It was raining on my way to work this morning and a nice young lady offered me to share her umbrella while waiting for the bus. How sweet. Jx

My middle daughter is graduating from college with her BA degree today.  I am very proud that that she was able to get her degree even though it was during a period of time where her mother and I were going through a nasty divorce and I'm sure it was troubling for her.  Not only did she get her degree, she worked as a nanny for a family that has been very good to her.  I can't wait to see her get her degree!!!

 

I got called a Siren at a party and I feel better than I have in a long time

Taking my daughter to the zoo today, we had a great time together!

Finishing the Bruce Jenner Interview.....made me quite happy. Except for one small notion of it that his daughter Chloe mentioned.

So I have held back posting here up until last Sunday because the whole trans women only part. I really don't understand why a topic like this is exclusively for trans women. I'm not saying it's is wrong. I am just curious about why "what made you happy today" needs a to be a gendered thing.

I honestly don't know. There's an MtoF and a more general one. I can only guess that this might be a place to be happy about things that might trigger an FtoM, although it doesn't always get used that way. I certainly wouldn't be offended by an FtoM only version.

Start a new one for whatever you think, I just started this kinda "for women only". All looks good on my plastic surgery in 7 days, facial, FFS I guess, delicate surgery for both my upper & lower lips to make them full & more balanced, liposuction & a tummy tuck for a very thin waist. Happy girl so far. After wearing I should look so much nicer. I wanted to kiss my doc yesterday but held back, he's very handsome.

There is a whole "what made you happy today" in the general section, and it's for everyone if you want something all inclusive.

I like reading and posting in both. This one helps with boosting my spirits in my experiences as MTF, the other simply helps me share the joy with everyone.

I always see this one and I never see the other one. Ok that is cool

I usually have these really tiresome dreams where I'm at work and don't know what my job is or what is expected of me, or I'm back in the Navy and I'm out of uniform while on base ("oh crap, where's my cover?"). And I'm usually male. Bleh.

Last night's dream was better - more of the "where am I and what is my job" stuff, but for once I was clear about my transition and explained it to a bunch of people in a work setting, and they were all friendly. Then I got mixed up about what I was doing, but turned to my assistant - where did he come from? - who very quickly got things sorted out. I felt happy and a little bit in control.

I want a repeat!

<<<<<<<<<  Made a necklace with a matching set of earrings.

Moved up my full time date at work!!!

I kind of had to though. It was getting extremely difficult to hide to the point where there was a vendor there who "mistook" me for a woman for the first few days until we interacted in depth. I currently present male at work.

Congratulations Kate!

Thanks!

Just to clarify though, it's next month as I wanted to give advance notice. But it was going to be July. So I moved it up a month.

I watched mad max last night and loved it. Furiosa (charlize theron) was one of the best female characters I have seen. It was definitely a nice change from the stereotypical women being rescued by a man and then falling in love with him plot.

Also there were like for different people that correctly gendered me. Though, funny story, one of those people I thought said man when he said ma'am, and I almost cried. Then he said "are you ok ma'am?"

then i realized he said ma'am the first time too, and I said "yes thank you I am fine!" And my face was like  .

He was probably like how what a strange women.

SRS consult day.

That must feel nice. I'm 5 days away from my facial FFS surgery & liposuction & tummk tuck surgery. I want my body to have a much nicer more female curvy shape before my GRS maybe later this year. My local plastic surgeon may do my GRS later. That would be so nice. I trust him & his entire staff. Try are so nice to help improve my body & face into a very attractive woman.

Well, nabbed a sweet new Hat and Tank Top today!

Also I get a nice break tomorrow to hangout with my best friend and NOT worry about work xD  I'm also counting the days down to seeing my Doctor, so all this on my mind keeps me in a peppy mood today xP!

Met for a couple hours with a news broadcast producer from one of the local (Big 3 Network) television stations.  They are interested in doing a story on transgender issues and wanted to talk about my transition and what I would say to the world if I had the chance.  Needless to say we covered alot of topics in two hours.  I believe they are very interested in getting additional information out to the public on many of our isssues.  They may even accompany me to court on Friday when I have my hearing on my petition to get my name and gender changed.  This could be very benificial to our community and to many of the individuals who are struggling on coming to grips with their gender issues.
