    so, therapist told me I have a very feminine body language; I kinda know it myself, but hearing it honestly described as such by another, that was a nice thing to boost my confidence, even if it's such a small thing.

    Just went shopping at Target at the women's clearance rack... Feels double-good. Sticking it to the stupid AFA-led boycott plus getting a bunch of really cute clothes at cheap prices.

    So after a badly explained coming out about 5 months ago I gave my parents a letter hoping to help them understand better. They came to visit today and my dad has now started referring to me with male pronouns! :grin:

    Finally got my hair cut~ It looks pretty good! I did get some looks after my case worker brought me out to DQ to get some celebratory ice cream but I wasn't going to let it get me down. I wanted this for the longest time and I deserve to be happy like everyone else.

    That is actually why I got it in this sort of style and not a nice, formal looking style :slight_smile:

    I was telling my mum how I made a hole in my pajamas when undressing. She said she had heard on the TV that guys often grab the back part of the shirt collar and when doing so dig their finger into the fabric and eventually get a hole in it this way. Then she said it really seemed like I have it (=maleness) in me. :icon_bigg

    Made a quick video today (for myself) on updates/thoughts about where I am with my gender. It's a private vlog diary of sorts (I've made a few in the past). Thought it'd be good to keep them and look back on them over time, or see my progress in figuring myself out. I guess that counts as a small victory?

    Looks absolutely amazing. I love it.

    I tried packing for the first time today and it was honestly the best feeling
    I felt so much less disphoric than I usually do :slight_smile:

    Massachusetts senate and house are voting on the "bathroom bill" on may 12th. Please let that pass (no pun intended).

    I put on makeup for the first time tonight, as a reward for kicking ass at therapy this morning and at my son's birthday party. I felt so beautiful and feminine that I really didn't want to take it off before bed, but I did.

    I just realized that my two-year old brother sees me as male. He knows the difference, because he calls my little sister a girl, but to me he says, "You strong boy!"

    It's innocent enough that my parents would think he's just confused, but it feels great when he says that.

    That's awesome. You're going to wear a kick-ass suit, right?

    I'm not sure if this counts but whatever it made me excited. So I never wanted to be a mom. It's not that I don't want kids it's just the idea of being a mom didn't excite me at all. I've begun my transition from ftm and today I realized that one day I could be a DAD. The thought of being a dad absolutely excited me to my core! I think it's cool how everything is starting to line up within me.

    No clue. They don't want a traditional wedding.
    There was strong talk of a dragon wedding cake
    And a small gluten free cake for me
