Mine is to finally build a social life and not basing so much of my self worth on what other people think of me.

QuoteIn 1995, I resolved to never resolve.

I cannot tell if you've already failed or succeeded

By making the resolution before the new year, I neatly avoided the paradox.  I've held it ever since though!

• Work on my voice
• Find the right surgeon for my FFS

Start Therapy and proceed with the rest of my life
Convince my wife this is something I need to move forward with and keeping it inside just between the two of us is tearing me up.  I hope to stay married and that she will move forward with me, but I am prepared to lose it all.  I am 50 this year and the past 40 have been hell.   I wish I would have had the nerve in the early 80's while in high school to be truthful to those around me.  I was caught several times and my parents sent me to a therapist, and I did not have the balls to say I did not want to have balls and would have been much happier with breasts.

don't dwell on blaming yourself. I wish I could of told people, but I had a secret and was too afraid to talk about it. I took me 60 years to admit it. I had a lot of therapy in my life , but my little secret wouldn't budge from its hiding place until the road was no more.

So you ARE getting back into a band!

Get fitter and trimmer in prep for T. And what comes after.

I guess that's more of a mandatory than a resolution... my therapist is saying so anyways.

Move out of were I live in MA and into my new house In Tamworth NH

Not resolutions but what is ahead this year so far:

Divorce and rebuilding after divorce,
Part of a workshop at the PTHC
volunteering with the kids at the PTHC,
clearings for gcs (6)
BA & GCS
consult with DR. Spiegel.

Resolution
Go to the beach.

-Start HRT this month
-Start electrolysis
-Move away from my transphobic mother
-Be more social in college as the real me

Hopefully I'll be able to reorganize my life such as getting getting a job that's both easy and I'm actually good at, get out of my current living situation (As much as I don't want to it needs to be done), and hopefully start HRT.

 

Hi All

I wish for all of us to have a very good year as we have became very noticed in the public eyes and we need to get respect from everyone.

Vive la révolution transgenre

Mine was to try hard to lose weight around tummy and slim the waist as much as possible.

In order of priority:

-accept and try to like myself, not just the description of being trans
-start HRT (3 weeks and counting)
-meet with the local group
-get a wig that works for me
-get some fully female outfits(wearing only undies and pants all the time right now, sorry TMI)
-make my first and second and ... public appearance
-continue electrolysis
-continue therapy
-come out to more family and friends

Considering the hours I work during my busy time of the year, it's hard to believe I can do any of that. However, considering where I was  year ago, who knows.

Hope you all have an inspiring, creative, positive year and I hope to be able to communicate with many of you.

With warmth,

Joanna

PS  Jenny and Susan, good luck. I will miss your insights and I bet I am not the only one.

Jill,

If I can give you any of my weight, let me know. However, I'm keeping my drinking;) And send links to your "new band's" files.

Nothing really trans related for resolutions. Only thing I promised to myself for this year is that I'm going to spend a month on Oahu.

Not really trans specific, but this is what I posted on FB:

My primary resolution for 2016: Never surrender, never accept that final defeat that says you will never accomplish your dreams.

I will accept failure because failures are merely lessons learned on the path to success. If the tower comes crashing down then I will rebuild my life even better than before.

I will rid myself of procrastination in despair over what seems insurmountable, that fear of not being good enough, not being capable, or not knowing where to begin is only illusion. Any obstacle may be overcome with a combination of direction, perspective, intention and a willpower to break through.

I will accept fate when it comes, but I will continually shape my destiny as I am a divine conscious being. And all divine conscious beings may through the power of intention alchemized into desired results shape the future of what they want to become.

I will maintain my true compass, my connection to my higher self that is love for myself and all my fellow beings. And with this compass I will continually check my course, that I am aligned with the direction of my true dream, a dream that is not only love for myself, but love for all.

Which is why I know I will never surrender, because while my love is deeply compassionate, my love is also fierce in purpose. It is a light that will never be consumed because there is an infinite supply of it available to all. And I will always have access to that source, because I know that the source of my being at all levels, in all forms, and in all realities is that divine love. ♥♥♥

Sorry everyone

New Hampshire is The Best.
