Small Victories

Not sure if you can consider it a victory but I just bought my first container of pomade ^_^.
According to my friend it should work better than the gel I've been struggling with.

 

Hold me tight! I came out to my boyfriend! He's completely fine with me being a dude. I'm crying out of happiness! Yeeeeeeeah!

That's a big victory actually.

 

thanks sis.:icon_bigg

 

Small victories, right? I insisted on playing a female character in a real life role play game campaign (like dungeons and dragons). That means playing a female in front of my male friends... and that felt good.

 

Just got back from my meeting with the second of four contacts in the gender identity team and I have a time for an appointment with the third. I also managed to help my ex partner with his own journey that is painfully stagnant due to no fault of his own, so I feel good about that.

 

For a long time I've just been using the unisex bathrooms or (very reluctantly) women's at university... but last week I started using the mens

I've only done it when I'm on campus late, so there's minimal chance of anyone else being in there. But if I do end up running across somebody, I think (hope) I look ambiguous enough that they brush me off as a particularly girly-looking freshman..

 

Went to therapist, first time. Pros: finally started doing real life steps forward. Cons: I need to stay patient... lol, I wish I could just get it all past me in one visit!

 

I know that feel.

 

Explaining this victory is probably a lot more trouble than it's worth, but bear with me XD
At school I was on the field with my girlfriend and put a couple of daisies in my mouth, because I'm an idiot. Some other people made daisy chains, and because I'm in an 'all girls school' (ahem) when we all came back in the teacher said 'I know it's summer when the girls come in wearing daisy chains'. And my girlfriend said to me, 'I know it's summer when the boys eat daisy chains'. I know that just sounds weird but it was so nice to hear her call me a boy

 

It doesn't sound weird. That's a cool victory.

I tried to make daisy chains in primary school a couple of times each summer, always ended up to picking them. But it definitely means summer. Oh, summer... I need new clothes. And I can buy new clothes. :eusa_danc

 

Oh yeah... I've got those feels too.

 

Thanks dude Enjoy buying cool new clothes!

 

I wore different shoes to school today instead of my usual ones and I felt so confident! Every time I looked down I just thought that my shoes were so masculine. Also the other day I tucked my hair up into my cap and my shadow looked so masculine that I felt like squealing!

 

I still felt like squealing and anyway I'm not a dude; I'm me and I can squeal if I want to

 

Congrats I love tucking my hair into hats too

 

Good news: Made my appointment for my GP to start hormones. Bad news: earliest appt available is June 20th.
