When i came out as trans to my friend, she came out to me as bi... My first reaction was "YAY we are LGBT besties"
I got called a boy today even after talking to the person and carrying a flowery bag. (Sorry for posting in here every time I get gendered as a guy but it's so new and exciting that I just have to tell somebody!)
It feels amazing haviy supportive friends. Everytime my friends mom refers me as anything related to my birth gender he immediately corrects her or reminds her.it feels awesome that my friends care that much.
My mom still doesn't really get what I'm feeling, but she's cool with me getting a binder! Hooray!! (Hey.. I'll take what I can get :icon_wink)
Haha that's adorable. When one of my friends told me he was bi, I nodded in approval, held up my hand to him and said 'bi-five'. - As for me, I had a weird epiphany last night and now I'm almost certain I'm a trans dude. I'm scared shitless about it and honestly I wish that I wasn't because it's inconvenient and confusing as all hell...but to hell with that, it's a start I guess.
When I first had a moment like that I felt exactly the same way.. But unlike a sudden realization, transition is a gradual thing. And it can be as slow as you need it to. (Side note, that's a really big step, and I'm happy for you!!)
Thanks so much! Knowing me I'll probably flip-flop around on this for a few days/weeks but for now I'm okay. (*hug*)
Got a catcall today. Denim mini skirt and long blonde hair and a pink "I ♡ boys" t shirt and high heel boots. Looked like a damn model.
Uuuuh I'm a bit giddy =))) My coworkers just discussed if we'd prefer a woman to next join the team, and when counting the gender quota, they put me with the men without a moment's hesitation. It also means that women are heavily underrepresented in our small group, which is not so good, but I can't help it, personally :dry: The misgendering at work started to gradually disappear, even though I'm so bad at putting my foot down. All it took was a one or two corrections. Everything looks a little bit brighter.

i finally went to a beach today. and wore my black bikini. no one said a word or didnt notice. what a great feeling to be who i want to be sometimes, and not get looked weird at, or pointed at........
I went out today without my binder. Tucked an undershirt in, put on a loose polo shirt, and went for it. It was just too damn hot to bind today, and both of my binders are sweaty and stinky - it's too hot to wear them more than one day. I still got read male most of the time. It was pretty cool. Oh, and we took my daughter to a new doctor to get her camp physical. They called her birth name, I quietly corrected them (while she did the same but loudly, kid has a mind of her own when it comes to that!), and it didn't happen again for the whole visit. The doctor once asked me why the name change, I said "she's transgender", and the doc went "oh, okay, that explains it." No other problems. It was a good day.
"That haircut gives you spunk" ... I'm doing something right?... not all efforts went into nothing?... ---------- Post added 25th Jul 2016 at 05:46 PM ---------- Congrats Best experience ever, isn't it?
based on that profile pic I can see why. that is a fantastic pic, as usual ---------- Post added 26th Jul 2016 at 09:15 AM ---------- you are a much braver lady than I (*hug*)
I have had a second epiphany and I'm now feeling deliriously happy. Without going into too much detail, I was having some passing...shall we say, lewd thoughts (hehe) concerning some female celebrity or other, and I realized that I could not imagine myself as female doing (*censored out of respect for common decency - hehe*) with them. I almost cried and now I can't stop laughing. For a couple of days I was almost certain that I was trans but I still doubted it because my dysphoria wasn't as prominent as I thought it should've been all the time, but now...yup, this is what I want, and I'll be damned if I don't piss at least a few morons off along the way to get it.
