Last Night just before I went to my families christmas party my mother came to me and gave me a early present, new earrings in my birth stone, I love them and the thought that went into them. I transisioned 6 months ago and this was my first christmas as serena. which also meant that party was the first time I saw my cousins, aunts and uncles in one places sense I came out. What I expected and sorta feared happend at the party, I walked in, was happily greeted my mother misgendered me once and my aunt misnamed me once, but everyone was otherwise very good about it and no one asked any questions or said anything about it. In short the fact that I am presenting as female was not a subject at all. That part sorta bothers me, I sorta wish we could just have a Q&A session, get it all out there and not dance around things avoiding the subject, but still nothing negitive really at all.
I always wonder how often people I know talk about my transision when I am not around. I know it happens people ask friends of mine about me and such with some regularity but never seem to talk to me in person. I mean Its nice that they don't make a huge deal about it, it would just be nice if people would just talk to me about it so I don't keep worrying about when/if they will ask me about it.
ok not totally a what made me happy today but definatly a good day.
