Small Victories

Bought my first bra, learnt how to get it on and off, figured out how to stuff it.

 

Electrolysis today! I've been getting lasered/electrolysis for like 3 years now.

 

I'm making progress with my voice training. I could probably almost pass now if I nail the speech pattern better.

 

Got correctly misgendered a couple of times today, while on a video chat site with my friend (because we where really bored xd) ^_^

 

I got myself new sunglasses, for the first time since a couple of years, and those are unisex and aviators and look cool I got myself a manly shirt too xP

 

I had 13 laser sessions on my face and 7 sessions of electrolysis after that and I still have some stragglers. After the laser and 6 electrolysis sessions I decided to move on to other parts of my body and take a break on my face since it was getting annoying. I think the break was worth it, I've had lots of other spots lasered since then and it's helped me feel a lot better compared to getting rid of a few hairs on my face each session.

To be honest I haven't really noticed much change in any of my hair since I started hormones. Some people say it makes a big difference though. Hormones are weird.

 

Congrats! ^.^

 

That sentence:
"You look just like your father when he was young!"

 

I managed to make an appointment with a therapist finally, a few months after the last one i tried it with wasn't so great.
In my country, long-time therapy is mandatory before any kind of legal or medical transition is allowed, so yay me!
Oh shit, it's tomorrow. Got to go practice my nice-and-normal straight trans man facade =).

 

One of my coworkers just called me a man out of the blue. No particular reason, just to validate me I guess. I got all happy and red in the face. He is the only one at work I'm out to. If it it's going to feel that good every time I'm correctly gendered I need to get going on this transition process.

 

I saw a counselor and I think I'm closer to accepting that I'm trans. It felt really big.

 

Today I posted my first picture as a trans guy on a new tumblr I made and I got called a cutie and, even better, handsome.

 

Oh, cool! : )

 

YAY!

I came out to someone and we've been having the most amazing conversation. Her life is so interesting and I think we're becoming REAL friends and not just online acquaintances.

 

I came out to my parents like a weeK ago and we had a counselor meeting yesterday, and today we went out and bought my first official non-secret girl's tank top. (!) And it was my stepmom's idea! :eusa_danc I am SO excited right now. Now, if only I can convince them to let me transition this upcoming year in high school so I can wear a dress to my junior prom. :dry:

 

Super YAY! Good luck!
