I've lost bout 5 pounds in the last week.  Thanks Keaira

You're welcome. ^_^
..........
Wait, what did I do?

I walk into the pharmacy in male mode and not one, but two of the techs there call me 'She'.

Also, Skyrim legendary edition guide. This thing is massive.

This was yesterday, but I was thinking about it just now. Yesterday Keaira's son was with me a lot of the day, at the pool and later the movies. And in the car he said "if you were my older brother, that would be cool." And later on, Keaira's wife told me that at the movies, he wanted to switch places with her, asking if he could "sit beside his buddy" (me). Lol. It kind of makes me tear up a little when I think about it. Honestly, I am so touched.

Name change form sent! Hurrah!

Congrats, Liam.

I am nearly a day post-op and I feel great.

That's awesome Liam!


Today is my 2-year HRT trAnniversary!

2 things made me happy today.

The first was that I got a phone call to tell me that my flat will be available on either the 14th or 17th of this month, YAY! This means i'll be out of this hostel in less than 2 weeks & away from all of the ex offenders & heroin addicts (I kid you not!).
The last 7 or 8 months here has been a living hell!!!

Then Mommy dearest popped around, I told her about the problems i'm having trying to get electrolysis funded on the NHS,
My mum has offered to help with the cost of my electrolysis as she gave my brother several thousand pounds a few years ago.
I was unbelievably worried about the holdups on my electrolysis as i'm due to go to the gender clinic in 2 weeks & am due to see the endo to get my HRT started, after waiting for 2 1/2 yrs I don't want any more delays.

Oh! This also made me happy. I went in to see a public notary this morning to witness and sign the name change form. While we were there, he very kindly told me that he was actually seeing this more and more because people were less afraid to come out. This makes me happy for the obvious reason: he is accepting and supportive of trans* people. But also, I didn't tell him I was trans. Granted, changing my name to Victor is a dead give-away, but I've been surprised by the number of people who still call me "she" anyway. It's nice to have someone recognize that I am, in fact, male.

Also, I ordered a book I've been wanting. I am really excited for it. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13602221-goblinheart

What made me happy today was getting my ears pierced. The best value for £13 I've had in years.

Finally got to go see Star Trek - Into Darkness  , loved it

Taught myself how to tie a decent looking bow tie

Also got the last bits for a three-piece suit that I ordered for an upcoming event. And...it all fits!

Lesson learned - if you're small, have a look at Korean clothing (Doubleju, theLees, etc). Inexpensive, decent looking, and fits great on small slim guys!

I came out to a friend in person for once!  She thanked me for preparing her while I'm still at an early stage, too.  Apparently she came back to her co-op after summer vacation a few years ago and was surprised with their transition

So today I finally realized that I'm one of those girls... I'm actually attractive! Guys think I'm hot and it seems like I'm getting hit on all the time through out the week. I live that I have quite a few dates lined up in my phone. I feel a little bad for dating around but I am super nice to all the guys. It's just nice to know I'm attractive and hot by quite a few people's standards . Ok I'm done now

Officially 6 months on hormones!! I'm half a year old

It was actually yesterday but I talked to the main hr person at work about being trans. We talked for 15-20 minutes. It went great and so far i'm 3/5 with coming out to people that already know someone thats trans. She told me her daughter has two trans friends so she understands completely. I was scared and anxious and started to cry. But what really made my day was, she gave me a hug on the way out. I was so relieved.

Congratulations Jenny. Isn't it wonderful?

I stopped to try to have a child before transitioning. It's something else i've always wanted so i'm conflicted about that and hrt. Plus i'm extremely jealous because I cant get pregnant myself. My g/f gives me weird looks about that, but i would gladly trade what I don't want for periods and the body I wish I was born with. Is that normal for most of us to think about?

I was somewhat happy to watch Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in bed with Caleb.

Thanks Jamie. It is wonderful I could not be happier with the past 6 months of my life. Wow I cannot believe it has only been six months! Even with the huge list of things that I've put myself through and all the countless hours it took to make those decisions, I would not change a single second of it for any reason. And there's nothing that anyone could do or say that would convince me otherwise.

I dunno what the main consensus is, but I rarely think about pregnancy or wanting to go through it. It sounds kinda rough. I did bank some swimmers before I started just in case I do want kids... Honestly though, I feel like my life has regressed 6 years- almost like I have a chance to re-experience my 20s. Kids aren't really even supposed to be on the mind anyway when you're 23 in heart & mind

Got a good deal on perfume and body spray at the Body Shop,buy 3 pay for 2 and £5 off!

I don't know that there is a NORMAL, each is different, but I thought about children a lot, not that I wanted to raise children, I always wanted to be a surrogate, I thought about it a lot (still do and I am 50 and I have had children, 3 with regret)

I must have lost weight because my pants are falling down. Yay less prominent girly shape!
