I was doing the grocery shopping and standing at the deli counter waiting for my order when an old man walked up behind me to wait.
Another server asked him his order and he said "This young lady was waiting before me."
It felt so awesome being correctly gendered.
I thanked him and said I was already being served, I have felt fantastic the whole day.
Later I stopped in at hair stylists to ask for some advice on how to wear my hair while growing it out so it looked more feminine.
I was told that I shouldn't worry and that it looked great.

I also realised that I've been living full-time for the last few months. It wasn't even a conscious decision, it just happened.

I hope everyone else has had an amazing day.
Hugs,
Sarah

Just received an email from the US State Dept. that they have finally finished processing my new passport and that they had mailed it.  Took them 15 weeks to process.

I should have it in hand on Monday the 4th.

Now I can get my Thai visa.

Hoooray!

That is awesome news Joi!  Congrats and am jealous...a Thai Visa!

Congrats! Such a long wait! So exciting to be able to reach your next goal! Much id paper work in in now and I will be doing the passport thing later this spring.

Hi All

I got up this morning to see my brother Jimmy plowed my driveway. The funny thing is I have not seen him in person for 4 years! He has talked to me on the phone but he said what I have done has freaked him out. He said he can't face me yet. He has been so stealth he does things for me all the time when I'm not around but never comes in.  By the time I get out to see him he's gone. It hurts me but I do know he will someday when he is ready. I pray for the day he will stop and I can see him.

I'm so happy for you. I guess that I was lucky that way as I live near Portsmouth New Hampshire were they do the passports. I just went there and they were so nice and I walked out with my new one the same day. had to give them my old one but they put punch makes threw it and reissued my new one with my new name and gender and picture .

So many things make me happy. It's just so nice to be a woman.......Happy New Years to all Susan's Place friends.

Went to the pharmacy today to pick-up a prescription.  First came, "I'll be right with you ma'am" ... Then came "Can I help you ma'am".  (Nice!)  I gave her my prescription card, clickety-click goes her keyboard and she says "Oh this says Roberto.  (Like my screen name).  That can't be right!  You don't look like a Roberto!"  (Right! ... Love it!)  I said yah, well, that's an old record!  It all just sort of made my day ...

I need to dress more business like because I have a lot of meetings and stuff. But other than that nobody cares.

Happy New Year friends. My new all cotton PJ's from The Vermont Country Store sure feel warm. It's in the low 30's where I live. I had my black eyed peas & collard greens for good fortune, love & good health so 2016 should be a good year. I'd like a tall strong new man for 2016 to enjoy.

It's a new year!

Time for a fresh new beginning. Here's hoping everyone has an amazing 2016

This is a whole new year for me. Last year I began with being presumed male and finished with being presumed female and all those other stages in between. It was the single most difficult and scary year of my life. I faced so many of my biggest fears. I went from a person with zero self confidence to someone who is more like the me I have always wanted to be. At midnight last night I had a huge sense of relief. It was over, I had done it, I survived!

This year, this day, they make me happy because they are the initiation of a lifetime of being recognized as me. My real life builds from this point forward. I am full of hope for my future and joy in my present moments.
