So, I came out to two of my friends and they were very accepting of me.
Today, I decided to take another step towards my transition. I know, it is nothing big, but it is very important for me, and the image I have about my body.
So, I bought a hair clipper, and trimmed all the hair on my hands, my forearms and my arms. Also, I shaved them afterwards. They feel so smooth. I put on some lotion, for the dry skin. It smells so nice.
I know, you must be thinking, this is such an insignificant thing, but I know, I was so conscious of my hairy arms that my wardrobe consisted of only full sleeve tees.
I feel so euphoric.
I guess, sometimes, its the little things that we enjoy the most.
I look forward to so many more experiences like this.
Love,
Saira.
Yays! I'll never forget the what-the-heck-am-I-doing feeling I had the first time I shaved my legs. Post all your milestones, your words may become someone else's "Aha!" moment. :)

That's great, Saira! I'll bet you feel pretty great about yourself right now! Congrats on taking that step!
SelenaKyle, I thought you were one of my Links Staff for a minute there! We don't see many of the Significant Other badges.
Hugs, Devlyn
You are doing amazing Saira!
Thats pretty amasing Saira! Especially your friends!!
Hi Saira,
I know what you mean about the little things. Yesterday I painted my toes (and shaved the hair from my feet) but although I wear socks, and no one can see them, I know my nails are a gorgeous sparkly red (for Christmas) and it makes me feel good.
Have Fun,
Izzy
That's wonderful. Congrats. It's an important milestone to you and that s what is important.
