Small Victories

So I finally got up the courage to ask a girl I like at work out on a date. I kind of feel like a chicken because I did it over Facebook. She hasn't replied yet and no I am not out to her. But if it gets to that point I feel like I could tell her. I really hope she says yes because I have wanted to ask her for over a year

 

I just started rehearsals for a theatre production, and after auditions, I came out as trans to the director. (I had auditioned for a male role, but she hadn't suspected anything because I don't pass.)

But now I'm singing with the guys, I've been guaranteed a male role, and everyone there is calling me by my preferred name! It's always rad to find a safe, accepting place.

 

Well it doesn't seem to want me to edit my last post so ya. Got a reply wasn't quite what I was hoping for but sue did say it would be fun to go to the movies or somthing as friends so I will take it

 

Finally posted some pics of my dolls, and me. First time doing that on a forum. Gives me a massive confidence boost.

 

My friend and I went to a fair about saving the environment and decided to go on these bicycle things which you pedal and see who can create the most energy. The guy running it asked our names to put on the scoreboard and my friend said, "Our names are Jed and Wolfgang", using my preferred name and pronouns throughout the whole day! (I had only come out to him by text the day before)

What's more, I beat him on the bikes so I'm pretty chuffed about that as well

 

My mom is going to buy me men's underwear!! :icon_bigg

 

Passed a "prove your female with a voice clip" thing the other day...

 

I'm planning to have someone print all the forms I need to have my birth certificate fixed. Money was always a silly excuse, I'm doing it even if I go in debt because it'll make me happy.

 

Way to go. don't go too far in debt but you should definatly do what makes you happy and getting your BC fixed is a big cool step.(*hug*)

 

I went out to a meet and greet last evening and introduced myself as Corbin, even got a name-tag. Having people call me Corbin all evening felt really good. It was at a gay bar and a gentleman bought me a drink, while others used feminine pronouns. I'm not too bothered by the pronoun thing right now. I actually liked that I did not obviously fall into one of the binary genders.(!)

 

I have really wanted to be more social for a long time now, and have finally taken a few steps forward. I have gone out twice for drinks with a makeup artist friend, and actually went to an open house at a local support/social group I've been meaning to check out for a while. It felt nice, and right, and really very liberating! I'm really quite comfortable in public once I'm out, it's everything that goes into getting out that is difficult.

 

A guy today called me miss at the supermarket, he even asked me for my name and email I think he may be interested.

 

Partner and I found an FTM group downtown. Since it's also open to anyone who identifies as male, figure we'll give it a shot. It's the first sign of an actual trans community down here.

 

I was talking with another trans friend recently and he asked me how I get my voice so deep and if I could teach him, which just made my day

Also, I was talking to a friend and mentioned that it's far too hot to bind right now and she said "not that I'm staring at your chest, but I'd never know"

 

What can we say, it was a good thread.
