My transition inspired a coworker to come out.

Wow, very cool, Karyn! My therapist warned me at our first session that like it or not, I'd end up being an educator to my friends, and a role model for those who follow. Looks like you've achieved that exalted status!

PS: I like your name and the way it's spelled. I had actually considered something similar, except starting with a "C" (Caryn).

Our usual mail men handed me todays mail: Here you go ma'am, have a nice weekend! (ok, it was pretty obvious - totally dressed up, skirt heel boots and finally breaking in a b cup push up - A is now at it's limits). Still made me so happy  ;D

I just to casually use my name in public.  The first time was at a sandwich place where they ask your name so they can call it when your food is available.  I gave it to them, even spelled it out.  When it was called, I got really happy.  I'm doing this more often.  I know I'm not presenting, but my name is fairly androgynous.  I think the only time it would raise eyebrows would be from family since they know the history of it.  Come to think if it, that might be a good way to out myself to them, start the conversation.

you know how far the universe extends outward? i think i go inside just as deep.

10/11/18 - out to the whole world.  100% friends and family support.
11/6/17 - came out to sister, best day of my life
9/5/17 - formal diagnosis and stopping DIY in favor if prescribed HRT
6/18/17 - decided to stop fighting the trans beast, back on DIY.
Too many ups and downs, DIY, purges of self inbetween dates.

Went for some routine blood work that was submitted in my boy name and had to show ID for the first time. "Last name" xyz "first name" J*, "uh, are you sure miss?" God bless the nurse at quest.

Uuuhh yeah, that is always a fun discussion... The Lab location my doctor recommended is fantastic. All my HRT related lab slips say "F" on it and it stays through the entire system. I usually chat with the lab techs about nail polish :D

Once I went to a different lab and oh boy... they changed it to M, where rude about it and did not even know how many vials to draw. So, never again.

Don't say that too loudly.  Some nut job will use it to try and quarantine us.

I knew it would feel good to receive an updated passport but I didn't understand by how much... just a booklet of paper but I really feel more permanent.

And I can visit Stephanie now!  Oh wait, Florida is part of the US.

I came home to a random eBay box waiting for me.  Inside was a classic Figment from Journey into Imagination.  I have no idea who sent it, but they made my day!
