What made me happy today?[emoji848]
- knowing I've started my journey-
-Being able to come here and read the words of wisdom from you fine ladies
- Set up a meeting for today to have a chat with a woman who transitioned at my work recently, so I know what to expect.
It's a good day so far and it's only 6am. [emoji1380]

I'm just catching up on this thread.  I'm excited that there is so much to be happy about.

When I met with THE other out-transgender woman at my company (she has since retired ) she said "it will be the biggest non-event day off your life." She was right.

Only my HR rep and my manager of 10 years stopped by to make sure I was okay.  For everyone else (at least on the outside) no change, I was just Denise.  It took one full well before the first "... And he..." was uttered.  Which to me meant they staying to get comfortable.  I was okay with it.

After 10 months, I'm just one of the girls.

I hope your meeting went well.

I typically go for subtle.  I typically go very light on makeup.  But recently I found a lip color (Revlon ultra HD matte lipcolor) that I like very much.  It just makes the lips more pronounced but not in your face.

Today I saw the color transferred to my drinking glass for the first time.

I have been wearing lipstick for just under three years now and been out full time for fifteen months and I still find smiles and joy whenever I see the color and shape on a glass or perhaps more so, on a coffee cup. I hope that I never tire of it.

I love seeing the lipstick on bottles. What I don't like is that since I have to go a bit heavy to cover beard shadow, it smudges on my phone screen if I have to take a call.

I went to court and did not get evicted.

Dee,

  That is good news for sure. I hope your situation doesn't take too long to get resolved in a manner that is good for you. All I can do is send you some virtual hugs ((hug)) ((hug)) ((hugs))  Hang in there girl.

Hugs,

Today, 1/12/18 at 8:45 am pst, I was gendered correctly for the first time since coming out to myself. I think it was just being polite, but I'll take it.  I was frantically buying nail polish remover pads just before work at a Walgreen's.  The cashier told me have a nice day ma'am.  I couldn't believe it.  I'm not passable yet, but still it made me super happy.

And lots more to come! I was going to say "get used to it" but I'm not sure that's possible.

That is awesome!

Bari Jo, that is wonderful!  Being correctly gendered.  Reading that made my day. 

at the hockey game tonight the guy serving beer called me Ma'am.  I wasn't even trying to present female.    

Nice Becca. It feels good doesn't it?

You too Bari Jo.

Both of you enjoy it. I'm sure it will happen again but when is the question. Let hope it begins to happen more frequently.

Hugs,

Was trying on a top a Target and when  looked at the back I saw a woman's butt in the mirror.  Didn't see that anyone else had snuck in to the fitting room so evidence would point to it being mine.  Still not sure if I believe it though.

Thanks I have bigger boobs than a few cis girls where i work they tell me it is not fair, and that sounds yummy you should share

My wife and I both are trans - so we both freak out when we go out, and we don't typically go out that much.  And we both expect of even more "sir's" when we do.  So we were nervous, but both tried to look our best for a nice meal out together.

In that one meal, I doubled the number of times I've been gendered properly in my life - 3 separate times, by three separate people, we were "you ladies."

It was kind of hard to sit there and act like that was the most natural thing to say to us in the world.  But inside we were both celebrating, and the smile on my wife's face made my day (I suspect mine made hers too).

Fantastic, what an awesome share. Great courage and keep it going. I am jealous as hell.
