I met a new friend through others at a dinner recently. We talked for a while, somewhat about my transition, but other topics too. I mentioned that I'm going to be starting electrolysis and she, surprised, asked "you don't want a beard?" I asked "wait, which way do you think I'm transitioning?" She totally thought I was born female, and I nearly cried on the spot.

OMG, that is fantastic!  What a lovely mistake to make!

Most of my friends have been really stoic about it, but one said:

"Oh, huh. I'm surprised. But I'm sure you'll snazzy with a beard!"

Made me super happy.
kindest regards possible,

I used to have people guess I was transitioning to male. I thought it was peculiar, but funny. With new doctors, I got a different perspective: "Really? You sure don't look like you've ever been male" seems to be along the lines when I inform them. Keep in mind they can see on the documents that I am on Estradiol.

haha thats awesome! as a long term grower of beards (to be more manly) let me say that some beards are uber cool!
The van dyke beard is easy to manage, looks smart and suave too! :)

From my son:

"I feel so lucky to be able to see what this is like up close."

I'm friends with my daughter, so perhaps I can put this here:

I guess I've known you were (male) all along.  Now everything (you do) makes sense."

Gods, I LOVE my kid! [emoji7]

My wife: Whatever you decide to do, I will support you.  It is pretty hard to beat that.  :D

Best friend:
"I can't wait for your to be out of the closet so I can post all the funny ->-bleeped-<- your say about being trans."

"I'm not going to thank you for being trans, but I will thank you for all the girl clothes and makeup."

Mom:

"I just want you to be happy, however and with whoever. That's all I've ever wanted for you."

While having breakfast in a coffee shop with my sister's friend she said "I looked at your <male name> pictures.  When I look at you sitting here now, I don't see a man hiding behind the makeup.  But when I look at those pictures, I definitely see the woman hiding inside".

And this one from my mother on FB Messenger: "Looking good girl. We still need some mother daughter time when you have some (time that is) Love to see that smile on your face."

Up and away and off I go to lose my mind and find my soul.

For me it isn't exactly a singular thing that they said. But one situation still sticks to my mind. My friends had decided to have a big get-together where we ate and fooled around in places. We had a new person in the group. Mind you, he was kind of quiet, listening more than anything. Of course, I was slightly cautious of him, but he didn't seem to be too much of a threat. Then the topic of me transitioning was briefly brought up, one of my friends had asked what would be my first big step to transitioning. Almost right then and there, he perked up. He became really lively after that. We ran around together and he asked so many questions about me. It wasn't really one thing he really said, I just really enjoyed his enthusiasm and curiosity about the subject.

And recently, he was wearing a bracelet he had made, it was the colors of the transgender flag. I thought it was just coincidence until he showed me the bracelet and said, "I wear this for you. And for the people who are also going through what you are experiencing right now."

Not a friend as such, although all of my friends have been lovely about it. A couple of weeks after I started HRT I came out to my PCP. I didn't think I really had a choice. After two years on HRT he said to me "when you told me that you're transgender I was dubious but you're happier now than I've ever seen you!"
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.

They say the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train. I say, climb aboard!

1) I know a lot of people don't like questions about it, but I had a friend of mine like bombard me and ask so many questions and I was so excited! I love talking to other trans people and asking them questions, so when other trans people or cis people ask me questions I get so giddy and excited!

2) THAT IS THE CUTEST THING AND I'M DYING...HE'S TOTALLY GAY FOR YOU ;)
