Well,
Its getting easier to be full time.
I go to a ballet on Saturday night for Valentine's day. I mean talking about throwing yourself into full time... but can't be helped now I can't pass as a dude at all.
Anyway, I like to dress in jeans and cool shirts from the Buckle but everyone wants me to dress more feminine.
I need to get ears pierced again because when I had FFS they took my studs out and grew back together.
My wife soon to be ex was giving me lessons on the hip movements today... cracked me up... but I think I got it.
I just want to be natural.. not have to think so much. One thing I have learned is as I walk I keep my chin up and shoulders back and watch my posture much more than I used to.
Its getting easier to do and I really don't think about it
Also I don't look left or right when stopped in my car because I notice guys staring at me and don't want them to think I am interested...
I updated my profile pic showing my 15 minute make up day.. I was in a hurry and kind of in tomboy mood with jeans and guy shirt.
I can't shave after Sunday because of my next facial clearing so I will not be in public Monday and Tuesday as a bearded chic.
Love the clearing I don't have to shave for at least 2 weeks then it starts slowly coming back.. whatever they dont kill. They say the fourth clearing should get rid of my shadow for good.. thank God or someone.
Here is my updated photo Bucket <iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://s1382.photobucket.com/user/asbbrinleepilot32659/embed/slideshow/"></iframe>
Anyway, I still need to lose some weight.. my endo changed my E to a lower dose seems I was high in E.
My best friend from High School came by last night and I was in full makeup and he was like I never thought I would say this but your so hot. He was smiling ear to ear and very happy for me. I really appreciated his compliment..
He said, wow I did not know in high school I was hanging out with a hot chick LOL... I was an athlete and he was like.. wow I feel sorry for any dude that tries to hurt you because they would find themselves on the ground..
Take care...
Love u all,
Dodie
So happy it is going well for you! Isn't real life just awesome? :)
A really good update Dodie, and it's great that things are going well..!! Ballet is always good, so enjoy yourself.
Isn't it brilliant when you meet up with a male friend who knew you before, and who now thinks you're hot!? It's happened to me, and it's really both affirming and quite weird :D

Sounds like things are going great for you, and you're looking fantastic! Some if the other stuff, like "feeling natural" will come with time. I know I practised walking with my hips before transition but it's second nature now (plus I'm sure the HRT and weight distribution down there has helped).
We'll yes it's wonderfully to be full time.
I did love my buddy thinking I am hot.
I pinch myself sometimes thinking how lucky I am to have transitioned
It's so cool to look in the mirror and see the real me that was trapped all those years
We have bday party this weekend and a Christian lady who told me a year ago I just needed to man up and be the man god meant me to be and god does not make mistake will be there.
We'll I will be putting a little extra eye liner on just for her.
Last time she saw me I was that big dude
Should be fun
Love
Dodie
so inspiring!!!
