I agree too Grace - it complements your skin tone.

Thank you both!

Me too! And I love how you think about your relationship with her... I understand this strain we place on supporters, as well as the work friendship stuff.

Good feelings! 

Very good feelings but at the same time I feel a bit guilty in that I'm having so many back to back positive experiences when so many other people who are in the same transitioning boat as me aren't getting to get the same positive experience and are only getting negative ones. I guess I'm just having one of those what makes me so special over others moment. I shouldn't let those thoughts dwell on me but it does creep in from time to time. I want everyone to have a happy and positive transition but I know life is never fair for everyone.

I did manage to keep my toes hidden from view in the communal showers. That's good, I guess.

Seeing the picture of Miley Cyrus on Cosmo. She is so hot that I could die. Funnily enough, I would have thought I'd have preferred her before her image change - as I usually like more conservative looking girls. But I never noticed her before she changed her look. she is so damn sexy as she is now.

I came out to my class today and they were amazing about it. They kept saying they felt honored I'd share that with them, and asking what they needed to do to help me further. Honestly I feel so normal and good right now... Also the class we had before that we had a guestlecturer say he was happy we had at least 2 boys in this class, he was counting me

ENDA passed the U.S. Senate!

Showed a work colleague my avatar pic, she knows I'm transitioning but I'm not full time at work and she hasn't seen me in female mode. She's the first non-counsellor/doctor/shrink I've shown it to... I was a little apprehensive that it might be pushing the friendship too far but I could tell she was (pleasantly) surprised - she said she really liked it and I'm pretty sure she wasn't just trying to be nice. One thing I hadn't been expecting is that everyone I've shown it to has commented on the hair (wig) colour. I'm naturally a brownish colour but I just really liked the auburn when I saw the wig... and it's been so uplifting that everyone I've shown it to so far really thinks that colour suits me.

Of course she wasn't just trying to be nice........you look gorgeous in your avatar pic.

I was having a crappy day at work. I went to the canteen, made myself a coffee, sat alone and looked out the window at the rain. Then I had the thought.........God, I love being a woman!!!
Then, everything was ok again.

Funny how innocent things can improve one's mood. Thanks for the smile, Ciara.

For the first time, I've managed to tie a bra from behind.


All of this because I am worried about being mocked in the gym if I have to tie it from the front and turn it. Although I am afraid too about my naked torso being seen there. Between the tiny boobs and the male form...

Now you've got to learn how to change bras(normal ones with shoulder straps) without removing your top...

Mmm. Taking out the arms from the top? ANd.. Apart from sweating, why would people do that?

What if you realize its the wrong bra for the top after you put everything on and are all made up?  I try not to change tops after makeup as even though I only use a little, invariably I will get dirty the collar if I change it.

That's what I was thinking now... I have two bras and one is far more padded than the other, plus the color issue is the top is too thin.

Found this thread.  And the before and after section.
