Title: A Birthday Party
Post by: stephanie_craxford on May 24, 2005, 08:58:42 PM
Well my wife has done it again.  Some times I wonder how I deserve such a person... We were having supper last night and out of the blue Gillian (my wife) anounced that she is going to have a birthday bash for me in June.  She said that she would invite all my friends and that on that day "Stephanie" would be formally introduced to the world.  Wow.  She is such a special person.  We talked some more about it tonight, who we would invite and such.  I'll keep you posted as the plans progress, I have to lay back and take this all in.

Chat later.

Congratulations hon. It's always nice to be accepted. Make sure that from that moment on the only face your present is your female one. Nothing can hold you back more than appearing unsure to your community. Let us know how it goes :)

Stephanie, thats fantastic! I can completely relate to your situation, as I too have a partner that fully accepts me as TG and supports me at every step of the way. My partner was so giddy when it came time to pick a name for me :)

It feels absolutely wonderful - and often times beyond words - to know that someone in the world wants to understand you and be as supportive as they possibly can. Enjoy the party planning!
