WMA (WMA preferred of course).

Two dresses I ordered last week showed up today :) I'd been wanting these dresses for quite awhile and they finally went on special, not only that, but I had in my possession some offer codes so I got an extra $25 off the already discounted prices plus free 2nd day shipping plus a bracelet 8)
Unfortunately, because I am quite the Amazon I'll have to make an extension clasp for the bracelet

Just got back from spending the day with my family at the cemetery. Luckily my father isn't buried in the same place as my mother and brother. In fact, I'm pretty sure he's in some unhallowed ground somewhere, covered by three feet of concrete and peed upon daily by incontinent Chihuahuas. At least I hope so.
Anyway, that's besides the point. Spending time at their gravesides made me feel... better. More at peace with myself, as perverse as that probably sounds. I had a good long talk with... well... I don't know. Myself... them... both... who knows. Cleared up some of my emotions. Got some things off my chest, into the ether, as it were.
I guess I should get a sandwich or something. I haven't eaten yet.

The evening went well, people were much more chatty than normal, all was well with the world at Auntie Shan's house. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to my other extended family here at Susan's Place!

I got $100 and some scented candles from my Mom. I got $20 from my aunt so it's all good. ;D My mom also bought me this wacky thing that can be used as a cradle for charging a cell phone/MP3 Player, etc. It's blue and as my dad put it "It looks like a weird, blue zombie Gumby." :D Which is pretty much what it looks like. I will try to find an image of it.

and today, I worked, but I volunteered for that, and a regular customer brought me food two different times, lol. She stuck to my no veggie rule too. Plus a few people insisted I keep their change for working on Christmas, so I ended up with about 8 dollars from that.

Wasn't online yesterday for much so I didn't post this then but I got a lot more for christmas than I expected as things are tight this year but they were all genuine surprises besides one which was a new battery for my laptop(thanks mum) as I had already been told about it. The first surprise was a Doctor Who DVD game. But the biggest surprise of all was from my mum....she got me makeup XD Eyeshadow and face powder and she had written it to the initials for my new name as she couldn't recall how I spell it. So double improvement from my mum. She said it was only cheap stuff as it was a last minute purchase but that it was at least something I get start on and practice with. Overall was a very enjoyable day no real problems at all
So Happy!!

My dad is setting up my new laptop and he had to make an account for me. When I looked at it later I saw he'd put Nathan as the accountname :) Thank you Dad! Small things like that make me happy because I can feel he's really trying and I really appreciate it.
That is really cool.

I updated my ticker.
I got Spiro.
I (will get) premarin / estradiol (Walmart was out of whichever in whatever size was Rx'd).
I start them both tomorrow after I submit my blood work (and whenever I pick up the premarin)

The first change I'll be making....
I think she used premarin because I'm starting with some low dosage (trans* low dose, not menopausal low dose)

2700 hair grafts on my forehead to get rid of the mpb and create a femme hairline. Edema/fluid retention starts on day 2 or 3 and swells the brow and eyes area. I can't see really well without some effort. Fortunately, it is only supposed to last a few days. Should see the results of the grafts in 6 months, which I am also happy for :)

I also vaguely remember being really young and enjoying when my mom watched Star Trek, so I may be a trekkie in the making. Who knows.

Star Trek, the final frontier.
These are the voyages of the young man, Caleb.
His ongoing mission - to explore strange, new shows.
To seek out new characters, and new plotlines.
To boldly go where Caleb has never gone before.
Sorry, couldn't resist. :P

Starships or Lightsabers, it doesn't matter. I design both and believe that the two franchises cannot be compared equally. it's like comparing apples to oranges. Both are sci-fi but are different. There are things to like about both of them and things to dislike.

Well I sucked it up and when I went to fill in a script I grabbed some make up, only cheap basic stuff but it adds to the small collection I had from last year and what mum got me for christmas, well it is a start. I was nervous as heck but I got through it.
Here is what I bought.

Eyebrow/Lash groomer, foundation brush, concealer stick and a small basic kit with eyeshadow, creme to powder, blush/bronzer, mascara and brushes.
This was a big step for me. Glad it is over lol.
Here is what I bought.

Well I sucked it up and when I went to fill in a script I grabbed some make up, only cheap basic stuff but it adds to the small collection I had from last year and what mum got me for christmas, well it is a start. I was nervous as heck but I got through it.

That eyebrow brush with small scissors and tweezers :D. Eyebrows are so easy to clean up and you can make them as masculine or feminine as you like.

Jesus christ actually today was a blast
I havent felt like this before , I was able to walk on streets as myself and pretty much nobody didnt bat an eye ( I think I got like 3 or 4 wierd looks but f*** this, I walked by maybe even thousands of people and who knows maybe these looks werent even clocking,,,who knows really...)
So first we bought with my mom one of those electric blankets and the guy at the store said welcome girls (and guess what ,I didnt heard him ,my mom told me after we left the store , she also told me that she almost turned around wandering to which girls the guy is reffering to , cause this was the first time I was myself with her :P)
So after that I really wanted to hear somebody reffering to me as a girl, and I got it a bit later when a dude who sells lottery tickets on the street said to us happy new year girls,I could help it but laugh loudly :D
Anyway we then bought shoes , some earings and a nail polisher, at the stores I didnt get any "girl ,lady , dear" or anything but everyone was really really kind to me,now I understand the reason behind how awful I used to feel when I would buy guys shoes/clothes,,,what an idiot I used to be :-\ . It felt so good just being there in a store full of girls in which nobody would mind me :)
I also got to speak with my girl voice for the first time in public...my mom told me that it didnt felt natural to her rather kinda pretending , but she also told me that she wouldnt think that my voice is a voice of guy trying to imitate a girl , so thats more than enough for me :)
Buuuuut dont think I didnt screwed up...cause I did ,,, we were on the metro returning home and I kinda triped so I said in a guys voice "the hell im doin"....hahahahah I think a lady who was infront of me and had noticed that I was sitting behind her took this wierd look on her face ...hahahahaha what a fail , I got embarrased :laugh:\
I guess Ill know better next time ::)

Funnily enough, yesterday marked one year on injections for me. I've been debating whether or not I should just count that as my one year on T since I got a questionably small amount of changes on gel. I never got substantial changes until I began injections.

Hmmmm, if you were initially excited to start the gel then I say why not mark that day as your official "T" day and then have a seperate anniversery for the injections?

Yeah, cause I started gel on April 19, 2012 and injections on December 27, 2012. They could be 2 separate dates. Gel was special because I did it even though I expected to be homeless (thankfully wasn't, but only by a hair).

She then said 'I don't like calling you Cindy when we are alone together, can I call you Cinders? It means I have my special name for you.'
Damn hay fever and hormones got to me and I needed the tissues :embarrassed:

Went for a hour run this afternoon and feeling better with each run. Good way to getting fit and loosing weight.
Am looking to build up to 2 hours or 25km.
Found some hills to push harder on.
Very pleasant in the soft light prior to sunset.
Good one Cindy! :)

I envy your weather. I find it damn-near impossible to get out and push myself when it's -25. :-\

I say celebrate both then! Two T anniverseries sounds aweomse to me. :)
I was in the living room just not and my sister was playing with my 2 year old niece and telling her how she was a girl and my niece goes "no, I'm a boy." My first thought....uhoh lol. Then my sister starts going down the list of saying the genders of family memebers and when it got to me, my sister says "and {insert birth name} is a girl" and my nephew was saying that too (he likes to flip flop what gender I am apparently), but my 2 year old niece responds "No, {insert birth name} is a boy. She got everyone's gender right in repeating it. All I could do was smile, even though my sister was trying to correct her. This has made me happy today.

My sister came over today and the first thing she said when she walked in the door was "is that a 'tash? There's hair on your chin too, you must be well pleased with that!" and she seemed genuinely happy for me :D not only is my facial hair noticeable but my sister seems to be losing her reservations about the whole thing. Double win.
Malachite: My daughter does a similar thing :D she sometimes says "I'm a boy!" and I'm like "oh yeah?" and she usually laughs and goes "no not really, I'm a girl; and you're a boy" - what's interesting is she uses boy and girl interchangeably when talking about my partner, and he is pretty gender fluid - they just seem to sense this stuff.

Congrats on the 'stash!
I taught my kids. My oldest knows what's going on, for the most part (he's 8). My daughters now both say I'm a girl. One switched so much that she's actively trying to help (in a 4 year old way)... she wants me to get rid of the "pricklys" on my face ;) and she complains when I'm not talking like a girl.

I've been introducing my son to long lost art of text adventure gaming. We've been playing around with the utility on http://textadventures.co.uk/quest/ as a very gentle way of introducing him to programming and game design. He's having a blast, especially developing amusing responses and consequences for peculiar verb/object combinations (eat the peasant, kick the pig, kiss the old hag, etc.).

My laugh can get into a bit of shrill :P

muffins... or cupcakes?

Ah. I don't know about newer brands.
Other than my plush Bacon, all of my dolls are almost as old as I am. Not quite...but close.

Finally fixing some major formatting errors in Microsoft word. Whew! a 127 page paper almost done! Feel happy about finally making it to the point where it's only stupid things that need to be fixed. :)

If only the pillow (http://amzn.com/B004Y4GWRS) came too, it'd be a perfect night!
Thursday night will be great... finally might get rid of that ergonomic sleeping problem in my wrist (I bend it at about 90 degrees crossing my arms while sleeping).

I'm also super happy that no one around me is super sad. I know this time of year can be volatile, but it's all been pretty benign in my small worlds.

Me, my wife and our female friend were in a picture posted on Facebook and I was dressed in androgynous mode. There several comments on FB stating how all 3 girls looked lovely. Made my day this morning (prior to hearing about my mother, see my post here (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,155288.msg1324201.html#msg1324201) about that ).

Out of nowhere, I had the urge to watch the sleeping beauty ballet this morning with my coffee. Not only am I loving this performance I found on youtube (so far), but it's taking me back. When I was a kid, I used to watch the Disney production of the story every single day. If there is anything that really makes me think back on my childhood and make the memories come back, it's that movie. I grew up with the whole Disney animated movie renaissance, so they always bring me back and make me feel good. I don't know. Something about the nostalgic value really makes me really happy and makes me feel like a kid. Even a bad day or a case of anxiety can be seriously improved whenever I have one of these on. Plus, I love Tchaikovsky, so it's a double win.
I don't know what I intend to say. Just feeling a kidish happiness and had to share for no particular reason.

