WAKE UP AND SHAKE MYSELF OUT OF BED AGAIN

Toss almost my entire wardrobe out looking for what to wear today. As I'm putting everything back I notice,  yes they are all tops and some can give a andro appearance they are definitely the female cut.

I own one dress and one skirt that I wear when we have our melting days around home. Outside (as in going to the shops) I always wear jeans I can't even remember when I wore shorts. Can someone please show me where it says girls must wear dresses and skirts. They can be fun but I'm a tomboy and proud of it

Shower, dress, moisturize, no make up. Why I've been gendered correctly without it, and apart from concealer to hide the bags from lack of sleep. It's not me. A girlfriend and her partner don't use it are they any less female?

Yes my face isn't completely clear, but strangers have still been gendering me correctly. I won't let what I can't completely control get in the way of my happiness

As I'm going out the door I check my handbag to make sure everything is in there that I need today

Everybody uses my correct name

I look at my work uniform its the girls polo.

At work more people are calling me miss, girl, love and when they are losing a word that starts with 'b'

I can't remember the last time I was called sir

The past two times I've had to go I've used the correct bathroom.

The couple in the unit below me know me as "An Aussie girl"

When shopping for me shop assistants are directing me to the womens section, or what is popular with girls at the moment

A new hairdresser where I get my hair done has always seen me as female

I have boobs ;D

What I'm trying to say in my roundabout way is I woke up today and realized I'm full time. When I don't know but I don't think I care. Christmas came early for me this year :laugh:, I must of been a sweet little angel :angel:

Such a wonderful day the day is.

Do not look back.

Wish you the best on your path

Hugs

As did yon butterfly, the "Aussie Girl" has shed the last of her chrysalis. 

Woo, a great realisation indeed! ;D

I can't wait for that day! 

Congratulations, I'm so happy for you!

Out fricken standing!!! I am extremely pleased to hear this news. It gives me hope that someday, it will happen to me as well. My future is more tangible now than it has ever been. I've put on my proverbial "prophet hat" and see what is to come not only for myself but for all those like me. Thank again for giving me this "vision".

The thing is, for some it is a case of intentionally planning to become full time at a specific point and for others it happens gradually in such a way the only thing missing is the acknowledgement that it has happened.

I most definitely slipped into it and here I was a month ago freaking out because I was thinking I need to do 'a' 'b' and 'c' to be full time. But there not me 'x' 'y' and 'z' is. I'm happy, I'm me and I think that is truly the main thing. As said we are all individuals nobody is exactly the same.

I would like to thank some people both hear and in real life:
Who told me I'm only fooling myself in how I present in relation to work. (Nicely of course)
Helped me get over some fears that I was having about routine normal situations
Tried to make me open my eyes about how I looked, was treated and the content of my wardrobe. (Yeah I can be stubborn at times)
And one who told me "......Whatever works for you is cool"

thats awesome!!!
its a great feeling when the pieces fall together : )

Wow how inspiring!

You know I'm early on in but I look back and see just how far I've come without even setting deadlines for myself. I still plan to go FT this upcoming (northern hemisphere) summer but it might just happen without me even realizing it.

I really need to work on the shadow and voice. Shadow is getting there but I've had some re growth which is annoying.

That's awesome!  I've been living somewhat full-time for about a week now... but it's not that I don't have any intentions of going back into guy-mode.  I'm just unemployed and don't see any reason to go out as a guy right now as I am much more comfortable as a female.

However, until I get my name changed and a new driver's license, then I will be applying to jobs as a man, so whenever I (hopefully) get an interview then I will be going back to living the dual life.  Not really looking forward to it, but this girl needs a dang job! 

Congrats to you!  What a wonderful Christmas present :)

Congratz immortal gypsy! I felt so happy for you reading that post~!

What is annoying for me is I posted this on August 14 when I left my city site and moved west.
"I'm out at work now reality sets in"
"Makeup: It is one thing learning to put it on, for myself I need to know how to make it last for a 10-12hr period straight without having to touch it up.  (OH&S would have a field day in my profession no lunch break most of the time your always on your feet and back of house you can be climbing over stock)"

I was obsessing over putting it on and working out how, and still failing. This one little thing was making me blind to the fact that people where seeig me and treating me as the girl that I am. Clothes may make the man, but make up dosen't always make the woman. All I had to do (and finally did) was listen to that grey mass between my ears

Yup, you are now full time!!

Hugs Sis,

Mmm we are going to need a count up of how many Aussie girls have accepted their lives this year and gone FT, and how many are just a few steps hops away.

Indeed. Well it was the best thing I did all year that's for sure.

Make that two and I'm still smiling from yesterday morning. FULL  TIME. Two little words of four letters are filling me with such joy. I don't know why I didn't realize this sooner.

Hugs for everyone I'm so happy

There is a word hidden in FULL TIME

LIFE

That's awesome! It's a very happy day. Just in time for christmas =P

Congratulations to you Gypsy - just keep on doing your own thing and being your own woman.

I've got a few more sizeable hops ahead in 2015. It'll be interesting and delightful amongst all the other bits I'm sure...
