Small Victories

That is amazing! Congratulations

 

Me and my wife walked in to walmart and the greeter greeted us as "ladies"

 

Omg that is awesome! (*hug*)

 

That's great!

 

I think I am out to all my friends except family!

 

I had three old friends staying at my place for New Year's Eve. I thought I would be hearing my old name for days but they only slipped up a few times. That means that all my old friends officially use the correct name and pronouns and I'm stealth everywhere else. Finally.

 

My friend is acting like a little girl :icon_roll :lol: I guess that's what happens when you come out as a girl for the very first time I'm just really proud of her

 

My father is using the right pronouns like a boss. Name is going to take some time (he was the one who came up with it), but I am so damned proud of the efforts he is making.

A friend/acquaintance told me she would be at my side if I finally decide to come out. Even if I'm aware it's just words, it was very nice to hear it... She said it twice or three times btw...

... Maybe... Maybe I should do this... To finally empty the closet and get on with my (real) life...

 

This was actually a few months ago, but this little kid (they couldn't have been more than about 7 or 8 years old) called me "sir". I was still trying to figure out my gender at the time, but it was an amazing feeling, especially since I wasn't even passing.

 

One of my experiences I felt awesome was the first time I went as the real me. Even though I couldn't walk really in heels. I kind of sort of studding my stuff. I felt great when the bar tender said. "Are you really, okay?" I responded by saying "Yes I'm really okay. By the way I love your mustache." That comment made me really happy. It was because he didn't see my 5 O'clock shadow.

 

I've bought some female tops (finally) and they're soooo comfortable

 

Aww, now I'm all excited for when I get to present as the real me

 

Me and my friends were hearing the Billy Joel song about a piano man or something, and one of my friends jokingly said "yeah, piano man, sing us a song. Piano... Person, human... Piano!" I liked the correction he made :3

PS I play piano that's why the joke

 

so i had 4 days on my own with my son gone to visit his mother for New Years. so, other than work or visiting my parents, i was my female self. i wore my skirts, and tops (need more cute tops) etc. that i bought for myself for Christmas, and i was just me. it was just nice and right. on NYE i got all done up with my knit dress, hose, one of my favourite wigs, and had the tree lit, the fire in the fireplace, a nice glass of wine, watching the festivities in new york, and it hit me that i had the perfect romantic setting and i was all alone...... but i was her. i did eat a bunch of truffle chocolates but that's ok to on NYE. haha.

i am determined to be with people on NYE either as him or her.

 

So your 2016 starts good
Good to hear you had such a nice nye

 

I've stayed with my childhood friend and his family since Wednesday and ghey asked me right off the bat if I wanted them to adress me with my preferred name and pronouns yet and I said yes. So they've been calling me "Alice" and "she" without a single slipup--even their three year old son.

I also made a new years resolution to not be scared of what other people think of me, be they stranger, friend or family. As a result I finally changed my name on Facebook as well as my profile picture.

 

Great news girl!!!! make 2016 your year no matter what others think, it's your life!
Go Girl!