I still love anything conducted by Sir Georg Solti that I find, too.

I'm not sure if I should be happy about this or not but my voice cracked when I asked for "Bacon." -_- I hope that means it's still going to change and deepen.

That's excellent. And I don't like the term "coming out" either.

Soon enough... I'm not out at work and I'm not out to the broader family and friends... and they're all on FB!
I did just privatize some info, though.

That was something I'd wondered about... the notifications.
I'm not hiding it... but I'm not out either. That's about the most complicated and obnoxious place to be. It was wonderful telling management at work ~ I totally understand you about the big weight coming off my shoulders. Work was an anxiety that isn't nearly as bad now.
Extended family will be the most difficult... and Facebook will be immediately after that. I'll have to talk to my mother about extended family before too long, but it might be 6 mo out (I'm thinking of going FT outside work for this summer or fall... depending on my development ;)).

Coming out to people is a very personal thing and seems to be dictated by both the relationship you have with your family - if any, and when the urge to move on strikes you. I went FT very quickly but I didn't much care what anyone thought. To be honest it has been a non-event. I gave a lecture to 300 medical students two days after going full time, I had given a previous lecture the week before as a guy.
I got one personal question at the end of the lecture when a girl came up and asked where I had bought my boots!

My plans are in a lot of flux - a lot will come from HRT, but I'm planning on being partly FT before I'm FT at work too. Even if it's only a few weeks or a month...
Really, though... I have no idea how long I can keep up the whole "male" charade. Other than dressing androgynously (for now), I'm not actively presenting as male. In fact, I'm changing a lot of my presentation in all areas of my life. Summer will be an extreme challenge for me to keep any amount of male presentation and I may want to address some of that now (regarding HRT and Laser).

This morning when I got to work I got changed and had to pee-pee. We couldn't find the key to the man's room and after a few seconds the senior caretaker handed me a key with "you can just use the girl's room". As caretakers, our uniforms are unisex and androgynous, so I felt so good about going in to the right toilet for a change, not even wearing guy clothes and being able to have a few minutes that felt right. When I was coming out I even saw a sign that said "Have a nice day Ladies!" I felt so fabulous. ::)

That's a good point. I figure I'll get sucked in eventually. :P
My SO had an account briefly a few years ago. She lost when Facebook insisted on her providing a mobile phone number to prove her humanity. Considering we don't own a mobile phone, that proved difficult. It also caused me distress to think that participation in cell phone culture is considered a sufficiency condition for humanity now. :P

Had a nice bike ride this morning as very pleasant day in Sydney.
Will go for a run later
Crowds lined up for day two of the cricket at the SCG not far from me as I went past at 5.30am!
Very busy when I came home.
Will hear about bonus and pay rise at work shortly which should be good seeing what I did last year as I had to put everything on hold until the work was done and put in regular 60 hour weeks for 9 months.
Life is good :)

So there is this friend of mine he is 16 im 19 , we would arm wrestle together for fun...a year ago I would easily defeat him...
6 months ago he would beat me but I would definitely show some resistance...
anyway we got to a friends house yesterday and we said how about a round :P
so we did it and for the love of god I couldnt even move his hand a little even with him not using all of his power...
he told me that I lost my strength...
I told him its the pills I take XD
anyway that made me happy,,, im glad that I ve lost some strength already,,,I hated being that kind of powerful so bad...
I wish I get even more weak :)

I'm still alive and have hope. That is always a good thing. I don't worry as much about the living, but the hope comes and goes.

Ok so i went on my nightly ride tonight, and as i was on the last leg of an 11.6km ride (7.2miles?) its not LONG as such, just VERY hilly =p very very haha and i live in a very hot place, anyways so i was doing my ride, and some stupid d*ck in a car screams out "lose some weight you fat c*nt" and the only reaction i had was to cock my head in a "huh?" kinda way, i mean i was on a godamn pushbike, not guzzling big macs, dunno what he thought i was doing! anyways, so the happy is i didnt emotionally destroy myself cos a random >-bleeped-<lord on the street was "mean" to me, it actually fuelled my fire and i got 1m and 9s faster on the last segment than i did my PB :)
edit: also mother got me to do some heavy lifting of furniature, even though my dad was sitting about on his ass doing nothing, he watched, like he usually does, but mum patted me on the shoulder and said "my strong boy!" /flex

One of my friends whom I thought no longer wanted anything to do with me has come around completely. He's also working on another friend of mine who was in the same boat. That would be a good thing, as the three of us should have started a killer band 25 years ago. It just never happened for one reason or another. I've had bands with both of them at one time or another, but never at the same time. That hope has been resurrected once again now.
I guess it takes time to process these things sometimes. I'm just glad he did in the end.

Nah, we did both kinds of music- hard rock AND heavy metal.
Another thing just made me happy. I ran into another ex-bandmate and college friend today randomly on the street whom I haven't seen in over a year. He was absolutely floored at what I look like now. He knew I transitioned, but he hadn't seen for himself yet. I knew he was basically OK with it, but I remember him being worried that I was making a big crazy mistake. I got a hug and an "I love you" from him. What a great day today was!

I got a whole heap of money back from Medicare (the Australian universal health insurance scheme) for my five visits to the endo last year. More than I was expecting too. I was a bit slack getting the forms in so submitted them all at once. Apparently I've hit some kind of safety net threshold (they must be taking my trips to the shrink and GP into account) and get additional financial support, something I wasn't aware I was eligible for. It'll definitely help with the bills.
That's great Gwynne. Likewise I have a supportive cis woman work colleague and I deeply appreciate being able to discuss my progress with her. Admittedly I do worry about taxing the friendship so I keep it positive just in case I wear out my welcome!

My tax agent said the ATO had discontinued medical expense claims from this FY. Not sure if I misunderstood or if it's being replaced...? A bummer if it's true.

I had a...good moment in terms of my body image today. My hair was just the right length and style, and I was wearing the one shirt I have that emphasizes the broadness of my shoulders and de-emphasizes my pudgy midsection. My arms have gotten thicker since starting hormones, and the hair is dark but not overly populous. Had a nice new pair of dark jeans on and my packer created just this slight little bulge (not erection bulge, lol, all natural :P). And my face looked all guy to me.
And I thought "yeah, I can see this being a face a woman would like to look up at." LOL. Gross, I know, but I felt kind of sexy. :P

It was yesterday, but I got home late so I'm posting about it now.
Last night I had a dinner meeting with a UCC minister whom I'd asked to write a letter of recommendation to the seminary I'm applying to (each applicant needs 3 such letters). As our conversation was winding down she said to me, "I don't know if I'd ever written a letter for someone as ready for this process as you are, and I've written a lot of letters."
This particular minister is very well respected out here, and to hear her tell me she thinks I'm more than ready is a real confidence booster. And without this transition, I doubt I'd have the ability to even hear that people have faith in me.
Wow, but transition can be a truly powerful thing.

Male-failed twice today. :) I was about to leave wearing a plain light-grey t-shirt when I noticed my tits were reeeally noticeable through it. I asked my mom for a second opinion and she's like o_o 'Go put on a bra.' I just put on a black shirt instead, so they weren't as noticeable but yeah.. gotta buy an actual bra now. Then later I got ma'am'd again (which the guy awkwardly apologized for after he realized.. xD ).
Also, my legs seem to be slimming down a lil bit! And some of my body hair is coming out easily and either growing in waaay slower or not growing back at all. :)

Just heard from my boss's niece, my boss is doing better and is eating collards and had some coffee. If she continues to improve, she may be able to go home over the weekend. I hope she does, I know she'll be more comfortable there, less stressed and misses Little Bit, her dog. Plus I can visit her there, can't go up to Greeneville to see her due to work.

Went to the endo today and all's good but what really made me happy was the first time they gave me a next appointment card they put my legal name on it. This time they put MY name on the appointment card.
Then after the appointment I went to my parents house to eat lunch and I told my mom many of the changes that I've noticed after nearly a month of being on HRT. I think my parents are finally starting to accept the reality of what's going on since they didn't freak out when I talked about the scary things "you know those byproducts of being on HRT and I love this and am not turning back" so maybe things are beginning to turn around with them. So this whole day has made me happy! :D

People have been giving me compliments. Also, I posted something in a thread I had been avoiding because I was afraid of drama, but it turns out people like what I posted.
When I looked in the mirror yesterday, I noticed I look really handsome. My face anyway since I avoid looking at the rest of me. I mean, my face is still roundish, but it's more angular than it was. I like it.
I feel good about being myself today (like every day). The compliments certainly help. lol But also I am getting the impression from people that I am being seen as a man and being accepted as being a little different. Not that my liking myself relies on other people. I like myself regardless. I like it though.

actually its my middle name and I have been thinking on and off about going by it since everyone has a hard time pronouncing and/or spelling Keaira.
In other news, I got my first shot at proffessional vfx work. I joined the team who is currently working on Star Trek: Renegade. Its going to be pitched to CBS as maybe a new series. It has quite a few actors from the previous shows, like walter koenig ( TOS Checov ) Tim Russ reprising his role as Tuvok, Garret Wang, Robert Picardo.....
so, I'm working on Star Trek. Living the dream.

Btw, I am also super excited over Keaira doing this work for Renegades. I've known since I met her that she is a very talented artist, and she's entirely self-taught (no classes, nothing, just dove right in and started learning the programs). She deserves this so much, and after spending so many years in jobs she hates to support her family, this may open doors for her to do something she truly loves for a change. I can't think of anyone who should have this more than her.

I went to my friend's birthday party and had a great time. E invited me over to play video games. S (the one whose birthday it is) told me he wanted to invite me to a viking thingy. S also told me (without prompting and of his own free will) that he considers me a close friend. This has been an amazing day. I feel like the pattern that has plagued me has changed. (Sorry for flowery words, but in my defence, I was raised by an artist and an english teacher.) I hope I'm not being too optimistic, but I seriously feel like something has changed.
Also, Emo, that is awesome.
The Renegades thing is also awesome, Keaira. I always think of the character from Lion King 2 when I see your name.

The B cup is almost full already. Will the C cup cope with the pressure?
Oh thanks Cindy :)

I went to my friend's birthday party and had a great time. E invited me over to play video games. S (the one whose birthday it is) told me he wanted to invite me to a viking thingy. S also told me (without prompting and of his own free will) that he considers me a close friend. This has been an amazing day. I feel like the pattern that has plagued me has changed. (Sorry for flowery words, but in my defence, I was raised by an artist and an english teacher.) I hope I'm not being too optimistic, but I seriously feel like something has changed.
It may be that you have changed and they are responding to your now positive vibes!

