Hi!  My second time in public as "me" and I walked around a festival with hundreds of people. Nobody seemed to take much notice. I love being a girl. I am living my dream!!!

It is nice to be out and about dress as we please. That why I love San Jose and San Francisco, and I could dress up to go out and no one said a words.

This morning at work I had a loud discussion with one of my girls, she's a bit hard of hearing, and realized that my voice was on point the whole time. Later a customer called to me for help, "miss?", but started to apologize when I turned. The voice thing helped me screw my courage up and I said, " actually, you were right the first time", and smiled at her. She smiled back and addressed me as "miss" several more times as we ran into each other in the store!
April 22, 2015, the day of my first face to face pass in gender neutral clothes and no makeup. It may be months to the next one, but I'm good with that!

Being transgender is just a phase. It hardly ever starts before conception and always ends promptly at death.

Realized a source of anxiety, and my wife helped me work through it.

Always had a strong negative emotional response to cooking--still do--but today she remembered to give me a few minutes "to get everybody on board" before making a couple of dips for The Big Game today. We went into the kitchen, and as she was gently telling me to "grate this, sprinkle that, etc" I realized my anxiety was based on a fear of her getting impatient and shoving me out of the kitchen...

Don't know when that happened in my life, but I have always dreaded the kitchen because of that. I didn't know this until today. She was so patient with me, such a quiet and encouraging voice, it was actually enjoyable to make guacamole dip and the cheesy potato side.

This was HUGE for me, and I'm still happy and glowing inside because of it.

...I think for most of us it is a futile effort to try and put this genie back in the bottle once she has tasted freedom...

I'm sure happy not to give a hoot about football, I'd rather do my nails, do some cooking or make a dress if I still sewed. Appt. tomorrow with my plastic surgeon for a dental block shot, then to my electrolysis lady for a 2 hour session to maybe clean off my upper lip. Happy dance when all that nasty hair is gone.

I lived on a sailboat for 4-5 years some 6-7 years ago. It was pretty cool but now I sure love my farm with land to grow roses, flowers & even a big garden. My own private place.   My new electrolysis lady is just great, she really likes me & looks forward to being friends for years as I complete my GRS & all other things to finally become an attractive sexy woman. She is age 66 however does not look a day over 50. I'm letting her do whatever she thinks on my face. Soon I'll let her do some permanent makeup, eye liner & maybe lip liner work. I have a pretty, soft feminine face so life is good for me. Next appt. for Wed. We do 2 hour sessions which is about right. Happy dance for me.

I take riding lessons, English Saddle. While I was in the tack room, a little girl, about 10 or 11, came up to me, looked me right in the eyes and said " I love your hair!". I was so happy :) She made my Weekend!

What made me happy today was getting my first electrolysis session.  God was it painful!!!  But what made it endurable was my electrolysist, Katie. She made me feel welcomed.  And, since she had previously undergone electrolysis we were able to empathize with each other.  That's what made me happy today-- to be just 'another' girl.  See, that's were I wanna be.  Not in the spotlight.  God NO!!  But a transwoman who's got something to say.  So I felt respected today as well.  And in those immortal words by that darn Canadian, Shenia Twain, 'Man, I Feel Like a Woman.'  Much Love, Stephanie Garrett
Don't really know what to write here...  So I'll just write a little about myself.  For conciseness, I am a 48 y/o pre-op transsexual who's in a wheelchair.  I'm wheelchair bound due to AVN(avascular necrosis) which took three and a half inches from my right femur and I acquired due to HIV.  I got infected by the first man I was ever with.  So, after spending 40+ years in Texas and getting three felonies, I decided to move to San Francisco.
  I got here in 2010 and continued to drug myself until something happened...  I don't remember exactly what happened, but I do know I did something to ease my pain, which didn't help and I ended up in the ER.  After that, mind you I could still walk, barely, I was diagnosed with avascular necrosis.  Immediately I was sent to a hospital in really bad shape.  I was addicted to a copious amount of drugs and weighed less than 90lbs.  I was near death.  I spent two and a half years in hospital, quit drugs, got my own place and am doing quite well.

For the first time I saw my breasts as, well, breasts. It was the way my shirt was fitting, the way the shadows were working, and the bit the hormones have done so far... they looked like breasts.

It was pretty awesome.

My new electrolysis lady is doing a great job. My face looks nicer & nicer. We are going to do some permanent eye liner soon. She gave me a 30 bottle collection of her older polish, one was Christian Dior, simple pink. Great polish. She has 3-4 clients that have completed their GRS & enjoying happy complete lives. I'm so glad to find her & join her friends. 2 are happily married very happy women. I'm not sure if I ever want to get married however I sure enjoy a nice man , we'll see. Happy dance for being a hetrosexual nice attractive woman.

I scheduled a consult with my preferred surgon for SRS. I will be evaluated at the end of the month and I will find out what dates are available for the June/July time period. Then the fun of working with my insurance company begins.
