Hey everyone,
So I have had a few exciting things happen to me. I got gendered female at a restaurant despite not wearing makeup. It made me feel great and it happened again at a drive-thru yesterday. While I like wearing makeup, it seems I don't need it as much as I thought to pass and I may not wear it as much in day-to-day life.
I recently FINALLY met many of the Florida branch of Susan's members. They were great people and I hope to hang out with them some more in the future. It makes all the difference in the world to meet other transwomen and men in RL.
Finally, the most exciting news, today I got my Florida driver's license! Yay me! It feels so good to have an official form of ID with my real self pictured on it instead of him. My male name on it doesn't even bother me that much. It should make flying and other things much easier. I did have a little trouble getting them to accept my old driver's license as valid. The old man at the information desk took one look at my picture on it and showed it to me and said "This is HIS license" as if I had given him the wrong one. I said "No, that is my license. That is why I want to get a new Florida one." He shrugged his shoulders and sent me on my way to the next station.
The guy there creeped me out a bit when he started talking about "weird" Craigslist personal adds and whether I read them although he was overall super-chatty and charming. I am not used to guys being so nice to me. It is a strange feeling. I am starting to get a peek of my future on this side of the gender divide and it can be a bit trippy.
So that's all from Florida for now. I'll keep you all updated from time to time, unless all of you decide it is boring. ;D
Congrats on the new license! ;D
I am sure that your new photo looks amazing! :)
<------ Mmmmmm, blueberries.
Wow and only 3 months on HRT, you go Melody! :P
Wow, already! I wasn't expecting that for at least another week :)
It was great meeting you. I hope this weekend is super awesome as well.
you go, girl. Congrats on the new ID. hmmmmmmmmmm Blueberries.

I work fast! Guess I am now officially a Floridian and can leave behind my Texas past!
@Janet, thanks!
Congrats!
There's nothing like getting your first female identified documents is there, I remember it well when I changed my passport and the F identification denoting female was written in it, I kept on getting it out and looking at it for weeks, lol. One of those pivotal moments in our transition isn't it.
Yeah, guys can seem pretty creepy when they come on to you, complete strangers coming up to you and begin to talk to you. Its normal male attention but it still freaks me out and I begin to walk faster, lol.
You go girl.

As I want zero complications in regards to my marriage too Sevan I have decided to keep my papers and documents as listing me 'male'.
I have had a number of times come up already where medical workers doubted Sevan and I could legaly be married. When I pipe up 'I am legaly male' it ends any issues.
I guess my marriage is more importan to me than this aspect of my transition.
Well, all I really got was a new picture with my old name and a big fat M as the gender marker. The guy behind the counter must have known this as he was the one filling in my info for my new license. Made me wary that he was something of a ->-bleeped-<- or turned on by the idea. Not quite sure what was going on.
MMMMMMMmmmmm, blueberry vodka

Oh I noticed it, Jackie. And I am a lesbian.

It was last night... Ummmm, 11PMish for us. So you would have either still been asleep or rolling out the door for work. Kitty should have told you. She is awful.

No cuddles for kitty tonight then >:-)
Ooh I want to go clubbing. I don't know if I have enough cleavage for it though. Also congrats on the new license!
While Jackie is here I will sit at her feet and learn the ways and power of the cleavage! All hail the cleavage!