Yeah I know. I act like myself now.
My friend posted a Harry Potter personality quiz. He got Luna (no wonder I like him) and Igot Voldemort. He was not surprised and he still likes me. This makes me happy because 1) he knows me and 2) he still accepts me.

Arrived at school today and realized I'm absolutely pulling off the gay nerdy look, skinny jeans hugging my thighs, one hand in my left pocket pulling them up to give it a angle, hips slightly cocked to the side, my jacket open and clutching my frame just so, a pair of the big headphones around my neck, a soft, seductive smile at my lips as I remember the night before and my head fills with dirty thoughts. I may not be female yet, but I gotta admit, I look hot today.

True. Besides, a LOT of women just have breast enlargement surgeries so a LOT of what you see is surgically enhanced anyway. Sure, some do have huge knockers naturally, but a lot of them don't, so they go the surgical route. Speaking for myself, I would be screwed out of the large chest even if I was a GG due to my genetics.

Another morning-after-the-fact but I'm old and go to bed early these days.
Last night I had dinner with my two adult kids (cis-het son and genderqueer FTA daughter/son) and two of their friends: 1 a cis-het guy and the other a pre-transition FTM. And the conversation, at a dinner table in a restaurant, was just wonderful and open.

I think my mother is suspecting something...
A few days ago my mother was choosing a nail polish for her and she suddenly asked me "do you want a nail polish?"
Then yesterday I was telling her that I was on a rock store and saw some interesting goth girls. I told that they were wearing nice black dresses, boots and ragged stockings...then my mother asked me "do you want to buy for you some stockings or a black dress?"
Then today I was arguing that the pockets I have on my jeans arent big enough for me to fit my wallet and smartphone inside and she asked me "do you want to take my purse with you?"
She caught me by surprise all the times...and the only thing I could answer was a "no, thank you, mom"...
I am on boy mode and I am giving her some clues about my feminity...I think they are working...and somehow this makes me feel very happy :) I only wish I could give her more revealing answers...

I went hiking and decided to climb to the top of the hill on a steep unofficial trail, saw my house in the distance and smiled. Hard work, but nice payoff. Third day in a row I got good cardio in.
And I didn't hurt myself hiking in running shoes!
Tomorrow I'm hiking again for sure.

Holy crap. I just recorded my voice to hear what it sounds like and then compared it to my voice a couple months ago. The chipmunk voice is gone! Hurray! I'd still like it change more, of course, but I sound much more masculine.

I've been out with my family for several months and tonight I finally told my in-laws. Even though they are not religious they are from TN and wasn't too sure how they would react. My wife feared the worse, but it turned out extremely well. Lots of questions of course, but in the end they said to love us both and accept me and her. Regardless of whether we stay married or not, they both loved us and said that they are there if either one of us need anything.
So now all of my family knows and only my father (and his wife, third wife) is not accepting out of everyone else (about 40 people). So all in all, I feel pretty lucky. Next, will be a Facebook post about it next week.

Spoke with my partner today.
I'm not very good at keeping my gender experience on the table between us. I'm not very good at keeping her in the loop about what's happening for me in this area. But I brought it up today and it was good. I know it freaks her out at times. I know she doesn't wholly get it. But she is a good, supportive, insightful person - one I appreciate being able to speak to regarding these matters. As I described earlier this evening, she is an ally.
Of all this, I am very happy.

Had a shockingly hard day at work with so many issue.
Got to the bottom of them all and found out the real issue and how to fix it.
Great outcome out of bad start.

You should pass just fine Princess, you're awfully pretty and feminine looking already. You could be flat as a board and still pull it off!

I was over at my parents house today to drop some stuff off and along the way we ended up talking about me and some of the changes I've noticed about myself since I started HRT. Well before I left my Mom asked to see my breasts, first the fact that she didn't say chest or pecks had me thrilled and second was that she got wide eyed and gasped when she could clearly see that I had buds under my nipples. The best part was right before I left they asked me "well how do you feel about this new development" to which I said with a proud smile on my face "I'm happy about this as with each little step I feel like I'm am becoming the person I've always felt that I was" So I left their house in a great mood with is rare as usually I get emotionally or mentally beat down after having a conversation with my family about me being transgender.

I have 2 things that made me happy today :)
- I came out on Facebook tonight and I receive all positive likes and comments. I didn't lose any friends, but did gain 3. (3 of my wife's friends friends requested me.) Even my ultra-religious aunt in TN was supportive. How I did it, was first change my name and gender and started out with why the name change on FB. Of course all my immediate family and in-laws already knew. (The in-laws were the last to tell before I came out 100%) So all in all a great outcome.
- I had my 2nd appointment with my HRT doctor and the results of my blood tests were excellent. My meds were changed from half dose to full dosage and everything is a go!!! My next HRT appointment with be in 3 months in April to make sure everything stays OK.

I had a wonderful day at work, yesterday. My officemate left for another company... and my friend said she'd move in, though she's also leaving in a few months and won't be able to. She said I was one of the few people she'd like to sit with there.
I also talked to my managers - they have a meeting with HR later this week (just them) and I'll hear about it afterward. I think they're talking with another manager who went through this process and probably getting a little education, too.

So, I was about to go to sleep and I thought I would check my email once more before heading there since I've been anxiously awaiting a response from an Informed Consent Clinic that I asked if I would be welcome there because it's out of province. I've checking my inbox daily and it's been almost a month without hearing anything. Nothing there, so I decided to start deleting the hundreds of unread junk email I had in there. Finally got it down to 40 unread emails and what do I see? A response from the clinic received only 5 days after I contacted them. I thought I had been checking rigorously every day for a response but apparently not enough. Anyways, they said they would be happy to see me ;D ;D ;D. Trying not to get too excited or get my hopes up before anything actually happens, but eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! I'm so nervous and anxious now...but its a better nervous and anxious than before....

I opened the front door and saw a post office guy coming up...he had my waist trimmers in the mail. Simon had suggested I try them as an alternative to a sports bra for binding. So far they are AWESOME. I hardly needed any pressure to close them around my chest, and I am flatter than the sports bra made me because the bras always tried to "cup" the breasts where as this just lays flat on top of them. I also don't have to worry about a bra strap showing or have the feeling of them on my shoulders all the time.
Eeee I'm so excited. It seems sturdy too, I worry a little that the Velcro might undo and it falls off and then I am really screwed, but I'll try walking about in it. If it stays put, I'm going to mutilate the sports bra! ;D

Shantel inspired me! She told me to get off my ass and book a top surgery consult and inquire about credit options. So I did. I have a consult with a gynecomastia surgeon on March 4. There's an $80 consult fee.
Worst case scenario: they won't work with a transsexual, or give me time to sort out the cash, and I'm back where I started, only lost 80 bucks on a consult.
Best case: I book the surgery in Sept or Oct when I can guarantee them full payment, and get these mothers OFF.

She was pleasantly surprized with how much progress ive made over the last three months.After my session I went to my parents house to have an honest talk with them about my future. For the first time ever my parents showed the signs that they are beginning to accept the fact that I am transitioning and nothing is going to stop me from being happy :D

Speaking of money I just spent over $100 on breast forms....
Kinda makes me feel sick to spend that much but I wanted to actually fit in my clothes a bit until I start HRT.
That being said I really need to save up for HRT.. Planning to start in March if I can help it.

I tend to buy stuff with a great impulse though too.. I always have. Not sure what I'll do with them once I start hrt lol.

Shania Twain. In Canada. July. Tickets on sale Jan 24. I LOVE HER! I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED HER! My stupid brother is going to be in Holland over the summer though so I have no one go to with me. Who wants to go to something like that alone? Gaaah. I will do whatever it takes to see her that day, hell or high water!
I saw her in Oklahoma City!! WELL worth the money. She got the crowd going by wearing an Oklahoma University jersey the first half of the show and my school Oklahoma State University's jersey the last half. Best for last, I love her!! ;D GO POKES!! :laugh:

I took a long hike in the woods near my house today that took me from midway up the hill to the valley floor to the top of the Santa Monica Mountains, back to the valley floor and back up to my house. It's a good kind of exhausted and I get to reward myself with Japanese food later, after which I will undoubtedly sleep like the dead.

And, as if that wasn't enough for me to feel happy about today, I also told a guy friend about what was happening in my life. He already knew about my previous attempt and was so happy to hear my news he bought me a glass of champagne and dinner to celebrate. I think I could get used to this! ;D

I might be a little more than just bicurious... and I'm okay with that.
I was at work and had the pleasure of speaking with a gentlemen that had a british accent.
Saying things like 'good show' 'right o' 'indeed' and the usual.. I couldn't help but blush, I had goose bumps and I even giggled at one point which.. uhm... I'm fairly embarrassed about.
I don't know, I couldn't help it... was a great phone call though :)

Double fun!! Lol! British accents are SO hot, my girlfriend has the most amazing accent.. more than once I've gone "say that again, say that again!" to her. And I love making her say "you're a wizard, Harry". Not that you should try to make random people at the phone say that though.. :p

Oh oh oh what made me happy today was this WONDERFUL girl at the chemist. Oh gosh she was sweet!
I went there and asked for my medication, it's prescription only but it doesn't matter whether I take them as dissolving tablets, pills or suppositories. But unfortunately they only had them in suppository form and I was in need of them so I couldn't wait for them to order regular pills.
"Oh well, ima go home and feel bad for myself then", I said. To cheer me up, she said "I'll think about you" and I immediately responded "No. Just no. That is so wrong in so many ways" and she was blushing like mad. Makes me giggle just thinking about that.

I found the greatest cheese ever. I eat fresh plain goat cheese so much it's lost almost all its flavor to me, but I found some goat/sheep blue cheese that's mighty powerful. It makes you go :icon_blah: but it's wonderful. And it's local, so I have a ready supply.
I found a pizza with blue cheese not long ago. I was like oh my god this will make the whole house smell like post toilet visit but IT IS SOOOO GOOD! It smells lovely, tastes lovely.. just plain perfection. I'm not exactly spoiled with good cheese as I live in a country where we legitimately have something called the "cheese tax" to protect local farmers. Narrows down the market a lot.
But we do have a farmer an hour away from here with like.. 30 goats? He makes this super amazing cheese. Gosh I got cravings now.

