I have to go to a formal dinner tonight in drab mode.  I'm wearing black boots in the outfit, and decided to wear those boots to work along with my skinny jeans.  I saw my legs and feet in the mirror and thought to myself,so femme this is a little too girly for work, then thought screw it, my legs look awesome

My fifth laser hair appointment was today.  The doctor realized there is almost nothing left to zap!  Happy!

My voice therapist said I've made incredible progress in only three months.

I still think I sound ridiculous to myself though. 

My sister called me today just as I was getting to work.  I am officially an Aunt today*.....well again.  Her twins were born this morning.  They are in neonatal intensive care, born a couple months early, but okay.

*I became an aunt when I began transitioning, but was an uncle previously.


Went to work today as Claire.  Only one person misgendered me today.  He is not a transfriendly person to begin with.

May have made a new friend, sent her here.  She was very pleasant, and wants to hang out with me.  She "wants to support her peeps".

Everyone was so supportive today, one girl said that I was taking my voice to high, and another said that I am mostly good with my speech, just a few hiccups while talking.  They all said that with my makeup on they wouldn't have second guessed me.

Had a couple ladies at the Meijer store near where I'm staying talk to me like I was just one of the girls.  Then I had a voice hiccup, and they moved on fairly quickly.

All in all, a wonderful day out as me.

I made a double appointment with a psychologist/gender therapist and went clothes shopping with my mother

I changed my name on Facebook to Claire.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I'm so excited!

Almost forgot, because...babies, but today was the first day I looked in the mirror and saw nothing but woman.  Still needed that shave, but no man in my eyes after the beard was cut off.

That's really great Artemis.  I only see man right now, but I did do something today that made me happy.  A while ago, I bought some ladies Dr Martin's and posted them here.  After a week or two, they weren't as snug.  So I decided to go to the store and try on the size smaller.  They fit snug, but good.  I bet in a couple weeks they will be perfect.  So in my mind now, I wear a women's size 9 shoe, makes me happy even though it's prob only this style.  I used to wear size 9 boot men's and size 9 men's shoe.  I know people say hrt doesn't make your feet smaller, but I'll take it no matter how I get it!

A few months ago Randi told me she wasn't sure that she wanted m to go to our niece's wedding with her. I was upset but I let it go.

Today it came up for some reason, I don't recall why. She asked, "you're going aren't you?" I reminded her that she hadn't wanted me to go. She said it wasn't that, just that she wasn't sure I should. So now I'm invited!

I suppose a month from now I could be posting in the other thread, but for now I'm ecstatic! But I have nothing to wear!

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!

Think outside the voice box!

My E.V. dose was upped on Friday. Hope this brings levels into optimal range!

I am feeling even better now.  I've been elevated to the status of Godess.   Even better it is the Greek Godess of the hunt, and my favorite Godess. 

Don't worry, being a deity won't go to my head.



Probably an auto correct or just plain habit.  But the thoughts were fun anyway.

Nice!!!!... Congrats Sarah!... Are you going to an Oktober Fest? !!!!

The girlfriend and I had a girl's day out. I got my ears pierced, got a pedicure and got Thai for dinner. The pedicure lady was chatting with me about PMS and how easy guys have it, so I guess I did ok at passing.

My wife was talking on the phone with a friend of hers (who knows I'm trans).  As I was walking through the room, I heard her referring to me with the proper name and pronouns - and there's no way she could have know I would be walking through right then.  As validating as it is for her to use the right name and pronouns when talking to me, it's ten times so when she does it when she doesn't know I will hear.

I have two on my Calendar :-)
