....when a friend makes a jape involving one's genitals freezing solid and falling off, and you wish that it would actually happen to you.



There is a better tomorrow.

When Facebook family relations that say sister, brother, niece or nephew mean a lot to you and not just because family.

When your primary consideration for clothes is not,"will this make me look fat?" It is," will I pass in this?"

... you have morning sickness and you are not pregnant.


Well ... my comment gets this set-up:

My endocrinologist first prescribed DES as six 1 mg tablets each morning.  Sometimes I got 'morning sickness'.  When / where I was still presenting as male, I could not / did not explain why.  Once I transitioned to female, my female co-workers recognised my symptoms and asked me when I was due - thinking I was pregnant, their sentiments unknowingly encouraging me to feel even more female than I could ever imagine.

Those co-workers did not find out because I was working temp assignments that lasted maybe a couple months or so - never enough time to 'show'. 

Added to the morning sickness, those symptom must have cued my brain because I frequently experienced night-time dreams of being pregnant on days when I had morning sickness..

When a cisfemale asks you how men think and you reply, no idea, and mean it.

Remembering when I would steal my sisters clothes and dress and the day my sister caught me and said I knew you were a girl and stop stealing her new clothes but could have what she didn't wear anymore. I also love the fact she never stopped encouraging me not to be afraid.

...and the realisation that you really have no idea - that they might as well belong to a different species - makes you feel happy. And sad. But mostly happy.

When you hear a group of female coworkers or even other women talking about nail polish,  tricks, how long it takes, that they peel off too easily and
1) you want to join the discussion but you're not out yet
2) you know exactly what they mean because you do it too.

... every first date with a cisgender male involves a moment where your surgical history is discussed.
Have you read my short story The Eve of Triumph?

Before you've come out to your wife, she pokes you in the ribs and says "I saw you looking at her."

You answer, "But honey, I was just checking out her heels," and mean it.

You're still in trouble either way.

When a mtf goes into an endo dressed as a guy and doctor says "you have low testosterone." and your response is "yea".


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.

you browse susans.org daily and are giddy about little things like, being on HRT for 6 months or posting a new picture you have taken out of 10 or 20 to finally show off who you are inside.

When you are able to say "yes im a girl" for the first time to someone without feeling shame or guilt from your fears.

Words can't bring me down

When you see a good looking and well dressed lady, and the only thing you think is

"I wonder where she got that dress"

I'm not sure how many times that has gone through my head.
So true I think that to allot