Got money back on my tax return, over $300. No complaints from me! ;D
That's cool. Just don't tie it up so tight you can't breathe and pass out!! I had been thinking about getting a couple myself although my weight/body fat seems to be moving from my waist to my hips of its volition... means I look like I actually have a bit of a waist now!

I bought my first corset and finally had a chance to put it on today.
I'm loving it... I actually fit into some of the smaller clothes I bought.

You can hang it on a wall hook or just place it on a desk or table... it's basically just a small box without a back and with a hanger on the back.

I went to my GP for my annual check up, as I left he said something. 'You have gone from a depressed drunk to a happy healthy woman; Congratulations'
Life is good.
Never forget it.

The reviews say you'll notice a difference one week after the first treatment and depending on a number of factors can be complete in 3-8 months and covers a lot more area per cartridge.

Had my 3rd laser session today. My technician commented on how she is able to turn up the machine on me. She says I have a high tolerance of pain. (Compared to electrolysis I do for the lighter hairs, laser is pleasurable.)

Had my 3rd laser session today. My technician commented on how she is able to turn up the machine on me. She says I have a high tolerance of pain. (Compared to electrolysis I do for the lighter hairs, laser is pleasurable.) Anyway, she says that I making such good process that she thinks I'll only need one more laser session then I'll be done with laser :). (For the face and neck at least.)

I shaved a bit more.... 'down below'.
My gaff is a little on the small side so without the extra hair things look and feel better (lol... yeah.. feel better until the hair starts growing in a day or two :p).
Anyway I've only had the gaff for a day or two and I just feel much more feminine sitting here without worrying about it doing things.
A bit graphic.. I apologize but it made me happy today.
Oh.. also change the way I do my hair without having to cut it.. looks a bit more feminine, just more 'happy' to go around.

Funny how they always make your original proposal seem as if it was their idea though isn't it? If I had a hundred dollars for all my ideas that some management dork took credit for I would be wealthy today.

True, but I'm so happy that I don't care in this case. But I do have a lot of respect for the person who proposed it, she's only been with us about five months and is a great person to have as a manager. She listened to my whinging, saw it could work and put it to the big bosses who agreed. Why they couldn't hear me saying it before that is weird.

Got a job back from the printers today, it's a gimmick for a project/campaign at work...a four piece jigsaw which I illustrated and designed. Never done anything like this before so there was some scope for disaster, but it looks great! ;D
Ha! Yes, I've heard that too. Fortunately I'm not with a corporate business, just a much smaller non-profit community organisation.
In additional happy news, I saw my new job description and it's pretty much exactly what I've been asking for...so it wasn't a dream after all. Looks like I might be getting a bit more money too...

Thats rational :)
He also said a lot of things that made me feel better , so yeah I feel kinda happy :)
Yeah my androgynous adventures continue btw and it seems that I get soooooooooo many stares I cant even count them XD
wasnt like that a little time ago so I guess things must be changing...
but I feel happy about it too, I feel happy that I get stares , is kinda nice to annoy people or to make them think if it d be ok go out with me or wonder what I am...haha its really an adventure and a crazy one...still I dont wanna stay like this forever , I just cant wait till hormones change me enough so I can live how I want :)

I watched The Revenant and Left in Darkness. For some reason, I'm on a David Anders kick. Probably because I was reminded of OUaT which reminded me of my favourite characters from the show which reminded me of Dr. Frankenstein.

I'd be careful with being permanently labeled as transgender. Just be aware that some people start out with the thought that they will be open and proud, but once they're done transition, the desire to just blend in takes over.

Edit: he ran around naked til he was 8, that's an important clarification...pooping on the floor stopped around age 3.

I was talking on the phone with my mother today and she compliment on how well my feminine voice was coming along and I wasn't even trying. (Becoming very subconscious.) She said it wasn't distinctly female, but it was a voice that could be either male or female and she said it was even more feminine that my grandmother's voice. When I first came out to her, she was concerned that I would never be able to pass with my voice, but now she thinks I will no longer be an issue for me :)

I can't for the life of me figure out why I am single, guess I just haven't met a woman up to my standards yet. Oh and yes, did I mention I am modest? I am so modest I never mentioned my modesty.

No worries. I decided a long time ago that I wouldn't want to be like the 'sane/normal' people. They are so bad that they don't even know how bad they are.

You're so excited you've exited instead! ;)
I'm damn excited too! Amazingly, Jen and I both booked appointments with our shared endo some three months ago and by sheer fluke we chose the same day and have sessions one after the other. Many thanks to Susans' - for if it wasn't for this wonderful forum we wouldn't have met and become friends and definitely would've been none the wiser of each other in that waiting room tomorrow.

I can confirm Jen does indeed exist and is not a figment of the forum's imagination! Woo!
Also saw (same) endo today, Estradiol was super high (thank you, little E capsule inserted into my upper left butt cheek!) and my T is rock bottom - good figures. Blood, BP, weight all good. The doc told me he thought I looked ten years younger... flatterer! ;D It's good to get feedback from someone who hasn't seen me for three months - he also said I'd lost a lot of muscle tone across the shoulders (not that I had an awful lot to begin with) and was definitely developing well in other womanly ways. All up a positive visit, even if he was running twenty minutes late (and I was meant to be his first patient but wasn't)...at least I was able to keep Jen company in the waiting room for her 40 minute wait!
Only bummer was that there was no sighting of the gorgeous pink haired gal I fell head over heels for last time I was there! :icon_flower:

Back from therapy. A lot to tell, but in the end the shrink has decided I don't need antidepressant. And that's a relief. I only took them the first time because the only way to progress was dancing to the shrink's tune, and this time because I'd have needed to it again to get the SRS approval. She seems to be more concerned about me needing to study again, and she know I can't concentrate on that.

Shopped till I dropped today, my new bike is now complete. :)
Help a friend finish building 2 bookcases from raw timber we started last weekend and attach them to the wall, custom made for over a 1,000 dvd's.
Got Pizza on way home form a place I haven't been to for a while and they initially did not recognise me. Things are changing. :laugh:
Oh and I love my squishy bits.

Help a friend finish building 2 bookcases from raw timber we started last weekend and attach them to the wall, custom made for over a 1,000 dvd's.
Got Pizza on way home form a place I haven't been to for a while and they initially did not recognise me. Things are changing. :laugh:

I just heard an alert on TV news that Yahoo has been hacked and a large number of email addresses and passwords have been stolen. They advise yahoo people to change their passwords ASAP!
I have to wonder what anyone would want with my yahoo account. I rarely use it.

Last year my mother threw away my more masculine trousers and said I was too old not to dress like a lady.
Yesterday I finally found some that fit me nicely and I'm wearing them today :D
I don't know if it's just the liberating feeling, but I'm feeling very confident today for a change.
(I think it's the huge pockets xD)

I like skinny jeans but usually opt for men's because the pockets are bigger and I carry a flat wallet in my back pocket. Women's jeans have useless small pockets.

The new hybrid powder/liquid foundation at Body Works is amazing! And I picked up two jar fore $5 each! And they come with their own brushes.
Unfortunately everything else in the store is on the pricey side, but it's all natural, organic, and free trade.
Oh, and got a phone number for someone who does hair removal, and another doctor. Will call on Monday.

Finishing up the second story in an original series that I'm writing. It still follows along the same lines as the Get Along Gang fanfics I've been doing since it still involves anthro-animals. This story is centered around a couple of metalhead girls that come across a fellow female schoolmate that is also into metal. I'm in the middle of wrapping it up and in this sequence, the kids return to Lisa's house (This squirrel chick) and her mother, Laura ;) along with Kathy's mother, Donna are listening to some Death Metal demos that Brenda has brought over for her friends to check out.
It kind of mirrors some things from my own childhood, since my dad would always want to check out what I was listening to. The difference between the reality of my past experience and what happens in the story is that Lisa and Donna grew up as Punk Rocker/Speed Metalhead types so it would be easier for them to relate to it. The scene that I am working on where Brenda is blown away by the fact that they are into it is pretty funny and cute at the same time. :D

My boys were playing at a friend's home today, my oldest son calls and asks if it's ok if they walk with their friend to another friend's home to play. It's cold and they didn't have their heavy coats, so I go thru a long explanation of why it's too cold... when done he says, "so is that a yes?" :D :D :D
I had to laughed, I explained quickly that "no it's a no." :)

My mom got her King James Bible back yesterday after it's been four months. My sister borrowed it but it got lost in the back of her car. I gave my mom a non King James Bible my sister has as a temporary replacement, but she didn't like that one and I don't blame her. I'm glad she got her own Bible back.

I accidentally showed emotion and my male friends responded with kindness.

My hair looks really good right now. My voice has also changed. Pretty sure I am the only one who noticed, as I asked a few people and they weren't sure, but I definitely notice a difference over the last two weeks.
As for the hair... Sadly, it's a little too long for me to pass with it, I think. I anticipate misgenderings. Need to get it cut.

Tuesday I noticed that on 2 out of 4 women I met , yesterday 2 out of 4 , and today 1 of 2 women in an office . I don't meet many people (because of my job ) , so it is even more fascinating that so many of the cis women I met have this digit ratio .What were the chances ? :D I feel like it may not be as reliable as I believed and that makes me really happy . :D

This will sound emo, lol, but I discovered more grey hairs today. And that makes me happy. Because there was a time where I wanted to be dead, and thought I would follow through. But I'm not. I'm still here. And I get to see myself go grey.

I straightened my hair to see if it would look any better (yes, I'm vain) and saw that my hair is a similar length and style (mine is a little shorter) as Mr. Gold from Once Upon a Time.

S talked to me and sat next to me in stats. He said he wasn't planning on coming to stats, but decided to because he thought I'd be there.
I met new people who seem cool, who talked to me, and we had a lot of fun.

Although I am out to my immediate family I certainly am not yet out to her friends and colleagues. Just having to worry about that, knowing that my transition is underway, is actually wonderful.

A new friend added me on facebook. I also seem to have at least a couple other new friends. I am given the impression these people like me.
One of my new friends avoided using pronouns until he knew which ones to use. It's not quite passing, but I do like that he didn't automatically assume I'm the wrong gender.

I have learned the wonders of smell! I've been on hormones for 16 days and today was the first day I've experienced something where I feel like I can say "It has to be the estrogen." I've always had a pathetic sense of smell, so bad that I would literally have to hold even very pungent things in front of my face to actually smell them. Lately today, and some of yesterday though, I've been finding the joys of food cooking across the hallway, fish in a restaurant, the stinky garbage that needed to be changed as I walked in the house, my dad's stinky pain patches that reek of menthol, even the smell of soap! I can't really find words to explain how delighted this has made me after a lifetime of not having it, doubled with the fact that it's showing me that all of my doubts that the estradiol and spironolactone not doing anything are just silly worries and changes are happening, albeit slowly. :D

Two of my roommates and I started playing together- I'm on guitar, new roommate is a drummer, and the one playing bass just picked it up. We had our fourth practice yesterday, and the sound we're making is coming along pretty great! Kind of a noise-punk-shoegaze sound. Another roommate had friends over, and were pretty into it, which is encouraging.

It had been a while since I last saw her as it is hard seeing her and knowing there is nothing I can do.
She was happy to see me and spent the afternoon with her and her mum.
It was not as hard as it has been driving home. No tears this time.
Still feeling sick and tired but solved three big issues at work today.

Congrats Emo.
My friend, the one who knew about trans brain structure before I told him (I think), showed me a picture about pansexuality today. This may not seem like a big thing, but I like the fact that I have a friend who already knows this stuff. He also started watching an anime I recommended, likes mythology, and shares some of my opinions.

I actually feel pretty and confident in what I'm wearing out today. Black boots, tights, black pencil skirt, sequined black sweater and my hair was actually cooperative. It took a lot of makeup to cover what electro did to mah face yesterday, but I'm happy with the result. I also downsized my breast enhancements today and I think they look much better and more naturally shaped. Let's see how many guys want to buy us drinks tonight!

Made a new personal best on the treadmill today with 52 min and 4 seconds. Granted it was fast walking as I am not ready for running/jogging on it yet but it still meant alot to me as I proved to myself I can go that long on the treadmill. My previous record was 41 min and I didn't get out of bed for hours afterwards I was so saw. Right now no pain at all. *fingers crossed*
Also got my E dose upped and according to my blood test results my T level is now 1.7 so extra bonuses.

They started doing them for transwomen last year.
It was funny, the surgeon came in to talk to me prior to the surgery. It was the first time we met. He walked in with his head down reading my chart. He said "Good afternoon Ms. *****, I'm doctor..." that's when he looked up and said "oh I'm sorry, I have the wrong room". And he walked out. He came back about two minutes later. He said "I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to look so...um...beautiful". I thought it was very sweet. About two minutes before that, they had given me a lot of valum, and I had lost all control of my filter. So I proceeded to tell him that I didn't want him to do the surgery because he was too hot. It was quite entertaining for the nurse sitting there.

My permanent new kitty. :) I had tried a cat out last week that unfortunately did not work out (she was petrified the whole time, especially bc of my obsessive dog), so I took this boy from my work. He is from the shelter but has been living at my vet office for a couple of months now. At first, the shelter brought him in because he had a wound on his foot, but he didn't go back because we fell in love with him and wanted to find him the perfect home. I originally didn't want to take him bc he had scratched Kissy on the nose, but I figured after giving the other kitty back to the rescue (:() I should at least give it a shot. It has gone wonderfully so far!! He is so sweet and loving, still a bit nervous, but I only just brought him home yesterday. He hasn't slapped at Kissy once, and even though she is being curious and following him everywhere, they seem to be getting used to each other quickly <3 <3
His name was Sushi while at my work, however I really want to change it. My gf wants to name him Breakfast ??? but we are compromising on Abraham, which still may not be permanent. Anyway, I'm happy it's all working out.
On a side note, the kitty that did not work out is back with her foster mom and is doing well. She is really happy over there, so I guess it makes me feel a little less guilty.

Beautiful cat! Having spent time in the shelter probably acclimated him to dog smells and barking sounds. My Border Collie was best friends with our part Siamese Cat and cleaned both ends (ugh) of her and carried her around by her head, they were the odd couple!

While I do not know what about my blog they like since I don't post much mainly reblog I appreciated what they sent and also the amazing one to. It definitely cheered me up.

Came out to my dad and sister.. she accepts me! She said that she had always sorta known (common thing) and that she loved my chosen name. Feels so great to be proven wrong, I thought she would give me the cold shoulder. However my dad didn't go over with it so well, spouting a lot about how I am only trans because I don't have Jesus in my life or something, very hard to argue with stubborn ideology

Just made another new record on the treadmill 1 hour and 8 sec. Yes.
That is with a semi fast walking pace not running/jogging, one day I will though.

Yup, it use to crack me up when foreigners or folks from out of state would get all excited over the slightest tremor while everyone else was like -

LOL... When I was still living with my folks a good shaker knocked a clock off the wall which caused my mom's cat to jump up on my step dad's head into a Halloween cat stance (He's 6'6" tall) It was hilarious :laugh: But my mom was sad for the broken clock

A gay male (from my city who lives in the most "queer" part of town) called me sir without hesitation. That is the GOLD standard for passing. Seriously.
If he hadn't have I might have cried tonight because a woman called me ma'am. It hit me like a ton of bricks because although I got tons of sirs and mans all night, I couldn't take my mind off my chest and the fact that I can't even bind.
Considering my boobs and baby face, I am lucky to pass as well as I do. I obviously look male.

Biggest earthquake we've had in recent history (1989) in Australia was 5.9. We're not very quake ready here so some buildings collapsed. I was 167km away at the time but still felt it!

This is a few days old but it's my first post on here since getting back into the real world so I think it still counts.
I got out of hospital a few days ago, they've cleared my eczema & started long term treatment, for the first time since starting E i've been able to experience what female skin really feels like. I'll not to go into too many details but every sensation on my new skin is mindblowing from the tips of my toes to the skin on my face.
On the day I got out of hospital I had a letter waiting from the gender clinic to my GP saying that my T is too high & my E is too low, It was too late in the day to phone my GP but they woke me up with a phone call next morning to make an appointment so i'm being seen next week to have my HRT doseages tinkered with.
The best thing to make me happy though was the greeting I got from my dog when I got home, he went completely mental!!!!

I'm actually hungry right now.
I just got top surgery, and ended up really messing myself up by neglecting to drink water for an entire day, and for the past couple of days i have felt TERRIBLE. Yesterday was so bad I couldn't even finish a single saltine cracker without feeling nauseous. I took a nap today, and I woke up to feeling very hungry!!

P.S. I'm the pickles in that picture! We also did Toki and Skwisgaar once too. Fun times! Doomstar was great!
I just got top surgery, and ended up really messing myself up by neglecting to drink water for an entire day, and for the past couple of days i have felt TERRIBLE. Yesterday was so bad I couldn't even finish a single saltine cracker without feeling nauseous. I took a nap today, and I woke up to feeling very hungry!!

Today I just stopped by a small restaurant to have lunch and just before leaving I called a waitress because I was going to pay the bill. She attended me asking "Yes my flower?" Then the waitress realized she had made a mistake and asked my apologies!
I am not presenting different from the usual, except by having my hair longer and divided on the middle (not the fake one on my avatar)... and I was with a belt that was compressing my chest a bit and making my breasts obviously obvious (I was making a small "test"). Well, I got really happy! First time in all my life I was mistaken, and I don't care if it was just for one fraction of a second! :D
PS: these compression belts can make wonders!!!

It's stab myself in the leg day. I like calling it that.
Also, I just rechecked an e-mail from my genetics professor. My lab report isn't due until next week and I don't have a lab tomorrow. Thank goodness. I need the extra time for other things.
I decided to skip school this morning. Yes, I know, but the amount of tiredness I've been feeling is ridiculous and I'm guessing it has to do with being sick, so I decided to take the time to rest and hopefully feel better.

Boyfriend is feeling much better today. We decided that once we feel well enough to go back to Disneyland, we're going to do some awesome Disneybounds.
Got my new license in yesterday with an updated picture. Still has my legal name, but at least now I won't confuse cashiers and bartenders when I'm a dude handing them a license with a girl's picture on it!

scrolled down to see if we could make it gluten free (the boyfriend is gluten intolerant)
the breading is corn flakes, which are gluten free.
I also ate a plate of french fries today. I was suddenly hungry and decided thats what I wanted. Didn't feel sick or anything! Todays been a good day I think.

Depends on what you're breading, but mostly! We use cornflakes to bread chicken a lot. :) I've got pounds upon pounds of gluten free flour, too.

Vegas is great. I mean. I could do without all the sexual stuff. But it rocks to be seen 100% as me. It is great to not have places that saw me before transition and have no idea if I am a man or woman or what. Just a guy. Honestly I forget I am trans here. I still feel dysphoric which sucks. But there are so many men my size with boobs as big as mine. I can remind myself my chest is hiding in plain sight. And the men here dress like me! None of this peacock crap and brand name (unless I hit up fancy places on the strip - then it is all pretty boys). Just plain, simple clothes. I love the small towns and working class areas the most. I fit right in.
And I know that the hot girls are only being friendly because they want my money. But damn. There are some FINE women here. Also just some girls who are really sweet...the kind of girls I would get a crush on in real life.

This thread is uplifting to me. I've had a bit of trouble with being able to feel emotions or feeling-states as strong as "happy" but I enjoy pleasantries and insight into other peoples' feelings.
I miss studying genetics and I am currently skipping school indefinitely.
I miss Susan's and I am currently popping in now and then, hopefully with increasing frequency until I become comfortable with hanging around again.
It makes me happy to be so adventurous. I'm also getting to where I can talk in Ventrilo in World of Warcraft, and I'm too twitchy to talk on Neopets but I have been having small conversations with neighbors and with the postman and the grocery clerks. It all feels like happy progress.
Normal life is happier than it has any right to be and I am very teenager-y lately, self-centered and obsessed with one musician after another, and everything feeling more meaningful than it probably is.

Now to wait for the judge's answer, and I will be Noah (identified as female in the country). Then after two years HRT or SRS I can update it to Noa, or Ainhoa.

A very important message whenever your going through change and having a hard time
"We all change. When you think about it, we're all different people all through our lives. And that's okay. That's good. You gotta keep moving on, so long as you remember all the people you used to be."
I'm currently going through the whole, I don't know who I am phase of discovering the female me, and remembering that has helped greatly.

I also wore a cute pink hat for a little that I nabbed from a friend that got me the same results (: today definitely wasn't as bad as yesterday until I got out of basketball practice, and my brain pretty much exploded with thoughts of what's wrong with me so I took a breather and walked to subway.

