Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Today I had quite a bad headache at work and was really slow and grumpy. I work as a professor and one of my closest colleagues is a psychologist. I have not come out in my work, but everything will come in time :D

So, we were working together and we were not understanding each other, and she just burst off saying...you are such a man today!, I prefer working with you when you are more...and femenine was in her mouth, but, she backed in the last moment, looked at me and said...as you normally are.

I have to say that I enjoyed it and made me smile. :D ...and made my day.

I do believe that she might be on to me or know something. She is a profiler in psychology and reads people very easily, but, with her, I don't care.

So, I thought I would open this new topic, so that we can share the moments that made you happy and proud of who you are.

Wish we could enjoy with our own happy moments.

Yesterday, at my gynecologist appointment, I was discussing why I need a surgery recommendation letter from her. I said that with the current political climate, immigration raids being targeted at "sanctuary cities", it is not safe to have anatomy that does not match all of my official documents.

One of the raids that started the protests in California was at a Home Depot store where they rounded up Day Laborers - some of whom are U.S. citizens. What if I were at a Home Depot just shopping, and an agent decided that I looked "suspicious" and included me in their roundup? Sure, all of my state and federal IDs list me as female, but a strip search would make that difficult to prove that the documents are legitimate.

My doctor looked at me and said, "You don't look suspicious."
I asked why, "because I'm white?"
She said, "No, because you look feminine."

I wasn't wearing makeup, just jeans, a t-shirt, and earrings.

That just helped me remember that how we see ourselves is not the way others see us.  :)

It's so important to have positive reinforcement. Very happy for you. :)

So, hello girls...no one else has had any positive moment that would like to share? ;)

So another one of mine...in a trip I recently did, I was thrilled because I was called ma'am by a waitress when she came to the table and saw me from the back, with my pony tail growing by the day...when she turned and saw me from the front (I was dressed neutrally) she blushed and apologized...she didn't know there is nothing to apologize for... and that made me smile :)

As I hace read in the forums, this is a classic, but never gets old and, at least, it made it to my happy memories.

I came out to one of the ladies in my pickleball group recently. She just looked at me and said " I knew there was something I liked about you!" That made me feel completely at ease!
