I decided a few months ago that I'd never wear pants willingly. But after watching a how to dress video last night I got the urge to wear jeans and just a plain v neck. Wow I love the look and feel to say the least and don't have to worry about keeping my modesty like when I wear skirts.

Yeah, with proper tucking pants should be just fine. Women's pants of course.

About me, on my way to dentist, I passed near a store that had small watermelons, imported from Brazil.
Got one. May be a feast for me today.

I'm so below average that I already don't have much to tuck. I can already almost get by wearing leggings without doing anything. Once I'm on hrt I imagine I won't have much to speak off.

Even the straightest of jeans looks curvy on me now. When you get on HRT you're gonna love it.

I ran 4.51 miles today, then when buying a bottle of Vodka at a store the clerk carded me.  Now I know the store must have a policy of carding everyone but it still gave me a little bit of laugh to have to show my ID to get some vodka.

I'm legally Sophie now! Filed the name change this afternoon.

I challenge you to a duel! Winner gets the name 

To avoid confusion you can use my username spelling to refer to me it's fine!

Seriously though thanks guys :3 I'm in the process of alerting my bank and such now, it feels great!

Congrats girl!  It feels great doesn't it!!  Good luck with all work that comes with making all the changes at all of institutions that have records in that old name.  It takes a while but it is sooo worth it.  Hugs.

It has been a very good last few days for me. On Thursday, I had my endo appointment, hormone levels very very good, ad my E was doubled.We discussed timeline for Gender Affirming Surgery and name and gender change application in the spring. Yesterday, as we are heading south for our winter vacation, just under 6 moths long, I passed everywhere. I was wearing my new wig, nice top and jeans, and sandals. I, for the first time, was able to use the women's restrooms. It was really something when my wife and I both went in at the same time!

Work updated my name, gender and ID picture today.

Well, I got 2 out of 3. The ID picture looks terrible!!! But still genders female in how-old.net.

Oh well!!!

I'm officially 5 days into being on Prozac, haha!  As the daily drone of persistent anxiety slides away, I find myself finally looking forward to making all of these changes in my life instead of dreading them.  Today antidepressants, tomorrow hormone replacement therapy!  Figuratively speaking, that is.  I have no idea when I'll get on HRT.

Handbags at dawn, could be dangerous to spectators though.

Congrats on being way a head of me though, it'll be a while before i take on the bank with name changes, i have over a hundred pounds worth of driving licence changes before that because i have A vocational licence i have to replace three parts, plus training certs.

So today was a real big day for me. 
I came out fully at work.  In two separate meetings I told two different groups I work with.  I also sent out mail to multiple groups.  On top of this I announced everything in FB.
I'm out.
I'm really out.  My first day full time at work is November 3.  I gave folks a week and a half to get their head around this.

What blows me away is the outpouring of support.  Nothing negative so far.  It's so incredibly humbling it's hard to describe.

So today is really like my birthday again and I'm happy as heck.

oh yea, serious congrats Sofie, both Sofie's  :-) 

Grats on being out at work, its a fantastic feeling, especily when people are better about it than you though.

For myself the last week has been good, great even. Better than any I can remember in a long time, that is aside from getting very frustrated about how hard finding clothing is. which would not be a issue if it was not late october and my warmest clothing consists of a knee lenght skirt and a t-shirt. Might be the stress of needing it now that is really driving things up. But aside from that ongoing battle things have been good and as far as I can see all it took was adding a little Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust to the mix.

I finally worked up the courage to get my ears pierced last night. Its weird I've been putting it off worried about it hurting even if everyone says its just a pinch. But I finally decided it was time and got it done at my work last night. The two ladies at the counter kind of debated for a minute who should do it as I am supervisor and they didn't want to mess up.

Anyway the nice lady who did it was awesome and they came out great. It was just a really weird feeling getting a hole punched in my ear. They kind of hurt for a few minutes but after awhile nothing. Now I have to keep them in for six weeks and religiously take care of them during that time.
