So, I wasn't really planning on going full-time until the end of summer, but I just got out of my one summer class last Thursday and since that afternoon I haven't gone back to boy mode at all.  Mostly, this just happened because I went to DC Pride this weekend, so I was comfortable being me for two days, but now I don't really wanna go back! In fact, I really don't feel like I CAN properly go back.  I finally feel like I'm passing, I was called MISS at Potbelly on Saturday, was assigned to the correct bathroom by the security guard later that night, was completely respected and treated as a girl throughout the day and EVERYONE has made comments on how good my voice is beginning to sound. Plus, I painted my nails for this weekend and I REALLY feel like it would be a shame to remove the polish this soon.  The world just feels so wonderful and new and I just can't bring myself to stop feeling so wonderful about EVERYTHING.  Hell, simple things like riding the metro and ordering food just felt like brand new adventures to me.  So I really can't see myself ever going back now.  The last couple of days have been too perfect for that.  I just can't bring myself to go back to living a lie and I feel so FREE now.  It's definitely time and I'm loving it.

Congrats!!! Emily that is really great news   

That is awesome.
Congrats.

That's great Emily.  Have fun being you. 

It's truly a great and liberating feeling when you can finally just be yourself isn't it? HUGS, I'm happy for you!

Congratulations!!   And who needs the end of summer anyway?  Get out there and enjoy being free while you can truly get out there and be free!

Congratz! I know the feeling. Once you get used to being YOU for a period of time....its so hard to go back. I changed my full time date from April 2010 to Feb 2010 because of that. Thankfully work was willing to work with me =)

Hey, once the nail polish is on, it's pretty much a done deal, isn't it?   

     Congrats, girl.  Its great to finally be who you should have been all along, but you know that, now.

     Enjoy your Summer.

congrats! i can understand how you feel exactly.

i was switching between boy and girl mode, boy in class and girl outside school. i had intended to go full-time after my freshman year, but after i came out to some of my girl friends as a girl over halloween, i had positive responses and knew there was no way i would be wearing boy clothes again after that night. the following lecture i wore my wig and went to school as a girl, and never looked back. it was another two weeks before i started hrt though.

Great for you!, do not even look back, just enjoy being yourself 100%

Good for you!  Removing the stress of changing back and forth, and maybe being caught, out will feel like a great weight has been lifted from your shoulders. Have fun sis.
