    I'm in that part of my transition/effects of HRT, that I caught three people in the last 10 minutes staring at me, like they were trying to figure out if I was a girl or guy.

    Part of me thinks that's awesome... the other part that overthinks things is like, "nooo, judging staaaares, whyyyyy...? ;<;"

    Today, I was out, walking around and I walked down some steps and-

    Dafuq?

    I jiggled for the first time. Surreal experience and I'm sure the look on my face was a sight to behold for everyone around me, but I don't even care right now. : D

    My dad sent me an email referring to me by my chosen name. It's a first from my parents!

    My parents bought me a necklace while I was away with school.
    It's not much but I think it was like them saying "we accept you"

    Wore my white and black v neck tshirt dress outside today. Felt good to have androgenus clothing on. I think I blurred the gender lines. Can't wait to get more passible clothing.

    Hey! Things are mostly OK. I ended up getting my eyebrows waxed as well. Feeling pretty! Hopefully you are well :slight_smile:

    At the gym last week, I put my workout log in the file upside-down by accident, and the coach in charge of my group's logs laughed and said I was 'that one guy' because some person ends up doing silly stuff like that by mistake every week. It was both funny and heartening to know I'm either looking kind of androgynous or passing.

    Though last weekend the guy behind the food counter at the bowling alley said 'What would you like to order, m'aam?' While he said it out of politeness, I inwardly got a bit disappointed that I don't quite pass.

    I finally came out to my parents about being trans, after avoiding it for far to long. I feel blessed to have such supportive family members. They did ask alot of hard questions though.

    so, around eleven and a half hours ago, my dad picked me up to go see my counselor and, during the appointment with my counselor, I finally got to get some legitimate conversation about being trans with him after having had a rather awkward attempt at it four/five years ago. that in itself is a bit of a victory for me, but it's not even the most important thing that happened there. as it turns out, my dad actually wants to try being accepting and understanding of me and had just not done a very good job of expressing that the first time around.

    Had to show my ID and the guy went 'You think it's funny? ... That is not you!'

    I had to laugh and leave, I was about to jump over the counter and kiss the guy.

    My mom's started calling me "B", my nickname (birth name and real name start with same letter). Not 100% but we're finally getting somewhere.

    Thanks! :eusa_danc
    I was building up strength to have a long and tough talk but they were like "well that wasn't so bad." So the long talk i was expecting turned into a good talk right away :eusa_danc

    Me and my sister talked about it properly for the first time because, as awful as it sounds, I couldn't see that this was so difficult for her... it was great though, and I came out at church which went way better than expected and everyone's so great, the only thing I regret is not saying anything sooner. Also I learned to pee standing up, so I can use non empty bathrooms now, which is great :slight_smile:
