Yesterday my wife and I met an old friend who had not known about my transition until a few days prior.  She told that about the biggest change in the last five years was us both getting new jobs.  Then I kind of just stared at her and said "Really, that's the big change?"  She then said she was so used to me being me she didn't even think about it.

That was really, really nice.  :)

you tell a new facebook friend that you were not born a cis woman however I'm a woman, taking hrt & hopeful to become a nicer & more complete woman with my grs one day. Then they are so happy for you & treat you like any other woman friend. All women have problems & need to help each other. It's so nice to be a member of the sisterhood with so many cis women friends.
mtF, mid 50's, always a girl since childhood, HRT (Spiro, E & Fin.) since 8-13. Hormone levels are t at 12 & estrogen at 186. Face lift & eye lid surgery in 2014. Abdominoplasty/tummy tuck & some facial surgery May, 2015. Life is good for me. Love long nails & handsome men! Hopeful for my GRS & a nice normal depth vagina maybe by late summer. 5' 8", 180 pounds, 14 dress size, size 9.5 shoes. I'm kind of an elegant woman & like everything pink, nice & neet. Love my nails & classic Revlon Red. Moving back to Florida, so excited but so much work moving

Getting treated in "that" way (special smiles and extra friendliness) by other women that lets you know they see you as female. I never got anything like that living as a guy, but as Eva it is happening more and more.

You get a mani/pedi - wish I could more often.

You go out and still get treated as a woman when you don't pass.

You finally reach the point of self acceptance, stop caring what others think and the weight of the world lifts off your shoulders.
BElieve in YOUrself

It is nice when you feel shy because you weren't expecting people to say you are looking good!

It is nice when people calls you with the correct pronouns and when family don't call you by your birth name

...you get on the train and a bloke nips past you saying "sorry, miss". Miss?????!  :D

Sunglasses are very helpful, and cover a multitude of sins ie: eyebrows.

...someone is addressing a group of women that I'm part of as "ladies". Seriously, I don't know why it makes me feel so freaking happy but it does. It's even better when it's coming from another woman.

You get your eyebrows done and see how much of a HUGE difference it makes.

Literally from Tarzan to Jane!

Spending $300 on a dress for the races, knowing that you'll only wear it once
Yes! I'm single
And you'll have to be pretty f'ing amazing to change that

When someone walks into my lab and asks if my old name is in, and a male staff member says no; but Cindy is, I'll take you to her.

...when I can gently startle a work colleague who hasn't yet seen me as a girl.  Watching their reactions is priceless  :D

Yesterday: 

"Hello Paco"
[Uncertainly] "Hello..."
"How are you?"
"Um, ok, do I know you...?"
"Yes, I'm Julia"    (I've not changed my real name - it's genderless)
"Oh my G-d, I just thought you were one of the girls on this floor!"
"So I'm not so scary then...?"

When you have a boyfriend who sees you as a regular girl.

When someone trusts you enough to ask for advice

When youre alone and can be yourself

When you draw something perfectly

...a new work colleague is shocked to realise I'm some 14 years older than him because he sincerely thought I was in my thirties. Wow! Given I'm nearing 49 that's a pretty awesome thing to be told. ;D

A man opens a door for me, looks down at me, gets a great big incredible smile and says "Hi".

When people accept me as a woman, as Jennifer and not as anything else.

Sitting on a dock at the lake, watching the sun set and enjoying nothing other than finally being me, finally finding peace.

Jen
To move forward is to leave behind that which has become dear. It is a call into the wild, into becoming someone currently unknown to us. For most, it is a call too frightening and too challenging to heed. For some, it is a call to be more than we were capable of being, both now and in the future.
