Backup plans progress...in a wonderful way!
A great friend who is CIS and her boyfriend, both very open-minded, have offered me to be a roommate in their home if I need to leave my job here. It would mean moving to a different city and finding work there. But I would do anything- even working fast food if I have to lol.
I have a good job here, but I am realistic about how things may go even though they couldn't fire me just for being a transwoman.

Now comes the doctor appointment on June 30th to see about starting HRT. the lease on my apartment will end next year at the end of June, so hopefully I will be nicely down the path by then.

Some very weird guy walked up to me out of the blue today while I was at a renaissance faire and asked me if I was a boy or girl, "because your voice sounds somewhere in between and I can't tell." That hurt quite a bit. What didn't hurt was going to a Quicktrip on the way home and lining up with the other women. As I walked up to line there was zero reaction from the ladies looking in my direction. When the line moved up into the bathroom itself I used a paper towel to wipe some dirt off my leg (it was rainy today so the fairgrounds were super muddy). While I was doing it she asked me what happened or something like that and I made some small talk with her while I waited. As far as I could tell, even if anyone noticed I'm trans or unusual they didn't comment. I was also wearing a very short crop top and really tiny American Eagle short shorts. Frankly, not the most modest attire. :P

Somehow I put on my slip ons that have a three inch heel and can balance perfectly. And the other night couldn't balance to save my life weird.

Went to work as Kayla for the first time after taking a couple weeks off and everything went about as well as it could. Made it through the entire 12 hour shift with no conflict and even a few well wishes. And to think i was sending myself into a panic on the drive to work for nothing.

Congrats Kayla!  It's an amazing feeling when you come to the realization that you can just be yourself at work.  I have been into my office a couple of times as myself, but today is my official coming to work full time day.

First day on the job as Jessie full time!  News crew was here to document my transition and move into our new office building.  They interviewed my supervisor and another co-worker who has known me for a long time.  I found out they are going to be interviewing the elected official we work for later this week.  I will be doing a sit down interview this weekend.

My fiancee sent me flowers.  I love her!!

Jessie that's great I'm so happy for you! And those flowers are so pretty!

Well I took a huge step today. Went out in public this afternoon as "me" Went to a WalMart supercenter which was super busy and it was actually just fine. No one even looked at me twice. The only thing that was different for me is I'm not used to getting cut off when I'm shopping. But guys today had no problem rushing in front of me. Only bad thing was my shoes became painful after fifteen minutes and by the time I got home could barely walk.

I was walking with my wife in our neighborhood and had a t-shirt on which meant my curves were easily visible.  This was the first time I hadn't worn multiple layers to try and keep things quiet since I still have to have The Talk with my kids.  Since The Talk is coming up this Saturday I am trying to reduce the shock value by hiding less around the house, hence the t-shirt. 
So as we are walking we see a neighbor up ahead and I naturally felt some fear and such.  I asked my darling wife if perhaps we should cross to the other side of the street where it was shadier and I had a chance, slim albeit if somebody looked at me, of nothing happening.  She looked at me and said simply, "Either piss or get off the pot."  Coarse as it was it made me smile.  Into the fray as it were and we went up the street. 
Naturally the woman barely looked up from her gardening as she still chatted away like a m->-bleeped-<-ie to us.  It wasn't noticed or cared about. 
The happy for me here was the pseudo encouragement I got, the ambivalence of the neighbor and the hopeful anticipation that I'll be going full time soon. 

Congrats also to Jessie.  Good luck with the interview.

Shoes Raven are a big deal to being happy.  If your feet are upset then you just won't have as much fun. Let me encourage you to get some Keds.  They are cute too.

That's great CrysC!

As for the shoes think part of that was walking weird. My right leg is completely fine, oh well I was going to the mall tomorrow anyway. You are right Keds are cute might pick up a pair.

Got home from work to find my state issued drivers license photo ID had finally arrived. I now have my picture ID that lists me as F in the sex field  ;D  I am one happy girl to have had the day I've had.

I've just heard from the PHO (Public Health Organisation) for the district where I live that they've found a therapist for me who will be able to work with me on my issues with being a DES child.  I should be able to get an appointment in around three weeks or so.

I feel so happy when I wake up now and see the changes that wonderful E has done.
I have to pinch myself sometimes as it feels like a dream.

Looking in the mirror I am starting to love what I see.
Not giving it back ever.

This is a long way from how I used to feel.

Going to start increasing the E back to the level I was on as my endo is happy for me to vary within limits depending on how I feel as I had cut right back.
So long and thanks for all the fish

I had a lovely weekend with my boyfriend of 8 months. We went to his family for the weekend for his grandmothers birthday. His extended family, who some I met for the first time this weekend. I felt very welcome and me and his grandmother really got on. I felt like I belong.. I know I will spend the rest of my life with him..

I discovered his mother is a closet smoker, i will keep her secret.. I even shared a smoke with her.
Enjoying ride the hormones are giving me... finally becoming the woman I always knew I was

That is such happy news. That you for sharing GF. I'm healing up from some serious plastic surgery & so hope to find a new man to date later this summer. Several nice men are courting me from dating sites however most all live so far away, darn.