Little over a month early but my dad paid for my new tv today as a birthday present. I was going to go halves with them on the cost but the sale we got it at ends monday and I wasn't certain I had enough so he paid for the whole thing and I just have to pay back my half of the price as soon as I can.
I now have my first flat screen tv.

New song.
Congrats Nathan and I don't know your name so I'm just going to call you Pickles for now. I can't wait until I can get my chest fixed.
Oh yeah. And, as usual, I love being me. My awesomeness makes me happy.

I took a shower for the first time in nine days.
Also, someone told me I inspired them to try something they ended up loving. Thats two people that have thanked me for inspiring them out of nowhere in the past week!!

Since I have narrow feet and have always sloshed around in men's D width shoes, B's are either inaccessible or $100 more, I was pleased when I discovered that women's medium width are so much more comfortable. It's as if I died and went to heaven!

I shaved and as I did, you could hear the razor cutting through the thickness of the hair. So satisfying. It is also very gratifying to have a nice, smooth, clean-shaven face after carrying around itchy beard for 3 days.

I'm now eight months into HRT and about three months from going full time! Progress? I feel like the person I've always wanted to be, happier and calmer; I have supportive health professionals, friends (RL and online) and colleagues; my beard is half gone; my wardrobe is changing into something I feel alive in when I'm wearing it; my hair appears to be growing back and (best of all); I now fill my 18B (40C) bra!

Sunshine. Crawled out of my winter clothes and took a nap in the hay feeder in my muscle shirt and shorts, and it was actually hot in the sun, six inches of snow notwithstanding.
Working out. I'm good at it, and I feel amazing. It's a bit of an eye roll kind of irritating that I'm so strong now after so little effort, when before I was on hormones I had to work my ass off and still only got so far. If I get intimidated in the weight room, I remind myself I'm guaranteed to be the only one in there who could ever do eleven chin ups while weighing 180 pounds with the body chemistry of a female - match that, meatheads. I'm friggin invincible. 8)

I was away today so when I got home, my nephew was eager to take me to my room, and I saw that he "made up" my bed all by himself. He just pulled some covers up but the mattress is still exposed. I thought the gesture was too adorable! On top of that, he write me a card saying "Happy frinedship day! I love you! He also gave me an envelope with a heart colored purple.

I felt well enough to pick up a new knitting project! Knitting the boyfriend a fox scarf. I got to use the really lovely red yarn my nanna gave me. its turning out awesome!
also felt well enough to do my t shot, after missing a week and some days. feels good to be feeling better (tastes good, too...mmmmmmm candy...)
I also got to go watch my weekly tv show with my mom, after missing quite a few episodes due to illness or surgery. to my surprise, my dad watched it with us! (he likes the show, he usually watches it on his own though). mom took a look at the pictures of my surgery and says it looks great, and that she cant wait until im all healed up to see how it looks!

Thanks, Shan and Laura!
Those dern thangs have been cramping my style since 1981. I almost got to toss one out back then, when it decided to swell up to the size of a tangerine. Turned out it had a bit of vestigial "girl parts" on it! Sadly, the doc was able to save it after cutting away the offending bits. You know, it's funny. I remember at the time secretly wishing I'd needed to have both of them out so I didn't have to be a man.

I started trying to get rid of my beard today! (HRT lessened it a bit already, my sideburns were growing much slower than the rest, at the point that I can barely notice any facial hair there after some days)
I Went trough my first photodepilation session, but I have chosen a method with Intense Pulsed Light (less expensive...I hope it is effective for my skin/facial hair type).
It was quite fast and I didn't feel any pain at all. Just little heat shocks and the smell of burned hair (ewww)! I hope to see results soon! I can't wait to get rid of this thing! :)

Went to a clothing store with a friend and while checking out was offered a store credit card. Thinking like I always do, it's a good way to build up some extra credit I applied for it. Well I have to present my ID which almost made me not do it but as a test I decided what the heck. Well when I gave my ID the woman turned around to put my info in the computer then just stopped. She slowly turned around and asked, Ma'am ummm this isn't your ID?!?!?!? With a smile I said yes it is my legal ID with my given name and gender. I kid you not her jaw went straight to the floor as she kept putting the ID beside my face and looking back and fourth. She then said wow I never knew the whole time and would have never known had you not given me your ID. At that point me and my friend started laughing because we both cleared a hurdle at that moment. Then she began asking me and my friend "who is a trans woman as well" all sorts of questions in a nice and sincere way because she was now very curious about us. She even asked if we were sisters mainly because our hair color is the same and we are both almost the same Amazon height 5'10 & 5'11 but 15 years apart in age. She opened up about her life as well and her own struggles with many medical problems all throughout her 53 years alive and was just a pleasant kind and understanding person. We talked for a while until she realized that she was late for her lunch and had to leave.
All I can say is that woman had no idea how much of a difference she made for how I view myself in public and for my friend as well who has been full time for two years now. Even she was elated to be told that she passed 100% even though she has known that she can pass just fine for quite some time now. I'm super self conscious like many of us are at how bad I think I don't pass but here this woman was talking to us for nearly half an hour without ever knowing that we were transgender until I had to show her my ID ;D Now I need to get my name and gender marker changed on my ID, and finally come out at work so I don't have to keep outing myself when I have to show my ID or credit/debit cards!

There was a shirt I was planning to buy from weeks ago, and it turned out they only had one left - in my size and the color I wanted! Yay!!! Got that shirt, a nice sweater, two vests, two tank tops (that I can finally wear!!!) and a jacket. I can finally dress nice!

I was worried that my doctor wasn't going to renew my HRT refills because the pharmacy didn't get anything back. My endocrinologist has all but abandoned me...they sent him the request and the receptionist said I hadn't "followed up in a year"...he didn't want me to! Lol! He just wanted the forms faxed when the time came. Anyway, my doctor has approved it and I just have to go pick up the forms. I'm glad. He's more thorough with bloodwork than the endocrinologist is and it's easier to have it all in one place.

round two of shopping today! i got some shorts (California summer is on the way!) and some really nice shirts. Top it off with Starbucks on the way home followed by sitting in the driveway watching the trees and taking time to really appreciate the simple things in life, like trees swaying in the breeze.
what made me most happy today is that i have the eyes to see the absolute beauty in stupid little things, and that i can share it with someone else.
i post in this thread every day...im really happy i guess!! lol

Quite proud of myself today. I found out what was causing my laptop to run 25% load on its CPU and sucking the power out of several small powerstations for several hours every time I turned it on. Which, since my laptop is rather powerful, is a lot.
Turns out it was only a couple of intensive processes from the maintenance software I use, which shouldn't have been running. And not a RAM-eating virus, as I first thought. But since I'm not terribly techy, I'm happy I managed to track down the cause and rectify it.

So cool Sephirah, wish I was so smart! I am tech challenged, it's age related and has cost me a lot with two desk tops and one lap top computers in the dump so far. When it gets to that explosive OGD moment, they go into the trash. I suspect it has something to do with my neighbors here in Redmond, Washington and their hole filled software. I have a MacBook Pro and haven't gotten into any trouble thus far.

I caught a glimpse of my reflection today and I was a bit surprised. Not only do I more resemble my sister than my old self now, I think I'm actually prettier now than my mother or my sister ever were.
Scary.
I mean, OK, I don't think either of them even own any makeup and they have both let themselves go, but still.
I will be one cute Amazon in the end, dammit.

More beard progress. The sideburns have thickened substantially, spreading more into cheek territory. I also see some peach fuzz developing around my mouth (where hair connects the mustache and the chin hair), which in my experience, predicts the growth of actual hair in the near future.. Sometimes I forget that things are still changing because they're not as immediately obvious as they were at first, but when I think back to when I was teaching (almost 3 months ago) I had a lot less going on for facial hair. It's gotten thicker since then too.

My friend eventually pressured me into ringing up the GP and finding out what's going on with my referral as it's been a month, and I said I'd give them that to sort out funding etc. I was putting it off because normally they make me so angry and frustrated at their incompetence, but today... I found out they'd (finally) been in touch with the Gender Identity Clinic, and yesterday they discovered that they can refer me there (I told them that 5 months ago but...) The receptionist said she'd leave a note reminding him to dictate out the referral letter, and then it'll just be 3-4 months waiting left until I get my first appointment.
I got off the phone and cried in relief.
I celebrated by buying a phone as mine electrocutes my ear when I'm using it.

One of my friends' friends who is in all of my classes chose to be my lab partner in biology. The lab was pretty easy and involved a lot of waiting, so we got to talking. Turns out we share a lot of the same interests. Then we hung out with people after lab which was fun and I met a few other guys. (One is really attractive. Just saying.)

got a thumbs up on my healing progress from my doctor! we dont have to go back for four whole weeks. woohoo!!
after our appointment (two weeks boob free never felt so good!) my wonderful partner in crime took me out to my all time favorite sushi place-right down the street from the dr.s office!! we then went to a japanese market and he bought me some milk coffee and my favorite pastry (chocolate cornet)!
i finally got the sizing issue in my compression vest figured out so i dont have to worry about if my bandage is tight enough.
and last bust most certainly not least, i felt good enough to sing i mean REALLY just belt my favorite panic songs, something ive found hard to do the way this year started out. for singing along to my favorite songs, probably out of key and really badly, with my boyfriend singing too, i am most grateful.
can i be excited about things that are happening tomarrow? its my (very wonderful and supportive) mothers birthday, and we are going out to eat. I get to see my (very awesome and supportive) brother for the first time since surgery (and most of my hormonal changes) and i have a GREAT new outfit to wear!

went to my mothers birthday dinner at a beautiful fancy restaurant. They seated us just near enough to this AMAZING mural that I could see the entire thing-it had some old greek monsters id never seen before, so i got to look them up and LEARN.
i couldnt decide between the salmon with orange sauce and white chocolate mashed potatoes or the braised beef...I chose the salmon. Best choice ever! The food was amazing! The entire table had a cocktail (thats a drink once every night for three nights so far...) and it was GOOD.
Met the owner of the restaurant, i wasnt sure if id pass (i never am) but i did with flying colors. All in all a really good night!

