I've been really lazy with my morning workouts.  I finally got off my butt and get back to my routine again, and it felt wonderful.  Plus it allows me to rock my favorite tank top

I work in NYC, and today after work I went to a group at the LGBT center and it made me feel so calm and so visible and so accepted even though I never say anything. It made feel connected and not alone with this. I imagine it is unlikely that someone from the group is reading this, but I can't thank you enough for allowing me to be part of this group. If anyone needs something like this in NYC, I'd recommend going. First Wednesday of the month.


Dori.

Way to go Miss Raven!!  Welcome to the 2015 E Class. Now just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Had my first endo appointment this afternoon. She was great and very understanding and did not act like a gatekeeper. She even thought I was already on HRT. She went ahead and gave me a prescription for estradiol. From my research it's a larger dose then usual for starting.

I was surprised she didn't pit me on spironolactone first. But she said she usually doesn't prescribe spiro and likes finasteride better. And she will add that during my next appointment in January. So now blood draw tomorrow then she said I'm good to go.

If many of you girls love men there is a dating site called "7 or better". Only men with 7 inches or more are allowed. There are some really handsome well endowed men there. Such studs & all seem so horny for a woman. Not many cis women are bold enough to respond so all the men are really hungry for a relationship, sex. Good luck girl friends. As they say you have to kiss some frogs before you find a prince & a real man that will treat you like a lady. There are lots of men searching for a lady.

That is awesome Raven!  The world just grew a little

Had my first Endo appointment on the 20th of last month and it was the same experience, she is accepting and after some discussion, intent and understanding was established...scripts issued.  Your Endo has a method and should answer any questions you might have about the 'why' of how they approach HRT.

As to what made me happy today?  Being a glutton for punishment...the girls are sore and that made me happy

Today I passed and I don't know how.

I'll preface by saying I have some ideas. A few days ago someone I came out to told me that my voice was already in the gender ambiguous range and I speak and annunciate in a feminine fashion. Another told me that my physical mannerisms, how I stand and hold myself, were not masculine but not "camp" either.

I was walking my Nana's dog Penny, around the retirement village, when we ran into a new person also walking a little dog.
A little old lady walking with the aid of a stick, bent with age and as I would learn later limited vision.
Penny went to greet the woman and her dog and I did so too.
We got to talking about this and that and that she thought she recognised my dog. I told her about how my granddad used to walk her, this jogged her memory and she asked after him so I told her about his passing and how I had come up to help out.
The next thing she said surprised me: "Aren't you a good girl, looking after your Nan."
I was dressed in man-mode and had been thinking I was light years from passing in any sense. I thanked her for her compliment, not knowing what else to do and we walked together for a time talking, which is when she mentioned having limited vision.

So that's my first moment of passing. Now if only I could make my body match the rest of me... Or blind everyone! But I think I'd get in trouble for that.

Hugs,
Sarah

Wow. Um. ::blush::

Katelyn, Why blush? Most any woman enjoys being with a man. I'm a hetrosexual woman & always have been. Take care.

Went shopping for some new tops and got some skirts for the first time!

The best part of this is my mum seemed to enjoy seeing what I took home and even gave some fashion advice. It makes me realise she is starting to accept it which makes me warm inside.

Also I might be getting a new job soon. I have been doing some learning at a local centre and they offered me work experience! If all goes well I might get a permanent role there.

Such a great day today I could sing 

I was "excuse me darling"'d, whilst in boy mode. Which is promising. On the other side, the Dr messed up my appointment so I didn't get my triptorelin injection 

I know this is an oxymoron.  I just returned from 2 hrs. of electrolysis (Arggh) How could one be happy about that.  Upper lip clean and cleared.  No more moustache!

I went shopping today dressed very nice & passable as any cis woman would look, better than most really. After 2 years of HRT & plastic surgery for liposuction & a tummy tuck I have an hourglass figure. However for my butt to look nice I wore my 4 padded girdle to add some shape in tight jeans. Oh me I so wish my bull would fill in. My breasts are so nice however my butt is just too flat. I may have my plastic surgeon do something. I know he can do it. He has helped me so much to have a nice female shape. I'd be a happy girl with a normal nice bull to show off.

had my first Laser test patch for my beard removal today...went off perfectly, can hardly even see any redness on the test patch and certainly no discomfort, Having it done was far less pain full than I first thought it might be, however I suspect having a test patch as opposed to a full face and neck treatment is a bit easier to take. But even so I found a couple of my pain management techniques worked really well and I hardly noticed it at all...I feel like I have finally started in a small way the physical part of my transition.

It just feels good to be a woman. My body is finally looking somewhat normal & I'm doing a happy dance. Good luck fellow ladies. Please enjoy being yourself, a woman.

Today I got a call from my friend's girlfriend, wanting to go clothes shopping and do makeovers! Totally out of the blue and I've never visited them other than in guy mode. She happened across some old Halloween pictures, and offered to help me pick a Halloween costume via text (they live 2500 miles away). Now she wants me to come visit, dressed to thrill. She really likes my style, and called me her Bestie! It made me feel amazing!!

My voice practicing goes well. Yesterday and today I was using it full day with services and all. I got back to cursing while keeping the high pitch. Also making jokes about stuff that is going on while pretending to be on call. That is me. Actual me. I was feeling so chained while voiceless outdoors. Not anymore.

But other than the voice, this day was a disaster.

My endo's office called yesterday just to see how I was doing, and also that my blood work came back great. So I went ahead and asked if I could jump on spiro as well since everything was all clear. My endo called back about thirty minutes later and told if I really wanted to it was fine with her. So in about an hour I had my first prescription ready for me its the starting dose from what I've researched.

Anyway today is day three on estradiol I made a post about this yesterday before the crash that I thought I had some minor changes already but it might be just placebo. But this morning I feel different just a lot more calm and relaxed. Usually on my first day of work I'm worried about the mess I'll walk into but not this morning. It might be placebo but even if it is I love it. And if its the estradiol I really love it!

I took an inventory of my self, of how far Ive come, who I am,and where  I am going. Spending almost all my life being buried , and miserable is now in my rear view. I am happy with the direction my life has finally taken. For the most part of my life ,being trans was my dirty little secret. Now I can be in public as my true self with out shame.  I now am  out to all those important to me, My next hurdle is at my employment.  I am grateful to the few trans friends and allies that I have. Also to Susan and all the girls here. Without this site alot of girls would still be suffering , or worse.  I also thank Susan's Place For letting me post here in  that my typing skills have greatly improved over the years.  I wont win any awards but I can do a lilmore than a short paragraph now.  Life will offer its ups and downs,and ->-bleeped-<- on me . I believe that transition has made me stronger to handle some of that.(but not the bad hormonal days lol). For the most part life is good.

   

Yesterday I set my consultation up for FFS. I also got an outfit and handbag in the mail from my mother. The best part is feeling her support and excitement for having a daughter. (:

Last night I went out for a girls night with my cousin and sister in law. It was awesome!  To be called ma'am, ladies, was so good to hear.  I noticed a few looks early on, but once we started talking, everything else fell by the wayside. I wasn't even self conscious about my voice. Well, not very often. [emoji39]
