My licence came out horrible as well.

I got my name changed at work. So when I swipe in its says welcome Raven. And if anyone looks it up in the system it's Raven.

I can claim a pension from a previous job, the life of a retired lady looks great!

Congrats on getting the license. I'm sorry that the pix didn't turn out good. Just concentrate on the positives.  For me it's the fact that I like nothing better than knowing that anytime someone asks to see my license that there is an F next to sex line. It makes me so happy that I really don't care what the picture looks like.

My drain (AKA the bane of my existence) was removed today, and I got out for some fresh air and a little exercise. I'm definitely making progress.

Great to hear girl.  Get better soon!

It will just keep getting better and better as each company, business or agency gets their records updated to reflect the new you!!

I posted this in the other thread, but I'll just share the excitement here too:

I saw my therapist for the first time today. I'm so excited I could explode. He's already ready to write me a letter for HRT and I can start it whenever I'm able to afford it!

He even suggested a few places I could work locally that cover everything - it turns out Starbucks and Capital One are great places to work if you're transgender.

Tomorrow morning I officially start HRT.  Shave my butt and slap on those patches!

Today I got my ears pierced. So far so good, will be following instructions, hope for the best, and get pretty earrings end October.

flew home from Chicago today; when I was checking in at O'Hare for wheelchair assistance, I was offered a seat on an earlier flight (2 hours earlier), so by the time I got to my gate the plane was already boarding.
It is so awesome being back home with my husband and our fur-babies. 

Got a nice surprise in the in the mail my new social security card! Surprised how fast it came only four business days. Now just waiting on my drivers license. Really hope I get it today because I might go to the zoo tomorrow and if I have my state drivers license I get a discount.

Yay Raven, everything is coming together for you!

It feels so good being back home; totally safe and secure, which allowed me to get a full nights sleep for the first time in several days.

When I changed my gender marker on my DL, the pic came out meh because NJ doesn't want you to smile.

However it's OKish, and I am afraid it will come out worse so when I do my name change in October at NJMVC I may just opt for the old pic.

However they let you see the pic before it goes in and let you re-take it.

Considering my upcoming birthday and trip that I'm taking my mom on I thought It would be nice for us to get manicures together. We thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity.

Saw my doctor today which is always fun, got my new debit card too which is fantastic, people rarely need to see your license but your debit card you hand to everyone. I also had a guy say to me "you look like betty boo" I thanked him and his wife scolded him and I heard him defending himself as they walked away saying "but she looks like betty boo!" so that sorta made my day.

When I did mine at the NJMVC I couldn't keep from smiling because I was so happy to get my name and gender changed. They were super nice about it and I think they took about 8 pictures and there was hardly any customers there, so there was no rush. The picture was taken at 6 1/2 month HRT and my face has changed since then but it still looks feminine. It's not horrible, but when it comes time to renew, I'm definitely going to have a new pict made.

I'm so glad that you were able to get home and get some sleep.  Rest up girl and don't try to do too much too soon.

Thanks Jessie.

My first month on estrogen

A peaceful place to work today. Pleasant interactions with everyone. The way the air was after a light rain. Horses grazing in the distance. The shade of oak trees and barns. My loving and happy canine sidekick with me. It was a very nice day.