A couple roommates and I went to a party, where I hadn't seen anyone since I started my transition. The only one who recognized me was the friend who invited me (who I caught up to speed last week), and two others (guy and a girl) eventually figured it out.
It was fun watching the guy piece it together, and he was so sweet once he did! I did feel kind of guilty for the girl, though. She originally approached me, saying she was confused because she felt like she knew me from somewhere, and that I looked like [Dee], and felt oblivious since I was "obviously his sister." That put such a big smile on my face.
I stupidly went along with it, but after a bit I started to feel bad for misleading her. Finally told her "I'm not [Dee's] sister, I am [Dee]." She told me she had realized this after we first 'met'- I had introduced myself by my name to her friend- and that she felt awful for not recognizing me. We both apologized (though, IMO she had nothing to apologize for), and she kept complimenting me that I looked great! So that's had my spirits perked ever since! :)

got to wear my new comfy sweater and my poor pup finally got a bath (we couldnt do it cause we both just had surgery, so mom gave him a bath)
and finally, took my first GOOD shower in almost three weeks just now! it felt great to not have to worry too much about getting too wet. now if only i could get this swelling down faster!

The overwhelming support from the girls here on Susan's in my time of need thank you so much.
My apologies also. I have been caught up in my own issues, which are trivial. My love to you and your child.

Oriental nut mix!
And I got more hay for the horses. Two tonnes, should last a couple of weeks. That's one big worry off my shoulders. I also have a doctor's appointment tomorrow that I am actually looking forward to.

Responded to a Diversity email from my work for a function in a few weeks as it strongly supports the GLBTIA community or so they say.
Today got an anonyms survey email, obviously based on the response and filled it in and it even had a section for T.
So added my comments as the groups are always focused on GL and B at the expense of others. Shame they forgot A but I pointed that out.
See what happens.

Listening to the song Koko by Sander van Doorn over and over has made me feel good :)
And as will food, hopefully it doesn't suck like it did yesterday. The caf at Holmes Hall was always bad, but it's even worse over spring break.

I got a call from my old employer today. They asked me if I would be interested in working on a temp basis again. I'm very excited that I may actually have something again because I've been going through a rough patch. This was the job that was going to re-appeal for me to take over a permanent position there towards the end of March, all the result of hiring freeze drama. If I can get back in, even on a temp basis, that may help me in the long run. At the very least, it will let me save up a little money at a time when I feel very broke. Let's hope it works out.

"You gotta kick it up a notch
If you're ever gonna reach your goal
You can't sit around and watch
Your destiny is in your control
Go ahead and kick it up a notch
If your life is at a level too low
There's not attempt that you can botch
When all you gotta do is just give it a go
But then again, what do I know?
What I see right there
Is a prisoner
Who's sitting on top of the key!
So kick it up a notch
If you ever wanna be
Free"

I just don't think it'll happen so soon because of my age. I'm under 18 so I need parental consent. I'm hoping if my therapist approves of it, my mom will as well.

And Edge, yeah probably since she needs to drive me to the place but it isn't all set up yet. We still have to find a therapist. Like I mentioned on here before, I'll be attending a transgender meeting on the 14th and I'll ask for some references there.

i managed to transfer some of my dearly beloved pokemon to my new game (and maybe some colorful new friends...)
and got a couple of fun things in the mail today...;)

Had my first use of the women's room at one of our favorite places we eat for lunch sometimes. Even though it's a single stall restroom, I was still nervous. No one was around, but still felt great.
Then we went to Costco to have my Finasteride prescription refilled. (My HRT prescriptions I get from the community center pharmacy.) Anyway the pharmacists ma'am me and ask for the name (male name) of the prescription. She did a double take on the (male) picture on my membership card and she immediately picked up on that I was transgender. She was so nice and set me up on a new discount program that reduced my 3 month supply of Finasteride medication from $150 to $28. She asked about if I had medications from anywhere else that I wanted to move and we compared the prices and they were about the same with the discount as the community center.

Left a hospital and went to the cab rank, three guys waiting and no cabs. I asked if anyone had called the cab company, three guys looked blank so I called and asked for some cabs to be diverted. One arrived in abut 30 seconds. The first guy in the queue opened the rear door and said 'miss this is yours, you were the only one with the brains to call the company'. How sweet ;D. Even better I saw more cabs arrive as I left.

Rather than confuse him just tell him the truth when he's old enough to assimilate and understand it. Tell him that you're his biological mom, but that you have felt like a man all your life and have now become the man you always were inside. Keep it simple and to the point and he'll get it.

Oh my son understands it no problem. It's the various adult people who help him (OTs, speech pathologists, etc) who keep calling me "she" that I'm not sure how to explain it to.

Gotcha! Sounds like you'll have to be firm and demand that they use your preferred pronouns in front of your son and that anything other than that will be disrespectful to you both.

oh hey, at 6'3" I'm already tall enough, right? Apparently not! I never thought I'd ever wear, lead alone buy high heels. Never say never. Fell in love with them...couldn't say no. How could I say no? These are for extra special occasions (hope I have some!) and amazingly are quite easy to walk in and make my legs look great. :D

Alright, something very sensible and comfortable too. These are definitely more my speed. Cute!
Also bought a pair of ankle boots and sandals, photos when I manage to take a decent shot of them.

forgot to post last night so heres yesterdays:
got a swag new jacket in the mail, lazed around and relaxed all day, and then went to an overly amazing PFLAG meeting. We had a pastor that had recently changed his way of thinking because he actually felt wrong about condemning gays, an old cis white athiest who is currently making all sorts of backup plans for the trans youth bathroom situation, just in case (he also patted my boyfriend on the shoulder after he told everyone about his surgery, it was great) a couple of parents who have a LONG way to go and their gay (and proud) son...and us, two trans kids who just had the most amazing life changing surgeries of their lives. What an amazing diverse group!
now for todays:
went to our favorite sushi place that we maybe go to too often...did a little window shopping at the mall near the restaurant, i knit and i really enjoyed looking at all the knit sweaters that are in the shops. bought some AMAZING jasmine tea along with some sort of peach explosion type deal...and a new pot with a built in strainer! went to the japanese market and got a yummy strawberry pastry, in honor of the bakerys strawberry fair and some icecream...and now we are home, snuggled up playing pokemon and im getting ready to finish my boyfriends knit fox scarf and play some fallout new vegas in anticipation for our upcoming vegas trip!
i am happy every day and i am so thankful that i have the ability to survive. i worked hard to be this happy and im finally feeling like i can relax and not have to try so hard to see the good in life.

Horrible, horrible week at work with so many problems and issues.
Very difficult but worked through them to fix most of them.
Came up with solutions that worked and client happy.
Babies growing strongly and bouncing all the time and hard to hide.
Gaffer tape them down ??? Stapels?
I have a further visit with the pain monster tomorrow :-\
Well the weekends here now and I can stop thinking about work and enjoy being me.

Actually yesterday, a friend gave me a ride to get my bike repaired and to get some groceries 8) I thought that was pretty cool
Just as I'd thought, the rear axle was broken so we dropped the wheel off, went to the store and the wheel was ready when we got back 8) Everything timed out really well and the repair only cost me $20

Not having anything to shave for the first time in 30 years.
Nailing "The Wind Cries Mary" on a Stratocaster that's older than I am.
Knowing I'm getting a gel manicure later, then I get to make my famous tacos and margaritas.
It's Friday!

Nonetheless my dad is due to arrive in about three hours. Good, because I won't have to spend any money on anything I need for the weekend. Going to stock up on necessities at his expense since all the money I have right now is to be allotted to hormones and if I have anything left then to clothes.
I think it'd be awkward shopping for clothes with him, but I don't think he'd give me the money to go buy them on my own.

They said it is because I pass completely, have blended seamlessly into society, and I am happier than I have ever been. I don't think it hurts that I have done a bit of modelling recently either.

Absolutely nothing wrong with ASD. My son has Aspergers and I probably do, too (albeit un-dx'd).
Give ASD kids a structured environment, targeted direct instruction, and appropriate accommodations and they can fly.

My wife and I were out buying a new (used) car for her today. (A Fiat 500 Convertible at a very good price and 12k miles on it.) I was ma'amed and misses by the dealership even after having to show my male ID since I was co-signing the loan. Dealership was great and had no issues whatsoever. (It was in Brooklyn after all.) The only bad part is the slimy finance guy to tries to add the extras you don't need.

Edge seems like a great father.
Nothing wrong having an ASD either, I have it too but I like to believe that what I lack in certain skills I can compensate with intelligence.

I'd want the Twin Air semi-auto model though, which is only available in Europe.
Evidently in 'Murica, everyone wants a 1.4L engine that gets 38mpg rather than a .9L that gets 59mpg. I also get super nervous driving a manual transmission, even though they're cheaper and get better gas mileage (hence the want for a semi-auto) I'd have to go with an auto.
Eugh, whatever, I plan to go to grad school in the UK, if I end up needing it. Gotta choose a major for undergrad first.

I love driving a manual, especially a fun car like that. Unfortunately my wife will not drive a manual even though I've tried to teach her in my old car when we first met (1992 Nissan Sentra). She is afraid because of what she did at age 14 when she tried to drive her old sister's Fiat (she had a Fiat Spider) and hit her parents house with it when she panicked with the clutch on their steep driveway.
When I was teaching her, she was doing fine until we hit traffic. She knows enough to drive one in a emergency and that it all she cares about.

My wife and I were out buying a new (used) car for her today. (A Fiat 500 Convertible at a very good price and 12k miles on it.) I was ma'amed and misses by the dealership even after having to show my male ID since I was co-signing the loan. Dealership was great and had no issues whatsoever. (It was in Brooklyn after all.) The only bad part is the slimy finance guy to tries to add the extras you don't need.
Don't they drive you nuts, "We include free rust proofing for $XXX"

one of my very best and oldest friends got her first kiss today. shes been struggling with her sexuality for a long time and finally decided gender doesnt matter to her. im very proud of how long shes come, when we were in highschool we would have arguments over gay marriage (she comes from a very catholic family) and now shes one of the biggest supporters of my transition. Hell yeah! Go get her!
AND one of my best best best friends in the world went on a date with another good friend of mine and she kissed him. He was elated and maybe the happiest ive ever seen him!
hes cis, and never once even batted an eyelash at me. we have stayed in hotel rooms before and hes seen me without a binder, knew my boyfriend before his transition and never even mentioned or asked if im trans. he just accepts im a male and has never had an issue with it. hes the best friend a guy could ask for! and now hes got the cutest girlfriend ever!
my friends being happy after so long of being sad made me happy today.

