you're moving right along sweetie, so happy for you.(*hug*)

 

It's the third time my little sister (8 yr old) has asked me, "Do you wish you were a boy?" I just don't answer, since I'm not out. But it makes me smile inside.

 

Saturday I actually went to a pool party with several friends as myself. Not one problem. All were accepting.

 

Oh, my God, this. My brother (9) and sister (5) have gone from asking me if I'm a boy, to telling me that I'm a boy, to telling other people in our family that I'm a boy. And I think the people around us are beginning to notice some truth; I don't say anything, but I smile at it... for them to see.

This, along with my dad outright saying he's not an idiot and is just waiting for me to tell him my secret...

It's a step up, guys.

Ahhh, yay! That's amazing.

 

Today and yesterday at the beach, I think I passed fairly well or at least blurred the gender views a bit. Apparently wearing a tee, the right sports bra, and surfer shorts works great. There were some other guys with ponytails too, so I don't stick out like a sore thumb. Even though my dad seems against trans* people (or he just thinks Caitlyn is trying to get attention?), we played a game of beach football just like a father and son would! Sounds cliche but it was fun, and I realized that I can still pass and dress how I want at the beach. There's nothing better than realizing that you can enjoy a week-long vacation and do that.

 

on a personal very small victory, i was able to spend part or most of 5 days (had to go in guy mode for part of each day) as my femine self last week from thursday to sunday and part of monday past as my son was at work. it was sooo nice.:icon_bigg

 

That's awesome! 5 days is a lot of time to femme it up

My new ID with the correct gender came in the mail today! I can now display it in my clear wallet spot for IDs without shame. Now I'm just waiting for my new birth certificate to come in the mail and then once I have that I can update my health card and it'll all be done.

 

it was pretty cool, just felt so....right, im not looking to transition but to let me be her was fantastic.

and congrats on the ID. another step on the ladder to great things for you i believe.

 

That's a beautiful story! I hope you have more and more of those in the future

 

I finally had the guts to call myself by the new name I had chosen for myself (albeit in private when no one was around); and it felt absolutely amazing to do so; it felt right.

 

excellent feeling isn't it? it felt so right to say it to myself and then my son, and counselor. i even let it slip to a friend and she was so excited for me. wonderful feelings all around.:icon_bigg

 

It truly is, even through it will still be some time before I can have the independence and freedom to begin presenting as the woman that I want to be and begin the road to transition, it still feels amazing to have an identity, one that feels right; one that fits the real me.

 

Breast augmentation might be in my nearish future. I'm pretty stoked.

 

I wear perfume everyday now, and I'm getting better at playing with my hair. I'm also making weight loss plans and once I lose the weight I'll start working on my transition. ^♡^ <3

 

I get my first injection of estradiol tomorrow. Pharmacy was out when I tried to fill it Friday. I bet kid me never thought I'd be so excited to stab myself in the leg with a needle!

Though that bit's a bit scary on it's own since I have to do it myself...

 

wow, so happy for you.:icon_bigg(*hug*)

 

My mom bought my brother a t-shirt from Paris.
Good news is, he didn't want it so I got it!!
I'm out to my mom so she didn't even ask questions

 

my son went to his grandparents for the weekend and i was able to spend 2 whole days enfem. it was wonderful, much better wearing a skirt when it's really hot and sticky than pants.