I went to an LGBT event on Saturday with my wife and a few friends. A couple of them ran into a friend of theirs who occasionally does drag performances. He asked us for drag name suggestions because he was sick of the too-common standard one he was using. (Candy Kane- *barf*) We spent about an hour coming up with fun ones for him with a Mexican twist. Some of the fun ones were Ann Burguesa, Kay Sadilla, and mine- Juana Kiss.
I just found out he's using my suggestion. The kicker- he had no freakin' clue that I'm trans!

I hung out with my mom and her friend at a house that she has been working on to sale at some point. I took my computer speakers and my little MP3 player out there and listened to music while I hung out. Earlier this afternoon, I sang for 2 hours straight (doing songs by My Dying Bride, Autopsy, Faith No More, Mr Bungle, King Missile and a few from the Tenchi Universe soundtrack. This song here proved to be the most difficult:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdZ_QveGaTU
BUT, I managed to improve on it a bit. Before, I could only hit it at about 20%. This time I was able to get it up to 60%. It isn't perfect yet, but I am making some solid progress with that one.
:D They couldn't believe that I could sing that long without any real breaks. (Other than 10 to 20 seconds to cue up a song by a different band)

took the train and spent the whole day in Little Tokyo with my mom, eating delicious food and doing some shopping. She has an affinity for gold lucky cats, and she managed to find this loose leaf tea jar shaped like one. It was the very last one of that particular design, she was so happy! We topped off the day with Boba slushes and a nice relaxing train ride. After a quick rest we took the pup to get a new collar and a treat. He sure looks snazzy!
Spending good quality time with my family and seeing them happy makes me happy! and also great collars for my dog.

Yeah, I was inspired to work on my singing voice a few years ago. It was really difficult for a while because my tonsils were messed up. But once that was corrected it became much easier to get to work. The main inspiration for actually singing was Mike Patton's work in Faith No More & Mr Bungle. My main influences would be (bouncing back between harsher vocalists and more melodic ones here. Google any that you don't know):
Aaron Stainthorpe (My Dying Bride)
Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mr Bungle)
Chris Reifert (Autopsy)
Bliss Blood (formerly of the Pain Teens. But her work with Exit 13 on the "Smoking Songs" CD was a massive influence).
Julie Wemyss (Conor & Jay)

I think it's partially thanks to the unique(?) laws about treatment of trans people in Finland. Thanks to my GID diagnosis - F64.0 - I'm entitled to all possible treatments, from HRT to SRS with minimum costs (not that I'd go as far as meto or phallo but anywho).
But it's most likely thanks to the remnant of narrow-mindedness in the law as well. We can't get the gender marker changed without being sterile. That law obviously stemmed from the fear of men giving birth and women conceiving children. Then again, I'm basically sterile already even without hysto, as far as having a paper from the doctor is a sufficient proof. |D
But yeah, Finnish trans people have things pretty good. Considering my top surgery cost me ~60€ (cost of the days I spent in the hospital) and I currently pay 3€ for about three months worth of T.
Hysto will be more expensive because I need to stay in the hospital for longer time.

Found a great laptop at Officemax with 8 gb memory, AMD graphics card and 750gb hdd. Which was $372, after promo and rebate. To repair the charge port on my current one, it was at best maybe going to be $300, plus the $35 consult fee. Didn't have it at the store but a store about 30 minutes away did, so they'll be picking it up later and call me when it's ready. Mostly likely will be today, but tomorrow at the latest.
So I can get back to digital art very soon.
The much older Vaio I am on right now, is great for blu-rays and browsing, but likes to freeze and crash when digitally painting. And sucks for gaming.

Yeah, our medical stuff is either very cheap or free of charge in the public sector. No insurance required to get things done etc. The only downside is sometimes having to wait for several months but it's a necessary bad to deal with and not so bad in the end.
Hopefully you'll get the transition related stuff started ASAP on your end. :)

Also my stats prof agreed to let me do my midterm later due to my son's contagious infection.

Feeling slightly better about things after a horrible period struggling by myself.
Massive stress at work now over for this month.
Seeing therapist next week so that should help.
Need to start thinking about shopping as changes are really happening.
Full b cup breasts, fat redistribution well underway and skin silky smooth.
I am stunned by the effect of those little blue mm's
Oh and found how it is so much better. ;D ;)
What a difference.
And the weekends here so more rain :-\
10 days? What happened to 80+ :D

Nice shopping trip at my local Goodwill store. The women there know & like me. Found some nice things as always for very low prices. I wear a size 10 shoe & it seems they always have my size if a wait a month or so between visits.
A couple of new men are courting me, so that's nice however I'm just not excited yet about either man however I'm in the mood for a spring romance so I'm looking more. Updated my profile in one dating site.
So all that made me happy. :)

F1 season about to start within the hour.
Been following it since 1985 and watching Ayrton Senna through all of his victories and to the very worst...
Followed Aussie Mark Webber now for many years so will be neutral after he quit last year.
Looks like heavy rain coming which will make it interesting.
Yes I am a rev head.

It's time for a new spring physical romance, not just FB/trping. New profile is open & numerous somewhat decent looking men are courting me. I may have to kiss some frogs however it's time a found a prince again. I love being with a man as his woman & hopeful for SRS perhaps within one year, I hope.

Feeling better about things at the moment. Looks like I have come out the other side.
Been struggling a fair bit recently as E changes become more pronounced.
I do so love the changes I see and am feeling but it's hard pretending during the week as it takes its toll mentally.
I love by growing breasts and the softness of my skin and that my bum is getting fuller!
I love the decreasing body hair and the emotions.
I love that my scalp hair is thickening and my face has softened.
I love the time I can be me!
I love life now but so hate the thought of ever going back
I look forward to shopping for my new wardrobe shortly with Grace.
I love that I am finally accepting myself for me. Yes it's a huge hurdle but who cares?

I will be seeing my other counselor tomorrow. My mom has kind of started to accept me more; she even said today "do you know what parade is next month?" I said I didn't. "The pride parade".
I'm hoping my counselor can direct me to a gender therapist. My goal is to maybe start testosterone by the summer, that's if my mom supports it. Still have to be diagnosed with gender identity "disorder" first though.

but you can tell the important thing for me is that he accepts me and treats me like a girl and also offers me support I guess,I couldnt do it if that wasnt the case...
I just dont know if things can progress when im that inexperienced and he has a ton of...

Quote from: radsi on March 17, 2014, 05:33:55 PMThats a lot of shirts lol.. I am guessing you will need different colored shoes to compliment each outfit? lolI know. I have 5 primary club affiliations (Barcelona, West Ham, Roma, Bayer Leverkussen, and BK Hacken,) several clubs I sympathise with (Aston Villa, Atletico Madrid, Schalke, Olympiacos, Atletico Minero, Estudiantes, to name a few,) and then my favourite national teams (Spain, Croatia, and Romania)
Football shirts look hot on women they complement their curves ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Hmm, I may want a Vlad Chiriches shirt too, I really like him, but Tottenham is meh...
I'll get his Romania shirt instead.
This will be the actually useful collection that I develop. Model aircraft aren't quite as wearable, nor are upscale hotel card keys (which I often find used as bookmarks in airline in flight magazines)

Reminds me I have to replace my irreplaceable 11/12 Messi shirt I brought back from Spain and lost in my move 3 weeks ago.
I want Messi, Xavi, Puyol, Iniesta, and Neymar in Barcelona, Pedro, Iniesta, Xavi, Alba, Ramos, Negredo, Silva, Mata, and Thiago in Spain, Modric in Croatia, Dzeko in Bosnia, Carroll and Adrián in West Ham, Benteke, Delph, and Vlaar in Villa, El Kabir in BK Hacken, Ljajic, De Rossi, Totti, Benatia, Pjanic, and Gervinho for Roma, and Kiessling, Sam, Bender, Castro, Leno and Spahic for Bayer Leverkussen. Probably a few other from teams I like somewhat, like maybe Huntelaar from Schalke, Ronaldo on Portugal, and perhaps a future one of Schar on Barcelona.
Need to get a job to afford all these...
I want a Juan Mata United shirt. As well as Rooney, Januzaj and de Gea; I don't have a single Man Utd item.

Called the Endo's office today to find out what my blood work results were from my 3 month check up. My T levels are in the typical Female range and my E levels are just a little low so they told me I could start taking the full dose of E now :D I am beyond happy right now. I know I was levitating all day long haha!
It seems like everything is starting to fall into place now with my transition. I can go outside and to places by myself and not feel like I'm going to freak out. I've been meeting other transgender people and everyone keeps telling me one universal thing, I actually look very cute. It's hard to believe it since I have very little confidence in my looks even though my mom even said I was beautiful when I was at their house last night. She actually complimented that they way I did my makeup was fantastic. I know I do actually look quite cute and I find it odd that I'm having a hard time coming to terms with something that everyone would love to have, I always thought I'd never look good and made myself believe it. The only bad thing is having to out myself when I have to show my ID, though I do have to admit that the 4 times now that I've had to do it have all be very positive experiences as the person would have NEVER guessed that I was transgender or so they say. But still I absolutely hate the fact that my name & gender on my ID/Bank/Credit/Dental/Health insurance cards all have the wrong name on them and I need to fix that soon but that will also mean taking the final big step in coming out and that's coming out at work which I'm still terrified of :/
People at work are starting to ask me questions about my appearance and it's most likely only a matter of time before someone asks me the big question.

I cant believe that tomorrow I have a date with my partner and after that a movie with my girlfriends...I really cant believe it...
All my life I would hang out with guys, I dont know why , I guess I went with the flow and I always felt disscomfort and out of place...
There are times that dysphoria still hits me but like that I feel that I ll have a much more easier transition if I may call it like that...
I feel like I could embrace even this awkward stage between male to female...

You never know! My mom was the youngest to pass away in my family, she was 89. Her sis died recently at 102 and their dad was 100. My dad and his brother were both in their 90's, people say gee you come from a good gene pool, but the reality is that I could be flattened by a Mack truck on my way to the mailbox or struck down with some disease triggered by an environmental pollutant, so I don't allow myself to get too excited about it.

I've started going full-time (without realizing it) since Friday. Even today with not shaving for 2 days ( since i have electrolysis tomorrow morning in the early am) I was at the auto parts store getting a headlamp bulb and was still getting ma'amed. It probably helps that the remaining hairs are white (thanks to laser) and even though I can feel them, you can only see them when the light hits them in a certain way.
